Tips for getting Bamboo tattoo in Thailand
What is Bamboo Tattoo ?
Bamboo tattoo is a form of tattoos that are done with the traditional hand-poking method using a steel needle. This is the same technique that Thai monks or tattoo master used to perform Sak Yant. However, Bamboo tattoo and Sak Yant are different because Sak Yant are not just a design to decorate your body. You can not get a genuine Sak Yants from a normal tattoo studio and need to follow a set of rules after getting one. On the other hand, Bamboo tattoo can be done for mainstream and modern tattoo designs.
