"106 years old" the oldest ever... Who is the "VOGUE" cover model? = Korean coverage

A 106-year-old Philippine native tattooist has become the oldest cover model of the fashion magazine "VOGUE" and is a Hot Topic. This woman was recognized for her achievements in protecting tribal indigenous tattoo technology.

On April 3rd (local time), according to the British Guardian, Apo Wang Odo, who lives in the mountain village of Buscaran in Kalinga Province in the northern Philippines, was appointed to the cover of the Philippine version in recognition of his adherence to tribal tattooing.

Traditional Kalinga tattooing is done by using bamboo sticks with spikes and natural dyes to engrave pictures on the body. Men mean warrior bravery and women mean beauty. Odo, who is said to be the last successor of the tattoo technique, said that he started tattooing at the age of 16. About 15 years ago, Odo's artistic techniques became famous, and tourists sometimes visited the village.

In 2020, movie actress Judi Dench will be the cover model for the British version at the age of 85. The editor of the Philippine version said in an interview with CNN that the staff unanimously selected Odo as the cover model. "We saw her as representing what Filipinos think of beauty. We believe that the concept of beauty needs to evolve and should be able to encompass a wide variety of faces and shapes."
