lucidly:

There are many traditional types and designs of yantra tattoos, but some of the most well-known and popular include:

• Ongk Pra (translation: Buddha’s body) - one of the most commonly used elements in yantra tattooing but can also be a more complex standalone design. Meant to provide insight, guidance, illumination, etc.
• Haa Taew (Thai: translation: five rows) - one of the most common yantra designs for women in Thailand but also used for men. Typically tattooed on the back left shoulder. Each of the five lines relates to a different blessing for success and good luck.
• Gow Yord (Thai:translation: nine spires) - typically tattooed on the center top of the back in various sizes and levels of complexity. Simple version pictured at the top of this article.
• See Yord (Thai:translation: four spires) - to influence the feelings or actions of others and protect the bearer.
• Paed Tidt (translation: eight points) - represents protection in the eight directions of the universe. Round shape; typically tattooed on the center of the back. Pictured in gallery below.
• Sip Tidt (translation: ten points) - a version of Paed Tidt but protects in ten directions instead of eight.
• Mahaniyom (translation: great preference) - to grant the bearer favor in the eyes of others. Round shape; typically placed on the back right shoulder.
• Yord Mongkut (translation: spired crown) - for good fortune and protection in battle. Round shape; typically tattooed on the top of the head.
• Bpanjamukhee (translation: five Deva faces) - intended to ward off illness and danger.
• Sua (Thai: translation: tiger) - typically depicts twin tigers. Represents power and authority.

Can’t wait to go back to Thailand and start on a collection of these.

Evan Allen, join me homie.

Dustin, I go back to Thailand in JUNE. I plan on trying to get one when I’m there. This is incredible.
