For nearly two decades, Arjan Neng has been giving Sak Yant tattoos to his disciples. Moreover, he has gracefully extended his sacred art to disciples worldwide, affirming the sanctity and virtues of his craft. Currently, a number of disciples, both Thai and international, travels to Bangkok to receive Sak Yant tattoos and blessings from Arjan Neng.

Although not a monk, Arjan Neng is widely recognized as an outstanding master in Bangkok, passionately preserving the cultural heritage of traditional Sak Yant tattoos. His method involves meticulous hand-inscribed tattoos, extraordinarily profound concentration, and thorough assurance that each experience will be more than just memorability, becoming a key to positive life changes.

Arjan Neng, starting as an apprentice in his youth for six to seven years, has now spent over two decades as a revered master. He firmly believes in the significance of adhering to the traditional practices of Sak Yant, considering it a crucial aspect of his journey.

Arjan Neng, not merely a monk but a seasoned master in the study of Sak Yant, underscores the importance of this ancient art in guiding individuals towards a life rooted in spirituality and moral virtue.

In addition to his traditional approach, Arjan Neng also employs an all-round incantation, viewing the Sak Yant tattoo as a reminder for recipients to lead a virtuous life.

Revered as sacred locations for meditation, these locations blended geometric forms with mystical imagery, serving as a canvas for soulful inscriptions and invocations of potent enchantments.

Studying Sak Yant tattoos is a journey into an ancient and profoundly sacred tradition. It involves not just the intricate artistry of tattoos, featuring nearly 1,000 different graphemes and images, but also the meticulous process of using long and sharply pointed metal rods (Khem Sak – Sak Needles). The teachings encompass the ancient Pali language, Khom, and Khmer scriptures, passed down by Sak Yant masters, alongside potent spells, incantations, and sacred rituals that are diffused into the experience.

The process is far more than the complexity of the artwork; it encapsulates a comprehensive learning experience. Disciples delve into the intricacies of the ancient scripts, and the sacred verses and mantras delivered through auspicious ceremonies. The term ‘Arjan,’ often associated with Sak Yant masters, doesn’t necessarily imply a monk; instead, it signifies a revered master who upholds the ancient traditions of Sak Yant tattoo.

This sacred art predates the arrival of Buddhism in Thailand, explaining why the practices of Sak Yant aren’t confined to temple settings. Contrary to popular belief, Sak Yant masters, like Arjan Neng, aren’t exclusively located within temples. The diversity in Sak Yant rituals worldwide reflects the rich tapestry of this ancient tradition, transcending cultural boundaries and religious affiliations.
