Meet Ajarn Dam - Master of Traditional Thai Tattoos and Sacred Blessings
With over 20 years of dedicated practice, Ajarn Dam is considered one of the most senior and respected Sak Yant masters in all of Phuket.
Rooted in the ancient Lanna spiritual lineage of Northern Thailand, he received his foundational training at Wat Doi Khiri in the Mae Suai District under the legendary Master Kru Ba Korn.
His practice centers on the sacred Lanna script, protective incantations, and traditional chants designed for safety, physical defense, and Metta (loving-kindness).
Specializing in iconic yantras such as the Chat Phet (Diamond Armor) and Gao Yord (Nine Spires), Ajarn Dam honors his heritage by exclusively applying each sacred tattoo using the hand-poked method, sealing every session with authentic Lanna blessings to activate the spiritual power within the ink.
Preserving the Authentic Sak Yant Lineage
Why is Sak Yant Lineage Important?
“Freedom of expression comes first at Fighters Ink. We respect anyone’s choice to put whatever art they love on their body, and any artist's right to create it.
But when it comes to Sak Yant, honesty is key. The ancient scripts used in sacred tattooing are mastered by only a handful of practitioners in Thailand.
Regrettably, much of what is inked in commercial shops is gibberish—random characters copied without knowledge of their true reading or blessings.
While wearing a decorative copy isn't wrong, if the artist tells you it carries spiritual benefits is (even if afterwards it’s blessed by a monk) - then he is deceiving you. This is why Sak Yant lineage is so important.”
“In Thai culture, teachers occupy a sacred place in society, honored far above everyday authorities.
Becoming a disciple of a master isn't just about learning a set of technical skills; it is a lifelong commitment to preserving and continuing their legacy long after they stop practicing.
Sak Yant is not created in a vacuum; every blessing ceremony performed is a direct tribute to the teacher who came before, ensuring that ancient knowledge, discipline, and spiritual lineage remain alive.”
