Author:

First English language title to explore Thailand’ sacred tattoos. For both tattoo enthusiasts as well as Buddhists who want to learn more about the spiritual art form. Includes exclusive interviews with tattoo Masters located all across Thailand. Over 250 colour photographs capturing the Masters at work and includes many fine examples of tattoo art. Sacred Tattoos of Thailand explores the fascinating centuries old tradition of sak yan tattoos, tracing the spiritual art form from Thailand back to its roots in Cambodia and India. The tattoos are believed to imbue the wearer with special powers and protection to help them in their everyday lives, but the tradition is also deeply entwined in the Buddhist moral code and the designs can lose their powers if a wearer errs from their spiritual path.
