Yantra tattooing or Sak Yant is a form of tattooing using Indian yantra designs.
It consists of sacred geometrical, animal and deity designs accompanied
by Pali phrases that are said to offer power, protection, fortune, charisma
and other benefits for the bearer.
- Yantra tattoos are believed to be magic and bestow mystical powers, protection,
or good luck.There are three main effects of a yantra tattoo. One is that which benefits the wearer, such as making them more eloquent. Another is that of protection and
to ward off evil and hardship. This is commonly used by military personnel, police,
taxi drivers, gangsters and others in perceived dangerous professions. Another type is that which affects people around the wearer, such as invoking fear. The tattoo only confers its powers so long as the bearer observes certain rules and taboos, such as abstaining from a certain type of food.
- Sak yan designs are also applied to many other media, such as cloth or metal,
and placed in one's house, place of worship, or vehicle as a means of protection
[citation needed] from danger or illness, to increase wealth, and to attract lovers.
In recent years Hollywood celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, whose tattoos were inked by Ajahn Noo Ganpai with Khmer script Sak yant in Thailand, have made them popular among women. Angelina Jolie got a yantra tattoo of a Bengal tiger in 2004 to celebrate acquiring Cambodian citizenship.
However a modern movement in Thailand seeks to progress away from their animistic past. As part of this movement, many modern-day Thais view yantra tattoos as nothing more than good-luck symbols that are stylish.
