Captivating photo of a 94yo tattoo artist who lives deep within the depths of the Philippines. Her name is Fang (Whang)-Od. Those tattoos are traditional Filipino tribal designs, an art form dating back to the pre-Spanish occupation.

This is actually my most favourite post on tumblr. Usually south East Asian countries are ignored by the tumblrsphere, as most people people think of China, Japan and South Korea when appreciating Asia. It’s nice to see a bit of filipino history and culture on my dash !!
