Tattooed by Buddhist Monk at Temple west of Bangkok. Supposedly these pieces are magical and protect the owner if they follow certain rules. Soldiers in the Thai army wear them claiming it makes them bulletproof. I was only one of two english speaking people there. Inking is VERY painful and sends a huge wave of endorphins rushing thru ones body. Ink is made of cigarette ash and snake venom. Amazing experience! Taxi ride cost more than tattoo.
