Traditional Hand-Poked Sak Yant (Bamboo Technique)
Traditional Sak Yant tattoos are hand-poked using a metal rod called a Lek Jarn and follow the ancient practices passed down through generations. These tattoos are often chosen for their spiritual significance and magical powers. These tattoos are traditionally accompanied by blessings that give meaning and intention to the design.
