BELIEF OVER BEAUTY

THE POWER OF SAK YANT AND AJARNS, THE BODY AS A SANCTUARY. Nowadays, the tattoo is a very fashionable art, but the origins of tattooing go back thousands of years for cultural or religious reasons around the world.  It’s a question of belief and faith. In Thailand it’s called Sak Yan. Sak Yan is the Thai traditional hand tattoo but it’s above all an art where belief passes over beauty and aesthetics, which bring the whole spiritual dimension. Creating a strong link between the master and their disciples and where the power of magic takes place.
