MANILA, Philippines — Content creator and model-actress Zeinab Harake is the latest celebrity to get inked by legendary mambabatok Apo Whang-Od.

Zeinab shared her experience of traveling to Buscalan, Kalinga, to meet Whang-Od in a new video on her YouTube channel.

The portion where Zeinab finally sits down with Whang-Od is towards the end of the video, where the centenarian put her signature three dots on Zeinab's left arm above a previous tiger tattoo.

"'Yung sakit niya masarap... ang angas ng pagta-tattoo niya," Zeinab said while Whang-Od worked on her craft.

Her sister Rana, also a content creator, got inked behind her left ear, one of their companions got a pattern on their right wrist, and another one in the middle of their forehead.

Because of Whang-Od's ripe age — she is turning 107 today, February 17 — she can only do minimal dot patterns for people who come visit her.

Zeinab commemorated the experience with photos on her Instagram account. "Finally with one and only Apo Whang Od," she wrote in the post's caption.

Previous celebrities who were inked by Whang-Od include Maine Mendoza, Paolo Ballesteros, Rhian Ramos, Kim Atienza and Drew Arellano.

Whang-Od received the Presidential Medal of Merit at Malacañang Palace earlier this week. At the same ceremony, she met long-serving politician Juan Ponce Enrile, who became a centenarian last February 14. — Video from Zeinab Harake YouTube channel
