Each Sak Yant is created with care and respect towards the ancient Thai customs.

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.

Modern Machine Sak Yant

Sak Yant tattoos created by machine use the same sacred designs and blessings while offering a modern alternative for those who prefer this technique. This method allows for more precise line work and is often chosen by clients who want a Sak Yant tattoo in a fully modern studio environment.
