Here’s Halle Berry’s Reaction To Apo Whang-Od’s Vogue cover
HALLE BERRY – American actress Halle Berry reacted to the stunning magazine cover of Kalinga tattoo artist Apo Whang-Od.
Maria Oggay also known as Apo Whang-Od is the Philippines’ oldest Mambabatok or traditional Kalinga tattooist. The 106-year-old tattoo artist has been tattooing people’s skin since she was 15 years old. She works with tools that are incredibly delicate and call for expert handling.
With her appearance on the cover of Vogue Philippines’ April 2023 beauty issue, Apo Whang-Od broke the record for the oldest person to grace a Vogue cover.
Apo Whang-Od is pictured on the cover of Vogue Philippines looking directly into the camera, sporting a dark red lip, and having her hair pulled back out of her face and accessorized with a rust-colored headband.
Apo is dressed simply in a black vest top with her arm tattoos on display, accessorizing with a beautiful colorful beaded necklace and tiny gold hoops.
Sharing the cover on her IG account, Apo wrote, “Beauty embracing culture. Beauty transcending age. Beauty is not modern, it is timeless.”
