CEBU, Philippines — Cebuana singer Sheryn Regis and her girlfriend Mel De Guia got matching couple tattoos from the country’s oldest mambabatok, Kalinga’s Whang-Od.
Regis shared some snaps of them getting a tattoo on Instagram and captioned her post, “A memorable experience with a Legendary Tattoo Artist APO WHANG-OD described as the “last” and oldest “mambabatok” of the larger Kalinga ethnic group.”
Both of them got their matching tattoos on their backs and Whang Od’s three-dot signature on their hands. De Guia got another tattoo on her right arm.
De Guia shared on her YouTube vlog that it was Regis’ first time to get inked.
