The volume
Photographer Jake Verzosa's portrait series documenting the last generation of Kalinga women who wear the traditional batok tattoos of the Cordillera mountains in the northern Philippines. Shot between 2009 and 2013, the lace-like patterns are read as marks of beauty, status and belonging, accompanied by an illustrated glossary of the tattoo motifs and their meanings.
