SAK YANT CEREMONY PROCESSING

Thai Tattoo Café house offers you a full ceremony. To pay respect to the master and Sak Yant culture, you are required to follow the traditional ceremony. You will need to prepare an offering or Parn Kru and follow a step below

PARN KRU - Offering

A Parn Kru – Making a Sak Yant Offering: Different Sak Yant masters will accept different items for their Parn Kru or Offering. Our Sak Yant masters accept Thai rum, cigarettes, fresh flowers, candles, incense, and money.

Yok Pan Kru.

Giving your offering.

This first part of the Sak Yant process shows the master that you are ready to be a disciple and willing to follow the Sak Yant rules that will allow the magic of the Sak Yant to take place. This action also shows respect to the master and the Sak Yant tradition. To give your offering, kneel forward face-to-face with the master. Pass the offering pan to the Sak Yant master while looking down. The master will perform the first blessing.

Rab Karn Sak Yant: Get your Sak Yant tattoo.

Do your best to remain still. Focus on controlling your breathing as if meditating. If you need a break, ask for one.

Seak Kha Tha: Receiving Your blessing.

When the Sak Yant tattoo is finished, you will receive a blessing for the Sak Yant tattoo. The master will cast magic while applying holy oil over your Sak Yant tattoo. And then apply some gold leaves on your tattoo afterward. While you are receiving the blessing, put your hands together in prayer and keep your eyes closed. Stay focused on your master's voice. The history behind the gold leaves is that we believe that gold leaves represent the 5th element of gold in your body. Gold means luck and an abundance of money.

Prom Nammon: sprinkling holy water.

The master sprinkles holy water to remove bad luck. Kneeling in front of the master is a sign of respect. Put your hands together in prayer. Closing your eyes, clearing your mind while keeping your head down.

Krob Kru: Being accepted as a disciple

The last part of the Sak Yant tattoo process that may occur is when the Sak Yant master signifies that he has accepted you as a disciple. This is done by placing a Ruhsi mask on your head. Once this is done, it means that the Sak Yant master will pray for you and protect you. Where you are and who you are, you are considered a part of his family. Along with his other disciples, you are considered their brother or sister.
