Thai Tattoo Designs and Meanings

Sak Yant tattoos are traditional tattoos originating from Thailand and are deeply rooted in Thai culture and spirituality. These tattoos are often believed to offer protection, luck, and various other benefits to the wearer. There are numerous Sak Yant designs, each with its own unique meaning and symbolism. Here are some common Sak Yant designs.

These are just a few examples of Sak Yant designs, and there are many more with their own unique meanings and significance. It’s important to note that getting a Sak Yant tattoo should be done with respect for the tradition and its cultural significance. It’s also advisable to seek out a skilled and reputable Sak Yant practitioner for the tattooing process.

Images include a number of very old designs and we will repair them over time. The Ajarn Masters just use them for outline and then they do free hand and their own Yants. At this temple they are true masters and make the tattoo better than the design drawings.

Gao Yord 9 Spires Sak Yant Tattoo Meaning

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, and 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). 

Sak Yant Tattoo, “Yant Kru”, or “Master Yant”, it is generally tattooed on the back of the neck in order to control the other Yants placed below.

Nine, is a sacred number in Buddhism, and anything related to this number will bring you good luck, the nine spires represent the 9 levels of the sky and are meant to lead the tattoo to Nirvana, enlightenment.

The set of three ovals represents Buddha and is added to the Yant to give it more power. The body of the Yant is usually made of a patchwork of small squares, each of them containing an abbreviation of a magic spell.

This Yant will bring protection against dangers, great power, authority over others, success, increased attractiveness, and good fortune.
