A sak yant is a form of tattoo that is very popular in Thailand. Sometimes referred to as a Buddhist tattoo or a yantra tattoo, these tattoos have been made internationally famous by Angelina Jolie and Muay Thai fighters. These Buddhist tattoos regularly contain sacred geometry, animals and deities accompanied by sacred mantras.
The sak yant is a representation of mystical Thai Buddhism, also known as Tantric Theravada, in the form of a tattoo. So to understand sak yants, you must first understand this form of mysticism that connects the body, cosmos and a higher power together.
Locals typically brand these tattoos because they are believed to give protection and good luck. Foreigners on the other hand have fallen in love with the simplistic, symmetrical style of these cool-looking tattoos.
What is a Sak Yant Tattoo?
In Thai “sak” means “tattoo,” while “yant” is the Thai word for yantra (a geometric diagram, or any object, used as an aid to meditation in tantric worship).
A yant is a sacred geometry design incorporating Buddhists psalms and magical formulas that invoke various elements and powers of protection and various blessings.
These Buddhist tattoos regularly contain animals and deities.
Thai Sacred Geometry can be found on decorative cloths, clothing and on people’s skin. A sak yant is the name given to Thai Sacred Geometry in the form of a tattoo.
These tattoos are said to deliver magic to the person receiving them. The designs are made up of imagery, text or a combination of the two. The images reveal a history of influence from Buddhist, Brahman and Animist religions.
