Throughout history, it has been believed by Thais that tattoos
were protective symbols which all men should bear to ward away harm
from their enemies. It is also believed that tattooing is the start
of entering manhood. The ancient Siamese soldiers strongly believed
that these magical tattoos have defensive power while fighting
their enemies. Sakyant is the spiritual process of tattooing these
magical symbols onto the body. The process is painful and
unbearable, but the result is incredible and beyond belief.
Anyway, I have heard that there is a shop in Yishun somewhere near
blk 928 known as Dingyi Tai Fo Hang who often inviting gurus from
Thailand to do such tattoos. Anyone of you know been there before?
Care to share your experience if you happen to be one of these
fellas who have such tattoos?
Thank you.
