Hey vasi
in the last two vanishing flame reports we covered invulnerability and part of it was the use and belief in tattoos. Did you get those?They might add a few insights. The cambodian writing and tattoos were considered ancient sacred knowledge and carried into thailand but thailand also has some unique variations in the north as well as some in Pali and Burmese. Its a very interesting topic and many of the tattoos have deep significance to the people who get them. They are popular now like everything in thailand so many just go for the decoration and the look but is much deeper than that.
