In the Royal Ontario Museum, in Toronto, Canada hangs a huge banner announcing the opening of an art exhibit that "explores the history and evolution of tattooing." And there we saw an image that's familiar to most of us, no other than Apo Whang-Od!
Apo Whang-Od became popular after being featured in numerous travel websites and television programs. Tourists now flock to her humble abode in Tinglayan not only to get a glimpse of the artist but to get one of her unique tattoos as well. #paknapaklang
