Sak Yant tattoo help

[Keirajones12345]

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]

You might want to know what a tattoo means BEFORE you get it. What if it means "kick me"?

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.

Hey there...so what exactly are you asking?

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.

So then @Hogriderwas completely justified in his comment, you got something permanently tattooed on your body and have no idea what it says.

Maybe find a forum for Buddhist monks and ask them.

Maybe you should learn some manners and understand that newbies shouldn’t act like ass holes.  🙂

Oh, do one, won't you? No one needs your newbie garbage attitude up in here. The ignore button is a wonderful thing.
