" Here in Thailand, tattoos are considered by many to have powerful powers. Tattoos are said to deflect bullets, to blunt blades, to prevent road accidents, to improve business fortunes, and to prevent bad luck in general. The monks at Wat Bang Phro near Bangkok are reputed to be among the best tattooists in Asia. The tattoos, inscribed by the Buddhist monks at Wat Bang Phro, are defensive in purpose since they are supposed to protect the wearer from any harm. Whether a tattoo is effective depends upon the wearer's devotion to it. The wearer must pray to it and follow the basic precepts of Buddhism." - Tewfic El-Sawy, http://www.telsawy.com/ |
