Sketched Skin, Sak Yants

Sketched Skin, Sak Yants

I’ve come across this video by Ryan Jones on the Tiger Muay Thai Youtube channel that may be of interest to people in the Muay Thai community, especially here in Phuket. In the video Ryan interviews Khru Oh, a good friend of mine who lives on the street that is home to Tiger Muay Thai, Phuket Dragon Muay Thai and Phuket Top Team. Khru Oh is Tiger Muay Thai’s Muay Boran and Krabi Krabong instructor as well as one of the many local tattoo artists who provide needle tattoos, bamboo tattoos and protection tattoos. The video is both informational and educational about the Sak Yant tattoos and where to get them if your training at one of the three gyms on the road.


 

Born in Australia, training in martial arts since the age of 9. My first trip to Thailand was back in 2007. Since then i have made numerous visits back to the "land of smiles" to feed my addiction of Muay Thai. During the month of November in 2010 i had to decide between working a 9 to 5 job back home for the rest of my life, or sell all my worldly possessions and move to Thailand to live and train for the next few years. Thankfully i chose the latter. I now spend my time training Muay Thai, meeting new and interesting circles of people, sipping coconuts under palm trees on the beach and measuring the cost of everything on how much Pad Thai i could buy with that money.

    Khru Oh is a true gentleman, such a nice guy. I myself have had a traditional bamboo tattoo done by Oh I would highly recommend it! No concerns whatsoever over hygiene or anything like that.
