Kalinga Tattoo - documentary

KALINGA TATTOO documents the vanishing tattoo art and traditions of the Kalinga tribe in the remote
mountains of the northern Philippines. Combining the visionary talents of numerous international
photographers and the words and stories of nearly fifty Kalinga elders, KALINGA TATTOO is the first
book to tell the story of this incredibly rich tradition of indigenous body art that is believed to be
1,000 years old. Here?s a rare trove of tattoo motifs, variations and interpretations which can reveal
new perspectives for every interested tattooist.
