Description
Sak Yant is a form of tattoing that consists of sacred geometrical and animal designs accompanied by Pali phrases.
They are believed to offer power, protection, charisma, fortune and other benefits to the ones who wear them.
Entire legends, stories and magical meanings are connected to Sak Yant tattoos.
For example, "Jor Ra Kae" yantra, which is a representation of a crocodile, was believed to have been an animal that could continuously eat and never get full. Having this tattoo attracts money and wealth.
Another famous and interesting example of Sak Yant tattoo is "Phaya Tao Ruean" yantra, which is represented as a king turtle. This yantra is believed to prevent all disasters from thieves to fire.
