Grand Master Ajarn Noo Kanpai for Sak Yant Thai Tattoos
We have worked closely with Ajarn Noo for over 14 years and were the first to introduce his services online. Throughout this time, we’ve found him to be an exceptional master and one of the most knowledgeable experts in Sak Yant. His work combines traditional dot-line techniques with precise full-line designs, setting a new standard in Thai tattoo artistry.
Among the many masters we know in Bangkok and surrounding areas, Ajarn Noo stands out as a true leader. He was the first to bring high-quality line work to traditional Thai designs, elevating the craft to an entirely new level. For Sak Yant Kata text, he continues to honor tradition by using the classic dot-work style, preserving the authenticity of this sacred art.
Ajarn Noo rose to fame after creating the iconic Sak Yant tattoos on Angelina Jolie’s back. During her trip back to Cambodia after making a film there and adopt a child, Angelina decided to get a traditional Thai Sak Yant tattoo. She asked her tour manager to arrange it, and Ajarn Noo—Thailand’s most renowned Sak Yant master—was flown in for the job. After completing the tattoos, Angelina returned to the U.S. with her adopted child, and the story made global headlines when they see the Hah Taew 5 Lines on her shoulder. However, no one mentioned Ajarn Noo or his incredible artistry.
At that time, I was deeply interested in Sak Yant tattoos and decided to learn more about him. It took me weeks of searching, but eventually, I found him. Meeting Ajarn Noo was a turning point—I fell in love with the art and its spiritual meaning. I built the first website dedicated to promoting him worldwide because, outside Thailand, no one knew who he was. To make the experience even more special, I launched a VIP service, arranging hotel pickups and private visits to his shrine for Sak Yant tattoos. It didn’t take long before Ajarn Noo became internationally famous.

Ajarn Noo Kanpai, a Grand Master of Sak Yant, spent a minimum of 5 to 6 years training in temples such as Wat Bang Phra—the most famous temple for Sak Yant Thai tattoos—to master the intricate designs and spiritual knowledge behind this sacred art. Many people believe that the blessing of a Sak Yant tattoo must be performed by a monk, assuming that Sak Yant and Buddhism are one and the same. In reality, they are two distinct traditions. When a monk performs a Sak Yant, he is not acting in his role as a monk but as a Sak Yant master. Over the centuries, Sak Yant became intertwined with Buddhism, evolving into what we see today. However, traditionally, only Sak Yant masters should perform the blessing and activation of these tattoos. In fact, the Thai government has recently banned monks from performing Sak Yant tattoos.
Ajarn Noo dedicated years to traveling across Thailand, learning from various masters to perfect his craft—and he mastered it exceptionally well.
Angelina Jolie had her first Thai tattoo in 2003. This was a Sak Yant tattoo consisting of five lines of Kata Yant blessings, known as the Hah Taew, inked on her left shoulder blade.
She returned to Cambodia in 2004 for her second major Thai tattoo, a large tiger looking back for protection behind your back.
