Pintados
Pintados is the term used by Spanish colonists to describe the tattooed bodies of the Boholano People residing in the islands of Biçayas. The word means "painted," and was applied during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines. The men are known for their tattoo art, which often covers most of their bodies. It is produced by using small pieces of iron to prick the skin, then filling in selected areas with natural black powders. The inhabitants of the province of Camarines at the eastern end of this island resemble the Pintados; and even those at the other and southeastern [sc. northern] end of this island also closely resemble the Pintados—although they do not tattoo [pintan] themselves as the latter do, for in these two provinces tattooing is not popular.
