Enter For FreeMy most recent Sak Yant is the Twin Tigers, inked by Arjan Neng at Thai Sak Yant in Bangkok, a disciple of the revered Luang Por Pern. This sacred design symbolizes strength and protection. As a Buddhist, it reflects my spiritual journey—one of resilience, compassion, and inner power. More than ink, it's a guardian of my path and a reminder of the sacred connection between body, mind, and spirit.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?As a Buddhist and survivor of clergy sex abuse, my sak yants are more than ink — they are living symbols of strength, healing, and the unbreakable faith I’ve forged through unimaginable pain. This journey is my testament to resilience and spiritual rebirth.
What would you do with the $25,000?I’d give back to the temples and communities that have given me so much in my second home, Thailand, and continue my deeply personal sak yant journey with the beloved Arjan Neng.
