In 2019, while travelling through Thailand, I had the opportunity to receive a traditional Sak Yant tattoo and thought it would be cool to share here now that I’m a tattoo artist myself!

A little about Sak Yant tattoos:

Sak Yant is much more than a tattoo style. The word sak means “to tattoo” and yant refers to a sacred yantra, aka a geometric design traditionally believed to carry spiritual protection, blessings, and specific intentions. They have roots in Buddhist, Hindu/Brahmanic and animist traditions, and have been used throughout Southeast Asia for centuries.

Mine was done by Ajarn Daeng, at Sak Yant Chiang Mai | Real Bamboo Tattoo , a master of the Sak Yant tradition, using the traditional hand-poked technique rather than a tattoo machine. The experience was completely different from any tattoo I had received before… the setting, the ritual, the chanting, and the intention behind the tattoo all felt like an important part of the process.

One thing I find especially interesting now that I’m a tattoo artist myself is how much the meaning and ritual are considered part of the tattoo itself. A Sak Yant isn’t simply a design chosen because it looks cool. Different yants carry different meanings, and traditionally the recipient may also receive teachings or precepts connected to their particular tattoo.

Looking back almost 7 years later, I’m really grateful I got to experience tattooing from the other side of the needle and in a tradition so different and spiritually charged from the kind of tattooing I practice every day.

It definitely gave me a much deeper appreciation for how tattoos can be art, identity, ritual and spirituality all at once. 🪷

Have you ever experienced a traditional tattooing practice from another culture?

If you guys know me you know I don’t do a ton of full colour tattoos, so when a friend came to me with this idea of TWO coloured Care Bears for their mom and them… I was a little nervous to be honest, but I think these Wish Bears turned out so stinkin cute at the end of the day and I’m proud of them! Thanks Lachlan and Mama Lachlan for so much trust , the challenge, and the always lovely catch ups! 💖🧸

I have been so busy all summer, sorry guys! I have so much work to post and messages to get back to, if you haven’t heard back from me please fill out my booking form in my bio! 🫶🏼

🎪💖 VERMILILION FAIR WALK-INS ARE BACK BABYYYYY!! 💖🎪

It’s officially my favourite weekend of chaos!! 🫡
Come make some cute (questionable?) financial decisions with me this fair! 🤣💅🏼

🎟️ JULY 23–25 | 12–6 PM
💗 $95 select mini flash tattoos
💗 $80 singular piercings
💗 Bigger flash at my regular $130/hr
🎠 5008 50 Ave, Vermilion

✨THERE IS LOTSSSS OF $95 FLASH TO CHOOSE FROM!!✨
The designs in the pictures are just the new ones! 💕
You can find more designs in my Instagram Flash Highlights, and I have a big ol flash book at the studio full of options too!

⭐️FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED! ⭐️
No appointments or holds. Fair walk-ins are usually CRAZY busy, so I’m trying something a little different this year to keep things running smoothly 🫶🏻

🚨 PLEASE READ BEFORE COMING!! 🚨

✨ DO NOT ARRIVE BEFORE 12 PM. I love your enthusiasm but you will be sent away until noon lol.

✨ There will be a sign-up sheet WITH time slots this year! Each person needs to sign themselves up, or you can choose a time block together if you’re coming as a group.

✨ Please be ready for your time! If you are more than 10 minutes late, I’ll message the next person to come in. There are no holds.

✨ Please keep the hallway noise down! My studio is inside a shared building and my neighbours did not sign up for the fair walk-in circus 😂💗

✨ The studio is small and cute, so please keep groups to 5 people or fewer. There is a little waiting room, but seating is limited!

✨ No children in the studio or waiting room UNLESS they are the one being pierced. We love the kiddos, but a working tattoo studio isn’t a safe environment for children—especially during the busiest days of the year when I’m trying to focus on making permanent decisions on your bodies 😭💕

🚫 ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ALCOHOL OR DRUGS. I know it’s fair weekend and we’re all having fun, but I legally cannot—and absolutely will not—tattoo or pierce anyone I suspect is under the influence. Get your tattoo/piercing first, THEN go get silly 🫡🎪

I am SOOOO excited to see everyone and survive another year of fair madness with you guys!!! 🎠🎪💖✨

SEND THIS TO YOUR BESTIES SO EVERYONE KNOWS!! 💌✨

See you sooooon, clowns 🤡💕🎪✨

✨ Pretty golden rook from the other day! ✨

Friendly summer reminder for all my piercing clients: if you have fresh piercings, avoid swimming while they’re healing whenever possible. Lakes, pools, and hot tubs can all increase the risk of irritation or infection. If you absolutely have to get in the water, make sure to protect your piercing with a waterproof bandage and clean it well afterward.

Take advantage of this rainy weather to get those piercings done so you’re further along in the healing process before lake season! 🌧️✨
