A chat before and after a new tattoo. Another scene from the Sak Yant tattoo festival in Nakhon Pathom. I met these two friendly and quite shy monks chatting on the sidelines of a very busy evening.
Thousands of devotees receive new tattoos during the 2 or 3 days of the festival, and the tattoo masters at work throughout the temple area in many buildings tattoo all night long.
Sak Yant is a traditional Thai form of tattooing, involving sacred geometrical designs, spells and animals. Designs are often intricate with each element providing specific meaning for the wearer, that convey special magical powers like protection, luck or the power of the animal.

Thousands of devotees receive new tattoos during the short time of the festival, and the tattoo masters at work throughout the temple area in many buildings tattoo all night well into the small hours early morning, when preparation for other temple rituals start. This shot here was taken on the 1st day of the festival at 6:29 am.

Here i removed the background, something i don't normally do and am not sure it works. Perhaps a bit more than A1.8 would have been better. How do you think?
The friendly elderly monk saw my interest and kindly allowed a portrait and a photo of his head. Sadly the background was very distracting and i had no room to reposition.
He was queueing to receive a tattoo in a small room in one of the temple's outbuildings. There were 4 tattoo masters in action, with equipment, participants, assistants and others waiting, standing, sitting and lying on the floor wherever there was space.
All with a buzzing kind of background noise, not very loud, but steady. The tattooing action, the fans spinning pointlessly against the heat, some quiet chatting and laughing, chanting and praying audible from other rooms all occasionally peaked by a growling or screaming sound from someone, whose animal spirit and power contained in the spell of the sacred tattoo had become reawakened.
Quite an experience.

I met this friendly guy with the great smile early evening in one of the temple's tattoo areas. He was waiting to receive a new tattoo, queuing for his turn with the tattoo master. At the time there were around 5 masters at work in this area alone, with many people waiting, assisting or just soaking it all in.

Il Sak Yant è una tipologia di tatuaggio sacro, molto diffuso nel sudest asiatico, principalmente in Thailandia e Myanmar, e presente nella regione già da 2000 anni. Secondo la tradizione questi tatuaggi sono magici e hanno il potere di conferire protezione alle persone che li portano. In queste foto racconto la mia esperienza al Wat Bang Phra, un monastero Buddista poco distante da Bangkok, famoso proprio per la pratica del Sak Yant.
The Sak Yant is a sacred tatoo, very common in Southeast Asia, mainly in Thailand and Myanmar. It originated about 2000 years ago. This kind of tatoo is believed to be magic and give protection. In these pictures I tell about my experience in Wat Bang Phra, a Buddhist temple near Bangkok that is well-known for the Sak Yant tatoo.

One of the first tattoos worn by monks: the Buddhas represent the passages of Buddha on Earth, the contour is the umbilical cord of Buddha
Another one from the Sak Yant tattoo festival in a temple and monastery in Nakhon Pathom. For more info on Sak Yat please also see images published previously.
During day time participants gather in the temple grounds, where chanting and prayers continue for hours until the power of the sacred spell and tattoo is awakened and recharged.
Those who feel the power slowly get more agitated, until some howl or scream and crawl or run towards the source of the chanting, where a team of volunteers calms them back into the parallel reality by rubbing their ears (yes really!).
Seeing the power awaken in so many participants one fellow foreign visitor jokingly asked me who came first: this festival or George Romero. I didn't have an answer :)

Amulets too are a popular means of protection for many in Thailand, and this awesome super friendly guy might have an advice or two for anyone looking for such protection.

I can't see the future, I don't know the end,
I can always predict that we'll always be friends.
We'll grow, we'll change, and we'll see you again,
like two seeds grown apart
in different places in the front yard.

Traditional Sak Yant (also called Sak Yan, or Yantra) tattoos are hand-etched onto the skin using ancient geometric designs mixed with Buddhist prayers.
They are believed to give the wearer magic powers associated with healing, luck, strength, and protection against evil.

Yantra-Tätowierung :
Als Yantra-Tätowierung, auch sak yant (Thai: สักยันต์) genannt, wird eine sakrale Form der Tätowierung bezeichnet, welche in Südostasien – vor allem in Kambodscha, Laos und Thailand – verbreitet ist. Die Praxis des sak yant erfreut sich seit geraumer Zeit auch unter chinesischen Buddhisten in Singapur wachsender Beliebtheit. Sak kann mit „(Tätowierung) stechen“, yant – abgeleitet von sanskr. yantra – mit „sakrale geometrische Figur“ wiedergegeben werden. Das yantra hat die Aufgabe, (psychische) Kräfte in einem – teilweise komplexen – Muster oder Ornament zu konzentrieren und nutzbar zu machen.

These markings known as "sak yant", are a mix of Buddhist prayers, and shamanistic spells and sorcery that have survived since the pre- Buddhist era.
Since the time of King Naresuan (สมเด็จพระนเรศวรมหาราช), Thai soldiers have sought protection from the power of sak yant and the wearing of amulets. In the Korean, Vietnam and second world wars, Thai soldiers were nicknamed “tahaan pee” (Thai: ทหารผี) or "ghost soldiers" by the allied forces, because of their sak yant tattoos and amulets.
These days many people in dangerous professions such as soldiers and policemen (and gangsters!) continue this tradition. But this florist is proof that those in more sedate work hold these beliefs too!
