Keirajones12345 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I got a sak Yant tattoo today, the meaning seemed to get lost in translation. Can anyone explain to me more the meaning behind this?

Hogrider Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 You might want to know what a tattoo means BEFORE you get it. What if it means "kick me"?

Keirajones12345 Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Due to the lack of education, BEFORE commenting on my post perhaps understand the concept of a Sak Yant tattoo, in which the monk will choose the tattoo for you. Maybe don’t comment unless you are willing to provide knowledge.

Maybe don’t comment unless you are willing to provide knowledge. Expand You yourself demonstrate a lack of education. Monks choose Sak Yant for individuals that do not understand the Thai language (commonly westerners) and it is not the common course of action. Also unless you abide by the Sak Yant rules of conduct the symbol has little meaning as it is considered to be of sacred magical significance. The individuality of each piece also makes it difficult for another to infer its meaning, educated or otherwise, as the monks have their own traditions and pass their knowledge down through the generations. scottyg, Gingerninja, michi0709 and 1 other 4 Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8475-sak-yant-tattoo-help/#findComment-143610 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe find a forum for Buddhist monks and ask them. michi0709, Gingerninja, Hogrider and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8475-sak-yant-tattoo-help/#findComment-143611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
