Ano passado fizemos uma viagem para Buscalan, onde encontramos com Apo Whang Od, a tatuadora mais velha do mundo! Um privilégio!

Last weekend, I embraced a daring opportunity to travel solo. I did not even know if the Joiners group was legit until the tour coordinator was very accomodating, but still i payed my downpayment and pushed through. Leaving my work for a while was kinda risky but i put all my faith that all things would go well.

Traveling to Buscalan was terrific 😈🤣 but atleast the views was all that mattered. My main goal was to witness the pre-colonial building structures of the Rice Terraces. It even greeted me during the 30 minute hike towards the town.

My visit was quick and it checked everything I expected; unlimited local coffee(one of the best i tasted), an honor to meet Whang Od(107 years old National Artist of Traditional Tattoo) and finally touched the Rice Terraces.

I wrapped up my last day savoring coffee and capturing photos of the rising sun over the Buscalan Rice Terraces. Grateful for this experience, thank you, God!

Inking is not new. It may look like a fun, modern pastime, but it's an ancient art. Tattoos and inks have been part of tribal cultures worldwide for centuries. Before tattoo guns and needles, tattoos were made with rose thorns, shark teeth, and other materials. One 106-year-old woman keeps alive her tattoo culture, even though the oldest known te...

Braved the daunting 11+ hr drive from Manila to Buscalan to meet the living legend, Apo Whang-Od, “the last mambabatok”. I got my first-ever tattoo of a compass by the youngest artist in the village. Whang-Od’s queue was filled beyond capacity to ink our group so her grandniece, Grace Palicas, gave us the signature “3 dots”. It was awe-inspiring to witness this 105-yr-old work tirelessly from early morning ‘til evening tattooing the endless stream of travelers from around the world. When she smiled towards me, I felt a warm light beam straight to my heart. The compass is placed on my right dominant arm to inspire direction/focus. The 3 dots are placed under my left drawing hand as a constant reminder of my family’s country of origin and ancient art. #apowhangod (at Buscalan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmuWHEZB_7j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In BUSCALAN

Woke up, open the window and enjoy the great view of sunrise and mountains around you. You'll see pigs as their pet. Disconnected cellular phones and far from reality world. Start a day with a coffee and live free. People are very kind and hospitable.
