Watched a mini documentary about Whang-od, the oldest traditional Kalinga tattooist in the Phillipines. 

She's such a bad ass looking old lady if you ever Google her, I'd love to draw her one day. For now, here's a sketch I did inspired by the tattoo art.  It's a hand tapped tattoo style reserved for head hunters. On one hand its nice that there isn't a need for head hunting as much anymore. On the other, there's a whole art form that may die with that.  Very interesting stuff!

Love these occasional phillipines inspired pieces.
