The line, featured on the brand’s website, includes caps, a bucket hat, and a shirt printed with various symbols featured in Whang-od’s tattoo art.New Era posted about the Whang-od line on social media. In their post they said that they “secured all the legal matters before proceeding.” Whang-od, who lives in the remote town of Buscalan in Kalinga, began tattooing when she was 15 years old, learning the craft from herfather. She traditionally tattooed warriors from their tribe who earned their marks – but later, after she was featured in the documentaryby Lars Krutak, she applied her craft to tourists who sought her out and visited her town.
I hope she gets the cut she deserves.
