In Bangkok and Chiang Mai, traditional bamboo stick tattoos, known as Sak Yant, are experiencing a surge in popularity among locals and tourists. Unlike modern machines, these tattoos are hand-poked with bamboo rods, giving each design cultural and spiritual significance.
Tattoo masters say the revival reflects a lifestyle shift where body art is no longer just about fashion but also about heritage and protection. Younger Thais are proudly blending ancient rituals with contemporary tattoo styles.
