As far I can remember, I've watched the television series Tattoo Hunter of Lars Krutak and one of the story of the series is tattooing here in the Philippines. The place where Lars Krutak have his documentary is in Kalinga. There only few who posses that tattooing culture in Kalinga. One of the last tattooist in Kalinga is Whang Od.

I am still hoping that this culture of Kalinga is would still exist in the future. I, myself want to have a Kalinga tattoo in my body.
In Kalinga, the warriors have their tattoo after their victory in the fight,.

I hope that this culture will continue in the future.
