Premium Feature - Magic Tattoo Festival in Thailand
A devotee gets a San Yant tattoo by a tattoo master during the annual Magic Tattoo Festival at Wat Bang Phra in Nakhon Pathom province, Thailand, 23 March 2024. The Magic Tattoo Festival, also known as the 'Wai Khru Ceremony' (Wai Khru means 'honour the teacher'), attracts devotees from across the country who travel to Wat Bang Phra monastery to receive their traditional tattoos and pay their respects to the temple's master tattooist during the Magic Tattoo Festival. During the festival, devotees sit facing the main shrine before many, 'possessed' by the spirit of the animal tattooed on their skin, stand up, mimic the animal's behaviour and eventually make their way towards the main shrine, sometimes running at high speed, until they are stopped by a group of helpers and medics who bring them out of the trance by rubbing their ears. Receiving a Sak Yant is highly respected in Thailand, and many believe the tattoos have mystical powers to ward off bad luck and protect people from harm. Matrix Images / Diego Azubel
