Pintados
Pintados was the term used by Spanish colonists to describe indigenous people with tattooed bodies residing on the islands of Cebu, Bohol, Samar and Leyte in the Biçayas (Visayas) region of the Philippines.〔G. Nye Steiger, H. Otley Beyer, Conrado Benitez, ''A History of the Orient'', Oxford: 1929, Ginn and Company, pp. 122-123.〕 The word itself means "painted," and was first used during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines.〔"Pintados." - WikiPilipinas: The Hip 'n Free Philippine Encyclopedia. N.p., n.d. Web. 3 May 2013.〕 The men are known for their tattoo art, which often covers most of their bodies. They apply the tattoos by pricking the skin with sharp pieces of iron and then applying black powder to the open wounds which is absorbed into the skin permanently.
The inhabitants of the province of ''Camarines,'' located at the eastern end of the islands, resemble the Pintados.
Writing in 1565, in describing the natives, Rodriguez says: "... these Indians wear gold earrings, and the chiefs wear two clasps about the feet. All the body, legs, and arms are painted; and he who is bravest is painted most."
==Pintado native clothing==
Pintado natives wear their hair long, fastened in a knot on the crown of their head. Women often wear large earrings made of gold and ivory, and decorative scarves around their heads. The women also wear skirts that reach halfway down their leg with a loose, collarless jacket with tight sleeves. Fastened in front, these garments are made of medriñaque and colored silks. No shirts or underpants are worn, instead wearing bahaques (breech-clouts).
