World's Oldest Tattoo Artist

World's Oldest Tattoo Artist

 


In the jungles of the philippines there is a woman who is a hundred and three years old she is the oldest tattoo artist in the world and she doesn't use a tattoo machine and she doesn't let you choose your own tattoo who is this woman and why do tourists beg her to get a tattoo when i was in the philippines i met a

Lot of tourists who came to the country not to see the beaches but to get a tattoo from the 103 year old lady so i thought to myself how good could this woman be well we chased her down to tell you her story she lives two days away from the capital not two hours not two flights two full days

So we flew all the way to the north of the country then we had to get on a jeep and trek for another one full day until the next morning we arrived here in the village of buscalan where we found one old the way she makes tattoos is unlike any other first you do not choose your own design you have to pick from these

Each of them has a different meaning this means protection this means direction and this means long life one ode also makes her own ink out of charcoal and water she uses her own needles out of thorns from a tree she even has her own way of drawing by tapping the tattoo on your skin [Music] and even though she's a hundred years

Old she can tap really really fast as fast as a hundred taps a minute and this one of a kind tattoo will only cost you 20 but it's not just unique or beautiful it's also a link to a lost history a thousand years ago there used to be more tattoo makers like one owned but they didn't give tattoos to tourists they gave tattoos to village men and women

To wish them good luck in battle and good luck in marriage look at was actually the first woman in her village to become a tattoo maker but as this tradition dies out and other tattoo makers passed away ode became the last one of her kind of important so she decided

 To break a thousand-year-old tradition by starting to ink tourists liam and now hundreds of tourists just like me go to that village in the middle of nowhere to get to the world's most unique tattoo artist so even when she dies she can keep the tradition alive on the skin of many people for

Another 1000 years until then you'll find this 103 year old woman sitting here in her room tapping her way to the history books hey youtube did you love that video i hope you did because now we are in a 30-day video marathon single day for 30 days we are uploading one video from around the world about an interesting person we are flying to
