Description

My tattoo, which is an example of the sacred Thai protection tattoo's. This art can be found as well in Cambodia and Laos. Maybe some of you already saw the documentary on NatGeo about this art? If not, it is worth looking it up! The tattoo has been made by a shaman named Popo Luci, outside of Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Which was more important the look, or the intent of the tattoo? And if it's the latter, do you think it has more potency because it was done by the shaman. 

Still, it's interesting. And that is always good.
