Magic Tattoo in Thailand | TATTOO DESIGN
In ancient Thailand (Siam), it was custom for the Muay Thai fighters, soldiers and warriors to be tattooed with magical symbols, geometric patterns, wards and charms in order to protect their bodies from injury while at war or in a battle. This tradition inspired the development of many Sak Yant designs meant to aid in protecting the warriors from swords, guns, knives and in hand-to-hand combat. Muay Thai warriors believed that by covering their bodies with the Sak Yant tattooes, it would make their skin, muscles and joints invulnerable to attacks while providing spiritual protection. Thailand shares a long border with Cambodia, whose people are also highly superstitious and also believe in many forms of spirits, ghosts, wards, charms, and Shaman magic. In Thailand the Shamen are called Madoo, or Witch Doctors in other cultures.
Sak Yant tattoos involve the use of magic Yantras, scripts, geometric designs and the sacred ancient alphabet. The Cambodian Shawmen were the first to write the sacred alphabet, called “Khom Angkara.” It has been a part of their culture for nearly 1000 years. As the beliefs of the Thai people changed over the centuries, so did the design of the Sak Yant. The Thai people believe the tattoo must be done by a Buddhist monk, though many also believe the protection comes from one’s devotion to spiritualism and belief in the magic as opposed to just the artist. Today in Thailand, you can get Sak Yant tattoos almost everywhere.
Sak Yant tattoos are not just worn by Muay Thai fighters or warriors. Many of the Thai and Cambodian people believe in the power and purpose of the tattoos, and they are worn by everyone from doctors and lawyers to government officials and college students. The Buddhist belief system and faith in these spiritual tattoos is still popular today.
Muay Thai tattoo artists use the ancient technique of tattooing with a small bamboo rod that taps the ink into the skin. This ancient style of tattooing has existed in Thailand for hundreds of years. Using this method, a master artist has tattooed countless guests at the camp using a variety of styles and patterns. A popular choice is a full back design which can take many hours to complete.

Magic Wand Home Tattoo Removal System
Do you have a tattoo of a former lover or perhaps you're just not as big of a fan of Iron Maiden as you were in 1987? If you have ever wanted to get a tattoo removed, but just can't afford the expensive laser surgery, we have the answer for you. GreatInventions.TV is excited to announce Magic Wand, the first affordable Home Tattoo Removal System.
Magic Wand is amazing because it is affordable and easy enough for anyone to use.
The secret to the Magic Wand is a patented heating element designed just for tattoo removal. When used with our ink removing Magic Wand Cream, Heat Dissipating Paper, Special Gauze and Bandages, the Magic Wand will remove an average tattoo in as few as 4 weeks (once the scab heals).
It's so simple! Here's how it works. Take a piece of Magic Wand wax paper and place it over the tattoo. Then apply the Magic Wand's heating element against the paper with moderate pressure. This process can be a bit painful, so a rubber dowel is included in the packaging allowing you to bite during the process. After applying the Magic Wand to the tattoo for a quick five minutes (do not release under any circumstances), then remove the Magic Wand and wax paper. Do not rinse with cold water, but rather immediately spread the Magic Wand Cream on the area that previously contained the tattoo, followed by the Magic Wand Wrap (bandages).
The body's own healing process then acts as the next step in our tattoo removal system. After 30 days, most scabbing will have subsided and you will now be free of that old tattoo. Note: you will need to apply new bandages every 30 minutes for the first 24 hours.
The Magic Wand Home Tattoo Removal System is sold exclusively by GreatInventions.TV for the unbelievable price of $59.99
Package includes:
- Magic Wand Heating Element
- 12 ounce jar of Magic Wand Cream
- Box of Heat Dissipating Paper
- Three foot roll of Magic Wand Wrap
- Magic Wand Biting Dowel
- Keep out of the reach of children
- Never use Magic Wand if you are pregnant or intend on becoming pregnant
- Magic Wand should not be used on children under the age of five
- Side effects include: loss of appetitite, 2nd degree burns, decreased sensation
- A small percentage of test subjects (squirrels) experienced complete loss of libido, severe psoriasis, halitosis and alopecia
- The Magic Wand should not be used to remove tattoos in the groin region
