The music makes me think back to the good and prosper time of the Mighty Khmer Empire. We have to rebuild the lost status that our ancesters enjoyed for centuries. Long live the Khmer Empire!

[angelchouk]

@rothima yes, rothima-- there is no rules against it per se. It was just that (I think) most Khmer women do not prefer to have it. I have it for a few years now, as a Khmer woman.

Khmer tattoo are used in wars and culturally for Khmer people. Khmer Women in the pre-Angkor time were permitted to had cultural mark (tattoo), the word tattoos are just dicaration of arts, but Sak is a believe of powers. you guy are just misunderstanding about the khmer sak youn
