Traditional-Filipino-tattoo practitioner, Lane Wilcken, is never scared when ancestral spirits visit during tattoo sessions. He knows that those spirits, the ones that are just stopping by, aren\\u2019t the ones you have to worry about.

Thank you, Lane Wilcken, for sharing your story with us! Lane wrote the book on traditional Filipino tattooing \\u2014 Filipino Tattoos: Ancient to Modern. Today, Lane is one of only twenty people in the world who practice Filipino tattooing in its traditional form.
