“We believe that the concept of beauty needs to evolve, and include diverse and inclusive faces and forms. What we hope to speak about is the beauty of humanity,” Vogue Philippines editor-in-chief Bea Valdes to CNN.

My massage practitioner, who is originally from the Philippines, shared an interesting experience from her recent visit to her homeland.

I was curious to know what she did on holiday. She mentioned that she had the opportunity to receive a tattoo from a remarkable 106-year-old lady.

This fascinating woman turns out to be a famous tattoo artist. She has even graced the cover of Vogue Philippines’ April Beauty Issue. Her name is Apo Whang-Od. She has become the oldest cover star to appear on Vogue.
