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

I'll bet the monks are still enjoying this one . . .

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.

My tattoo addition from yesterday at the Veterans benefit at Broad Wing Tattoo in Bowling Green, OH. Great participating in such a meaningful event. They posted today on IG that they raised about $7300 for Vietnam Veterans of America. 3 more nails in the coffin.

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

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.

Guys, let's keep it positive and friendly here please. Locking this thread to stop the violence.

Winner!

If someone can explain more behind the Buddhist meaning of this tattoo

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

As others said, cut WAAAAAAAAAY back on the lotion and give it 4-6 weeks. If you still aren't happy, see the original artist. Cover ups aren't perfect. Thin, delicate skin like the top of the hand are particularly tricky.

Not exactly sure what you are asking but mate I would ease up on the ointment!

Looks like trash polka?

And thus the photos have been posted, it has now officially happened. My butt has been tattooed. I didn't like it and I don't like the healing either. I also was super bummed that I didn't get to go to the San Francisco Asian Art Museum
