What Do Sak Yant Tattoos Mean

Sak Yant tattoos are traditional Thai tattoos that are believed to have protective powers, grant special characteristics, and ward off bad luck. They are usually done in traditional black ink and usually have iconic symbols and sacred texts inscribed on them. The tattoos are believed to give the bearer both physical and mental protection, as well as blessings, fortune, and wisdom. They are often placed on the back in a line running up the spine, which is said to activate the energy of the tattoo and provide further protection. Some people have additional insignia and symbols added to the tattoo to customize it for their own purpose, such as protection from fire, water, or enemies.
