A Filipino tattoo artist, who has been working on body art for more than nine decades, has become Vogue’s new cover star – at the age of 106.
Apo Whang-Od, also known as Maria Oggay, appears on the cover of Vogue Philippines this month.
She has become the oldest ever star of the global fashion magazine, knocking off the previous title holder, then-85-year-old Dame Judi Dench.
Editor-in-chief of Vogue Philippines, Bea Valdes, said it was a unanimous decision among staff at the publication to put Whang-Od on the cover.
And, as you’d imagine, the story has gone global very quickly.
