		<description>hELLO MY NAME IS CLAUDIA and in my recently trip to thailand i get a sak yant tatoo in ink name gao yord in the temple WAT BANG PHRA that is located about 1 hour drive from Bangkok. The temple opens early and is busy so is better arrive early, you must get some cigarrets and flowers that you can purchase in the Temple plus 200 baths as an offer.

You must wear apropiate clothes if u are a girl, and with that i mean not showing to much skin, and a extra jacket if is possible.

Make sure you enter the room with respect, without shoes, and with your head down and shoulders in meaning of reverance of the monks present.

Also make sure you know rhe name of the sak yant that you want a get and where you want it or where it supossed to go and show it to the monk. maybe is a good idea take with you the symbol somewhere like in a piece of paper and show him where you want the Sak Yant, as the monks dont speak english.

Or well you can maybe ask for a taxi driver, from a local taxi company that speak english to take you there and be your translator this will cost you about 1500 baths, trust me is a good deal.

The pain that you will experiment is really reasonable dont worry about it. Just try to keep your hands together like if you will pray, or you can hug yourself as well. The process is fast and efficient, you almost wont even bleed.

When the Sak Yant is done make sure you say Thank You. (ka pun ka)

You can get a Sak Yant tatoo in ink, if you are a girl, dont worry about it and go for it you wont regret the experience.

The temple is beautiful, and you can eat the best fried rice you ever tried in your life in there :) plus feed the fishes in the river.

Is such a wonderful experience, just do some research about the SAK YANT you wand and why? 

Buddhism is such a beautiful  wise and peaceful philosophy i reckon we all should get more in to it :)

Dont hesitate ask me for more info if you need it, i will do my best, and hope this clear some of your doubts.

If you don&#039;t want to be lectured about copyright law then you don&#039;t fucking (just to use your lexicon) start questioning others about copyright law.

Yes I... piss off. I don&#039;t want to mess with the blogger, he might whip me with his witty sarcasm. You can answer if you want, although I&#039;m not coming back to read the response we all know you need to answer publicly in an act of exhibitionism... That&#039;s why you became a blogger after all.</description>

		<description>Hey Paksi,

If you haven&#039;t noticed, this is a personal blog post about sak yant tattoos. I neither asked for, nor wanted, your opinion on the subject of international copyright law. If I wanted to get into a full-fledged discussion about copyright law, I&#039;d go back to practicing law. But I don&#039;t, so umm ... piss off?

Thanks for playing!</description>

		<description>in contrary to the above idea that the reason that monks are not allowed to touch women because they are unclean, (total nonsense!) the truth is that a monk must not touch a woman because it may arouse his sexual desires, which it most definitely does after decades without any honey pie and the anyway rpude nature of Thai Culture. Some Thais get excited just seeing white skin on your arms never mind legs, and thats talking about lay Thais not Monks...
 Monks should not touch women for their own protection to keep their Sila, not because women are unclean. I am well studied in Vinaya.</description>

		<description>you are allowed to choose yur design if you can speak Thai and explainyourself.. but someone born in year of snake for example, cannot have a Garuda, as they are enemies. If you have a tattoo of Phra Ram (Rama), then you cannot have a tattoo of a Yaksa, as they are enemies and will fight.. so sometimes the monk wont do a certain tattoo. Also if the tattoo design does not exist in the lineage of that particular Master or temple then they wont do it. Some masters, such as Ajarn Thoy Dabos, will make any design you wish, as he is very flexible. MOnks who tattoo women are actually breaking the law of Vinaya as they are not allowed to touch a woman, so it is better and fairer to them to visit a Ruesi instead of a Monk. Ruesi are not breaking any rules by tattooing or touching a woman.</description>

		<description>forgot to add that i wish to thank you for reminding me of what was always my principle since the beginnig and somehting that i seem to have forgotten;
Namely, my desire to promote free information for all on the internet and non-posessive sharing, that applies also to fotos. Thanks for waking me up to this fact i must have got the selfishness or jealousy mind poison in my brain somehow. How stupid of me , i have now decided to not interest myself whether my material is taken and used somewhere else on the www.
I wonder how you will react when you see somone make a blog with a large portion of your content and publish? I hope you practise what you preach - i will definitely practise what you preached to me..</description>

		<description>Yes you are right about that one should lighten up
I apologize publicly
Smetimes we humans get too easily wound up and i am no exception, i obviusly jumped the gun and i am man enough to admit it.
But also you should lighten up as if it is after all only a website then you shouldnt be calling me a douchebag if you are taking things as lightly as you would like me to.
I am however not offended as i know you are only suffering a natural angry reaction to my first comment, which is quite understandable. Dochebag is howver a rather inpolite term for which im sure you have just made yourself look just as tupid as did by jumping the gun and not looking properly before i open my big stupid mouth. I feel rather embarrassed for my slip up. I wonder if you do for your extremely angry reaction and offensive/aggressive reaction.</description>

		<description>I just visited Thailand and went to Wat Bang Phra Temple for my tattoo. I am a 35 year old women and looked into it before receiving my tattoo. I did not get the invisible tattoo.

Also, the monk that does the tattoo cannot touch the skin of a woman and therefore he wears a glove while he conducts the art work of the tattoo. He also had an assistant that is able to touch the back. If he has no assistant then he cannot do tattoo on a woman. I was lucky that there was an assistant there and he was able to do the first in a series of four tattoos which is the &quot;Temple&quot;.

You are correct, we are not allowed to choose what and where we want the tattoo. Monk chooses for you. When he is done he does a prayer and then you finish. I only paid 200 Baht for it which is equivalent to about $6-$7 american dollars. I gave an additional 100 Baht as a contribution. They take the money as an offering with cigarettes, flowers and incense which is sold at the temple for 200 Baht. So really i spent 500 baht for the whole experience and I am very happy with it, which is about $20 us dollars for a tattoo.

So don&#039;t be fooled. You must go to Wat Bang Phra Temple which is wear Angelina and Jon Bon Jovi got their tattoos. 

It is meant for men but women can get them. It is suppose to protect you from harm and give you look in love with the opposite sex.</description>
