SAK YANT Magical Tattoo

 

Sak Yant, the Magical Tattoo Art of South East Asia, is part of the culture and the ancient animist cult of the spirits in the region. Now is back being popular among the younger generations. Our work, now a book, explores the contemporary forms of this expression, but seeks also its roots in the remote regions of Burma where the Shan people live.
