Get a Real Bamboo Tattoo in Phuket Thailand - Not Meaningless Fakes
Phuket Tattoo Shops cannot do real Sak Yants - Even if they call them Traditional Thai Bamboo Tattoo
Phuket Tattoo Shops and Artists are highly skilled at making Bamboo Tattoos but really seem to lack the ethics tourists expect. They cannot create a Real and Authentic Spiritual Sak Yant Tattoo; but will advertise that they can. Phuket Tattoo parlor Artists cannot read or change the magical script and copy gibberish nonsense that cannot be blessed by a Monk. Do NOT get a Sak Yant Tattoo from a Tattoo Parlor in Phuket
Sadly, there are no Temples in Phuket who have Monks trained in Sak Yants or the specialized Sak Yant Blessings. Luckily there are a few real and Authentic Sak Yant Masters in Phuket, Thailand.
You should however NEVER get a Sak Yant from a Tattoo Shop in Phuket. Not only are they fakes with no spiritual value, which will cause significant embarrassment – they usually cost several times more than the real thing as an additional insult to nativity of Tourists
Tattoo Artists will not only tattoo onto your body a permanent reminder of your disrespect to Thai Culture. They will also (on request) make the tattoo smaller than it should be with the handpoke method. They know you probably won’t be returning, so they have no ethical issues with creating a tattoo that will bleed over time and look horrible.
Real Sak Yant Masters know that many of their customers will return for additional Sak Yants over the years and ensure they will create artwork that will continue to look beautiful for decades.
1) Best Place to get a Sak Yant Tattoo in Phuket? Sak Yant Master Ajarns
What is a Sak Yant Ajarn?
Unlike Bangkok or Chiang Mai, there are no Sak Yant Monks in Phuket. The alternative to getting your Sak Yant Tattoo in Phuket is with a Sak Yant Arjan. Ajarns (also called a Sak Yant Master).
Ajarns are former Monk’s who have decided to follow the Magical Arts as a career choice after leaving the Temple and life as a Monk. Sak Yant Arjans create their own Samnaks (Blessed and Holy rooms for Magical work), tend to have greater tattoo skills than Sak Yant Monks.
Sak Yant Masters in Phuket are no longer supported by the Temple and have higher living costs, so prices will generally be high in Phuket for a Traditional Thai Tattoo than other locations around Thailand with Sak Yant Temples.
However the Ajarn will often either speak English or have staff that do, and can talk with the customer and get their views on which Sak Yant Tattoo they would like or think best for them.
The second advantage of visiting an a Sak Yant Master Ajarn is the standards of hygiene are similar to those of any professional tattoo studio. The Ajarn will use a new steel tip for each session and change the ink for each person.
