Indigenous Filipino tattoo artist, 106, graces Vogue cover as oldest model ever.

TL;DR Summary
Vogue Philippines' April issue features 106-year-old Apo Whang-Od, the oldest mambabatok (traditional tattooist) in the Philippines and a master of the 1,000-year-old "batok" tattooing technique. Whang-Od's artwork has driven waves of tattoo tourism to the Philippines, and she has passed down her knowledge to her grandnieces. She is the face of Vogue Philippines' Beauty issue, which highlights the female gaze and the strength and beauty of Filipino culture.
