Collection: Sak Yant Tattoo Ideas

A Sak Yant (yantra) tattoo is a sacred Thai tattoo, traditionally hand‑poked by Buddhist monks or ajarns using a metal rod or bamboo. Designs mix geometric shapes and sacred script (often Khmer), each tied to a mantra and meaning—protection, luck, charisma, strength. The artist chants and blesses the tattoo. Receiving one may include rules (precepts) to honor the blessing. Some modern studios use machines, but authentic Sak Yant centers on ritual, lineage, and proper placement. Always choose a respectful, trained practitioner.
