EN: to tattoo (in a traditional way)
The OG way of getting inked, Apo Whang-Od style. It's not about walking into a sterile shop; it's about receiving a piece of living history on your skin, tapped in with a stick and thorn. The verb for earning a mark that tells a story.
From the root word 'batik', referring to traditional Filipino tattoos.
This term is specific to traditional tattooing methods (like 'pagbabatok') and is distinct from the modern term 'magpa-tattoo'.
