Sak yant is a tradition of Thailand Buddhism, also know as spiritual magic tattoos. Yants are mantras that are formed by LPs many many years ago which are known to provide protection against bodily harm, sickness, metta, wealth, preventing charms against you and many more. Different yants serves a different purpose and different people sak for different reasons as well. The are many forms of yants that can be widely seen, like Phayants, yants that are drawn on cloths and blessed by monks to be hung at home or cars to provide blessings and protection, etc, Yants drawn by hands with a white substance on people's doors, cars or even items belonging to the believer. Another very commonly seen Yant would be Takruts, which are pieces of metal sheets, like copper, silver or gold and inscribed on it with sharp objects like needles. Its then rolled into a stick to be carried around as a keychain, hung in the pocket or worn around the waist. Sak yant is just another form of wearing a yant with you, but having it permanently on your skin. Yants are not only mantras, some are Himapants, which are animals like Suea (Tigers), Hanuman (Monkey), Ling Long (Little Monkeys), Garuda (Bird), Salika(Bird), Ganesha (Elephant God) and Devas, etc. Each different animal will have its different purposes.
