We walk you through each yant, its blessing and its placement, so you leave with a piece you understand as well as wear. [START YOUR CUSTOM TATTOO](https://wa.me/66964822054) [BOOK A FREE CONSULTATION](https://fametattookata.com/contactus) ##### SESSION TIME Most yant designs are small to medium pieces finished in one to two hours. Because placement carries traditional significance, we begin every Sak Yant session with an unhurried conversation about which yant fits your intention and where it belongs on the body.   ##### HEALING Traditional bamboo Sak Yant needs almost no aftercare — the hand-tapped technique is gentle on the skin, so there is no wrapping or ointment routine; simply keep it clean and let it breathe, and it settles within a week or two. Machine-done yant linework follows the standard routine: wash gently, moisturise lightly, and keep it out of the Phuket sun and sea for the first fortnight.   ##### STARTING PRICE Every tattoo is different, so we price each piece individually based on its design and size. Share your idea with us, and we’ll give you a clear quote before your session. ## RECENT WORK All photos are real, healed client work from our Kata Beach and Bang Tao studios — tap any piece to view it full size. ![sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/24-1.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=24-1.webp) ![sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/6-4.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=6-4.webp) ![sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/4-Sep-20-2026-07-19-52-2274-AM.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=4-Sep-20-2026-07-19-52-2274-AM.webp) ![sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/23-1.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=23-1.webp) ![sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/10-1.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=10-1.webp) ![five line sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/5-4.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=5-4.webp) ![sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/26-1.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=26-1.webp) ![lotus sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/20-1.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=20-1.webp) ![three line sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/12-1.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=12-1.webp) ![crocodile sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/11-2.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=11-2.webp) ![sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/19-2.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=19-2.webp) ![sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/21-1.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=21-1.webp) ![sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/17-2.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=17-2.webp) ![sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/14-1.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=14-1.webp) ![sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/15-1.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=15-1.webp) ![sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/25-1.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=25-1.webp) ![tiger sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/9-4.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=9-4.webp) ![five line sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/7-3.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=7-3.webp) ![lotus sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/16-2.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=16-2.webp) ![ghana sak yant tattoo by fame tattoo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3-Sep-20-2026-07-19-52-4489-AM.webp?width=1080&height=1350&name=3-Sep-20-2026-07-19-52-4489-AM.webp) ### IS SAK YANT RIGHT FOR YOU? Sak Yant suits travellers who want a tattoo with meaning rooted in Thai culture rather than pure decoration. The most requested designs — Hah Taew (five lines), Gao Yord (nine peaks) and the tiger yant — each carry a specific traditional blessing. We also cover this style in our tattoo guide and answer the most common questions below. #### BOTH STUDIOS OFFER THIS STYLE - [Kata Beach studio](https://fametattookata.com/locations/kata-beach) — walk-ins from 11:00, open until 22:00 daily. - [Bang Tao Beach studio](https://fametattookata.com/locations/bangtao-beach) — quiet studio on Soi Ao Bang Thao 4, open 11:00–22:00 daily. Not sure which studio suits your trip? Send us your hotel area on WhatsApp, and we'll point you to the nearest one. ##### SAK YANT TATTOO **— COMMON QUESTIONS** DO I NEED TO BE BUDDHIST TO GET A SAK YANT TATTOO? No. Visitors of every background receive Sak Yant respectfully. What matters is understanding what the design means and treating it with the respect it carries — which is exactly what we explain before any work begins. WHICH SAK YANT DESIGN SHOULD I CHOOSE? It depends on the blessing you are drawn to: Hah Taew for general protection and fortune, Gao Yord for authority and safety, tiger yants for strength. Our traditional artist will walk you through the meanings and help you choose. ARE THERE RULES AFTER GETTING A TATTOO? Traditionally each yant carries guidelines for conduct. We explain them honestly during your consultation so you can decide with full context rather than discovering them afterwards. DOES A SAK YANT BAMBOO TATTOO REQUIRE AFTERCARE? A Sak Yant bamboo tattoo requires minimal aftercare. Simply keep the area clean, avoid scratching or picking it, and stay out of pools, the sea, and direct sunlight until the skin has healed. WHAT LANGUAGES DO YOU SPEAK? English, Thai, French, Italian and Spanish. ###### EXPLORE OTHER STYLES [REALISM](https://fametattookata.com/portfolio/realism-tattoo-phuket) [FINE LINE](https://fametattookata.com/portfolio/fine-line-tattoo-phuket) [COVER-UP](https://fametattookata.com/portfolio/cover-up-tattoo-phuket) [JAPANESE](https://fametattookata.com/portfolio/japanese-tattoo-phuket) [MANDALA & GEOMETRIC](https://fametattookata.com/portfolio/mandala-geometric-tattoo-phuket) [![fametattoologo](https://fametattookata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Fame%20Logoo-1.webp?width=100&height=24&name=Fame%20Logoo-1.webp "fametattoologo")](https://fametattookata.com) Have a tattoo idea in mind?
