Batek is a revered traditional tattooing practice in the Philippines, especially cherished among indigenous communities in the Cordillera region, including Benguet. These tattoos are more than just body art—they are symbols of one's identity, social status, bravery, and accomplishments. The traditional ink, crafted from a unique blend of soot and sacred water from Mt. Pulag, results in a natural, long-lasting pigment. Embrace this rich cultural heritage and proudly wear a Batek tattoo that tells your story and honors the legacy of the Cordillera region. "I source ink from different places because many clients seek a connection to their identity, roots, and ancestral land. This is especially meaningful for those born or raised in other countries who want to reconnect with their culture and heritage. It is my mission to encourage people to proudly reclaim and revive our practices that were lost in time or are at risk of being forgotten." Ate Wamz atewamz.com
