Sak Yant Designs and Meanings of Traditional Thai Tattoos

Sak Yant Masters undergo years of studying to learn the Kata language and the meaning of the designs. Knowledge is necessary to fully understand the meanings and intricacies of Sak Yant tattoos.

Why is it difficult to find out the Sak Yant Tattoo Meanings of Thai Tattoo Design’s?

An authentic Sak Yant tattoo uses a basic design as a template, which the Sak Yant Master then customizes by altering the chant/spell kata text. Some sites say that it is matched to the individual’s specific wishes and desires. But in reality the chants are related to the design. The chants do not say anything, its sounds, magical sounds, a chant. This chants are authentic to the Sak Yant master and cannot be replicated by a tattoo artist who lacks the ability to read and modify the magical script. To ensure the desired outcome, Authentic, trained masters like ours. Understanding the tattoo’s meaning can be difficult. We will translate as good as we can with the help of our masters.

You should do your home work on the masters before getting a Yant from them, as 80% just copy, and they don’t know what they are copying, which can mean nothing as the original master will not show there chants correct in books or the internet. But obviously they can copy from pictures of Sak Yant done on clients.

Sak Yant Tattoo Meaning

There are lots of designs with attached meanings and we will do the most popular ones on this page. We have other pages which will show many designs and also groups they are in. First we will start with, only Sak Yant Masters can do Yantras, monks are not allowed to do them anymore. Sak means to tap with a stick, hand poke. Yant is a chant, sounds, while the master is chanting he is thinking about what is to be put in the chant. The chant will go around and around as he ads the magic into it. It can take a long time, so they only do this one time. This is white magic. When the master welcomes you, he can do the a offering blessing before you get the tattoo or after the the Sak Yant tattoo is done. First blessing you get is for offerings you present to the Sak Yant master. The next yantra is to activate the design, so they don’t have to spend a long time re doing the design. The third and last blessing is a person blessing from the master to you.

Gao Yord 9 Spires Sak Yant Tattoo Meaning

Gao Yord is normally the first Sak Yant design that is given to a disciple from a Sak Yant master and should be put on the back of the lower neck. It will control all other Yants, like Tigers, Dragon etc, which are powerful, and keep them under control and not let them over run the disciples feelings. This place is for disciple but for the rest of us, it can be placed anywhere above the waist. There is only one rule in Sak Yant tattoo placements. Designs like Buddha, Gods etc, cannot go below the waist. A true master, knows which ones can go below the waist.

9 is an important number in Buddhism. The Buddha symbols are added to the Yant to give it more power.

There is another name for this Yant, Yant Kroo which means master Yant.

Having the Goa Yord allows you to enter the lineage of the past masters that have been there before us and also become a disciple if you wish to do so.

This is regarded as a powerful Sak Yant and will protect you in many ways. The Kata’s or Yants can be a combination of the Khom script inside the squares and only known by the original masters. I was with a master and he told me that in a similar square design but larger, that there is about 320 Yants in combinations and that’s why some Yant are so powerful. This Yant has 9 magical spells

We have talked to our masters and been informed that this Yant has nothing to do with sacred mountings as we believed before, as read on the internet, there is so much that is misleading.

The spires are known as “Unalome” what represent the crown of the Arahants (Enlightened Saints),

Unalome. The circle at the bottom represents the life you live with the many earthly distractions we encounter in our daily lives. As long as you let these things control your life you will go around in circles. It’s the circular bit at the bottom. It could represent anger, lies, deceit, bad feelings, wrong thoughts and influence from people around you. Get rid of these things and you will get on the ever-increasing spiral. The more you do this the better your life will be. Move onto the second part of the symbol above and if you could look down on it from the top, it would look like a coil. This is where you must unravel these bad influences out of your life. The spiral represents the head and spirals around the crown of the scalp until it reaches the top center point of the scalp. The straight line pointing upwards represents the straight path to Enlightenment without any wavering behavior that the Arahants have accomplished.

It is believed the better you get at cutting these negative influences out, you will get to enlightenment much faster, and known as the straight path to Nirvana. It is also believed it will take many life’s and rebirths.

There are lots of many designs of Unalomes.

Getting a Sak Yant Tattoo Design

There are so many designs to choose from and the most popular, because of there meanings and beauty of the designs are Hah Taew 5 lines and Chad Petch diamond net 5 lines, Gao Yord 9 spires, Pead Tidt 8 directions, single and twin Tigers, Unalomes etc. We have done tens of thousands of Sak Yant Designs on people. We have been doings this for many of years. Our masters have done around 80 years in total between them. They are true masters and I will also say, Sak Yant tattoos have to be by Sak Yant Thai tattoo masters, known as Ajarns. Some sites show monks and imply monks do them. But that is not true, Monks would do them in the past, but as Sak Yant masters and still wear there orange outfits. They should have not done that. True Ajarns wear white outfits, not orange or brown. It has been decided that monks cannot do them anymore. They have to be a monk or a Sak Yant master, not both.

So how do you decide which design you want? Well that is a decision you have to do. Do you want the meaning of a design or do you want the beauty and the meaning. If you chose a design and it does not have the meaning you want, you can ask the translator, assistant to ask the Ajarn master to include your wishers in his blessing/chant. When they do the blessing which is a chant of magical sounds, he will add that in it. This is how it done in the first place. A true master can add anything to the design, no mater what it is. He will do a chant to do that. And when he is doing the chant in his mind he will whish that for you.

Sak Yant Designs and Meanings

Only Sak Yant Masters can design a Sak Yant Thai tattoo. Monks did not do Yant’s and blessings. When a monk did a Sak Yant tattoos and blessings, He would do it as a Sak Yant Master, not a monk. They would still wear the orange robe and people would believe monks do it. Monks are not allowed to do them in Thailand. They have been told they have to become a full time Sak Yant master and wear white robes or stay as a monk, not both. Below is some examples of designs that are available.
