Whang-od Oggay (First name pronunciation: [ˈ(h)wɐŋˈ(ʔ)ɔd];[5][additional citation(s) needed] born February 17, 1917),[6] also known as Maria Oggay,[7] is a tattoo artist from the village of Buscalan within Tinglayan, Kalinga, Philippines.[8][9] She is often described as the "last" and oldest mambabatok (traditional Kalinga tattooist)[3] and is part of the Butbut people of the larger Kalinga ethnic group.[10]
At 15, she began tattooing Butbut headhunters and women. Butbut warriors traditionally earned tattoos from deeds in combat. With the end of tribal warfare in the region, Whang-od continues to practice traditional tattooing on tourists visiting Buscalan.[11]
Unlike the majority of Filipinos, she does not speak Tagalog or English. She only communicates in Kalinga, her native language, and Ilocano, a lingua franca of Northern Luzon.[12]
In April 2023, 106-year-old Whang-od appeared on the cover of Vogue Philippines' Beauty Issue, making her the oldest person to ever be on the cover of Vogue.[13][14][15]
The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) conferred on Whang-od the prestigious Dangal ng Haraya Award at Tabuk, the capital of Whang-od's ethnic province of Kalinga, in 2018. She was nominated for the National Living Treasures Award (Gawad Manlilikha ng Bayan) in 2017. Her nomination is still being processed by the NCCA.[16][17][18][19]
