1. Thai Traditional Buddhist
tattoo for luck, wealth & blessing
The mantras used for this tattoo
are usually from the Hinayana Buddhist sutra ('Xiao Sheng Fo Jiao Jing Wen'), which is sometimes
referred to as the Buddhist text of the 'Early
Buddhist Schools', and other traditional Thai
Buddhist scriptures.
As for the yantras outlining the
tattoo (usually geometrical diagrams, and the images
in the tattoo, these are usually based on the images
of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, the Lotus, the 'Buddhist
Heart' and other sacred symbols of the Thai Buddhist
faith.
This tattoo is mainly used by
believers to attract good luck, wealth, prosperity,
blessings, and to avoid harm and evil spirits.
There are 108 different sutras
that can be used with this tattoo, making this a
tattoo that can suit most people's birth-dates and
needs as there can be many different combinations of
sutra, mantra, yantra and image.
2.Thai Hindu Sanskrit tattoo
for luck, wealth & blessing
This tattoo is based on the Gods
& Deities of the ancient Hindu Sanskrit faith ('Da
Fan Tian' deities), like the Four-Faced Buddha,
Hanuman (the Holy Monkey God), Phya Pikanet (the
Holy Elephant God), Phya Khrut (Garuda, or the Holy
Eagle), Phya Ra Hu (the Heavenly Dog Deity), Phya Ru
Shi (the Thai Dharma King), Phya Lang Gua (the Thai
Female Wealth Deity) etc.
This type of tattoo is one of the
best tests of the skills prowess and knowledge of
the Thai Buddhist tattoo master. This is a difficult
tattoo, because only the tattoo done by a true
Master will be able to look fearsome and majestic.
Immediately, with one glance, the tattoo will
instill the looker with awe and respect for the
God/Deity whose image the tattoo is based on.
That is why this tattoo is very
'powerful'. By relying on the fear of incurring the
wrath of the Gods, bad luck and evil spirits will
leave the tattooed person alone. The tattoo will
humble anyone who looks at it. If a person will an
evil heart looks at it, even though he is human and
not an evil spirit, even he will cower from the
tattoo and not dare try any mischief.
On the contrary, if the tattooist
is inexperienced or lacks skill, the image can turn
out looking like a 'cartoon', and how can any
'cartoon-ish' image frighten away evil spirits? A
poorly done tattoo will not be able to protect its
bearer. This tattoo must vividly depict the
God/Deity to overpower negative forces and bless the
tattoo bearer.
If done by a true Master, this
tattoo will turn out to be a masterpiece, a piece of
art for admiration. Plus its ability to also attract
good fortune, this tattoo is always in high-demand,
and is especially popular with the younger
generation.
3. Thai Lucky Holy Icons
tattoo for luck, wealth & blessing
The main skeleton of this tattoo
is usually 1 of the various Holy icons of Thailand.
E.g. the Dragon, Phoenix, Lion, Tiger, Leopard,
Snake, Tortoise, Toad, Lizard etc. The animals are
revered in Thailand because they are believed to be
able to bring good fortune to mankind and are thus
not only Holy icons but also regarded as 'Lucky'
icons.
So as with all the other tattoos,
the Master will use a 1-meter long pole with its tip
shaved into a sharp point spike to hand-prick the
tattoo for you.
For this tattoo, the Master will
first hand-prick 1 of these icons as the base of the
tattoo, and then chanting the sutras, continue to
hand-prick mantras and yantras around it,
surrounding the whole icon. This whole process, and
the final completed tattoo, both serve to enhance a
person's 'luck' and bring him wealth and success.
