Sak Yant means a yantra or prayer tattooed on the skin. Generally, the wearer uses them as a form of protection, a prayer, or a charm. This tradition originated not among monks but in hermit culture. Today, however, monks and Arjans (Sak Yant masters who are not presently monks) give these wearable protections. I received my Sak Yant in late April 2019 in Bangkok, Thailand and the following is my personal experience.
