RE: Bangkok Day 3: Buddhist Thai Sak Yant Tattoos by Ajarn Neng
That's a long history and deep meaning connected to it. I love tattoos, but I am not sure I am gonna get one anytime soon (or ever). I doubt I will wanna see a particular design on my skin for a really long time.
It must have been extremely painful! Now, I am not sure of all the blessings and protections that comes with the tattoo, but I am sure of one thing; that it looks beautiful and I might want to get a design like that...
It was pretty painful, especially on the inside of my arm where it's really sensitive. I really wanted it there because that way I can see it and be reminded of the blessings. It also kind of balances out my other arm which reads "From Sorrow to Serenity" (long story behind that one but is an expression that explains an important turning point in my life). :)
Your tattoos sure do have deep meanings.
The pain is gone now (right?), and all you will see is the beauty of it, and feel the blessings as well.
