ok problem im looking to get this tattoo. my problem is i live no were near any buddhist and no way of getting to thailand to be blessed for one. so how would i go about getting blessed to recieve this tattoo?

[somboonmuaythai]

@Deoblo61369 if you cant get the real thing then dont worry about it...too many people are getting suk yant from tattoo shops because it looks cool...thats not what these tattoos are about

farang not believe this like us they just do this for Art only

[somboonmuaythai]

@mookza08...alot of farange yes but i am a farange and understand more than most Thais...

@somboonmuaythai well i was told by my teacher that i need to recieve the 9 blessings to be into the temple. but that was back when i was in thailand, i moved but i still need to get it done.

@cjade70 People do get them in Cambodia and it is Khmer culture and was adopted by the Thai because Thailand (Siam) didn't exsiste as a country yet when the kind of Tattooing started. half of Siam Was part of the Angkor empire for about 500 years as well as half of Lao and a quarter of Vietnam.

@soul0luos by the way,,,it takes only a small act of misconduct in the chain of events to possibly cross contaminate,,,so the 'cleanest' looking shop in town does only that,,,look 'clean',,,just what you want to see

[snel908]

@soul0luos then i quess you are the man,,,but after your findings,,,have you found one incident that caused hepatitis from tattooing,,,is it not just like cancer that they can state you have it and only assume where you picked it up (ooooh, so you are a smoker....)and that assumption is the mother of all fuckups?as i mentioned before,,,i believe in the power of the tattoo and if i were to get sick the sickness will find its way into me no matter what as it is meant to be

[soul0luos]

@snel908 Yeah, I had wondered about what cross-contamination prevention measures they practice, and after digging a bit deeper, it wasn't encouraging.

@somboonmuaythai by the way a tattoo machine is not a gun,,, it is not used to shoot people with and i don't think the monk call it a spear either in thailand pretty much for the same reason,,,usually older ways of tattooing have a specific name,,,mai sak for the bamboo and khem sak for the metal but these refer to the points being used
