Hello,

I'm seriously interested in getting a Thai traditional tattoo called a Sak Yan (ÊÑ¡Âѹµì). I know of an annual festival at a wat near Bkk where one can get it done, but it is only in March of each year, which I missed.

So, the temple I know as Wat Bang Phra(i think) 50kms out of Bkk, can someone come in off the street and ask for one done in exchange for alms?

Does anybody know of any wats, or persons, in the North of Thailand doing this kind of tattooing, not just your average tattoo shop.

Have you had one done?

Are there any good websites about this tye of tattooing?

Yes u can just walk right in any day of the week in the mornings to get it done.
Just need to buy a tray of offerings which include a pack of Krung Thip ciggies,flowers,joss sticks candles.
And do get a envelope from the lady to put ur cash offerings.

Get in early to beat the crowd but there'll be at least 20 young men everyday.
Cheers !
