SAK YANT, MAGICAL TATTOO

The Sacred Ink Tradition of Thailand and Myanmar

More than a photobook — an immersive journey into the spiritual and mystical world of sacred tattoos.

From remote temples in Thailand to the Burmese borderlands, this book captures the deep symbolism and ancient rituals of sak yant, the magical tattoos believed to offer protection, strength, and spiritual power.

With text by Massimo Morello, it’s a compelling look at the masters and monks who perform these rites, and the devotees who receive them — culminating in the annual ceremony at Wat Bang Phra, where the tattoos are said to “come to life.”

Stunning photography documents the intricate designs, sacred scripts, and intense moments of trance, transformation, and belief.

A must-have for lovers of Southeast Asian culture, spirituality, body art, and anthropological storytelling.

Now available in print on Amazon and all major online bookstores.
