Everyone in the Philippines, and even the international scene, knows who Whang-Od is.
This legendary tattoo artist is well-known and highly-regarded for her skills.
Although she is quite old and her traditional tattooing style is dying out, she has stated numerous times that she will only impart her wisdom to someone of her bloodline. She believes that it would tarnish the tradition if someone from a different bloodline learned her family's trade.
Her insistence on tradition is why she's called the "Huling Mambabatok."
The tattoos made by Whang-Od are extremely sought after as the legend is already in her 90's.
