What you can expect
If you book this experience, it means you are interested in receiving an authentic Sakyant (Sacred tattoo).
Let's disregard any misinformation you might have come across on the internet about Sakyant. There is a long-standing tradition and history behind Sakyant in this region that spans thousands of years. Sakyant masters prefer to keep the knowledge and techniques secret, as some tattoo shops might attempt to copy it without adhering to the sacred rules that we believe in.
During our experience, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the sacred Sakyant culture and the historical significance behind it. Our team will explain and discuss how Sakyant has evolved to coexist with modern-day practices, as we make our way to our master's place.
We maintain high standards when selecting qualified masters, which include the following criteria:
1. Mastery of ancient languages such as Kmer or Lanna, as Sakyant inscriptions are not in Thai.
2. Artistic proficiency.
3. Strict adherence to hygiene practices, using new needles and ink for each guest.
4. The master should be willing to discuss and design Sakyant tattoos that match the specific needs and questions of our guests.
Finding a master who meets all these qualifications can be challenging.
Currently, we are collaborating with Arjan Fluke for this experience. Please note that the price of the experience does not include the cost of the Sakyant tattoo.
Sakyant tattoos start from 4,000 Baht. Upon arrival, you will have a variety of choices for Sakyant designs, and our host will assist you in finding one that suits you best!
Once you make a booking, we will provide you with the necessary information on how to block our master's schedule.

More about me
I have been working as a professional tour guide for seven years. I published seven hard copied traveling guide books.
I was in Newspaper when I hosted Hollywood star "Brook shields". However I do not like to bring people to touristic areas at all.
I have created many successful tours in Bangkok from a hidden places to visit , food tour , secret of tattoo and transgender woman , and nightlife tour. I love to meet new people and have a god time together. I believe I could learn from people of different background around the world. And that is my passion.
My favorite places in Bangkok are where the local Thai love to go. That would be no tourist at all except you.
