The Bamboo Tattoo - Ayutthaya Thailand

A mixed media piece with photos and video. Journey to the grandson of Lompho Nai, a powerful medicine monk in Ayutthaya, Thailand, who is well known for his healing powers all over Thailand. The tattoo artists use long, thin bamboo needles. Each tattoo is an image for a power or a blessing. Each receiver of the tattoos is blessed... A UNESCO World Heritage Site

follow your heart...if the time is right for you and your client...you are a professional...there is great respect for art... Check out the other sakyant tattoo videos on my channet also: earthmagictours

Sakyant is a very special ceremony here that connects the recipient with the magic of the monk who developed the art. It is a very amazing journey...

Thanks for watching...
