good stuff kev,get your figher up.

Stu.... Nice tat but don't you think you should've gone bigger!!!!???

:-)

just a wee bit bigger i would say,lmao

What does it say?

Something like "Scottish Fighter" I think.

hmmmm, since its on the shorts dub.. im willing to guess. does it read "siam dornadair"

its nice but youre fooked if you change hobbies

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to say "Scottish Fighter".

It could be "Scotty Fighter". It's dificult to exactly translate some English sounds into Thai.

I definately can't see Siam in there anywhere.

The sleeve is almost done i'll put up how it is now, but i had a 4hour sitting so i'll let it heel first.

The writing on the top is sweet Dub looks the part

scottish fighter it says your right bkk gyk,unlucky sean good guess.

hi
stewart i think thats the best tatoo i have seen (ive been in the army and prison!!) its brilliant mate, i love it!!
i had this "BEAUTY" ha ha !! done when i was sponsering a camp in north thailand!!!!
we were not gambling but we always donated money to a local temple when we held shows or had fighters in big matches etc
one day the local monk decided i had earned the right to have this tatoo done............ by hand n bamboo method..... in his remote hermit cave!!!!
i know it dont look great and it hurt like hell.... not the tattoo but they kneeling on a stone floor for hours praying!!!!!
i was told it will prevent me from illness n injury providing i dont eat beef (it gets worse) any way i have never had an injury since.... who knows.
thats my story anyway
its suppose to depict the buddhist 9 fold path.
cheers

cheers mate,your tattoo is class,its not just a tatoo,its got a story and a meaning to it,a dont think a could sit through the bamboo method on a chair never mind ma knees,lol

i had a bamboo tat done ..shit it lasted 18 hours. will post once i know how to.
the traditional buddhist tattoos are great, with a lot of meaning.

that one is amazing

I got this bamboo tattoo while in Thailand.
Five and a half hours...Ouch!

It's not perfectly straight and some parts are a bit darker than others etc but I love it.

thats what gives it character Dougie!

Do the bamboo tattoo's have a more "embossed" appeal to them?
They seem to be more raised up than the normal tattoo's.

Thai Garuda and Naga

Thai Garuda and Naga (2nd attempt)

PS Wheres tat2?

He is normally all over these threads like Bruce Forsyth on cheap suits!

looks raised up noi as its probably just/recently been done in the pic.

you dont get as much scar tissue than you do from a gun and heals quicker.

Noi,
When mine was first done it felt like brail, lol.
After a week or so, it went back down to normal.

Chris is bang on, faster healing, no bleeding and no scarring.

Noi, if ever you were to get a tattoo, I'd recommend bamboo (what with how easily you cut 'n all, lol :)

how do you add images,i cant get it to work by
attach picture:

Mr cadden that is a Slur .... i had another four sak yant done on last trip sorry five , 2 on neck 2 on back and 1 at bottom of wrist all done the traditional way .... yes they hurt like hell but all tell a story and have alot more meaning to them than the 2 sleeves ive got .

A little blurred ... but you get the picture ... wierd sensation but painfull to start ... awesome place and man

bamboo tat

still cant attach help needed

:) Slur? :)

Nice one.

Dont think its really for me....but I suppose if I was to get one, then this would be my choice. As people have said, I think it tends to mean more to the individual if theres a story behind it....rather than picking "number 72" design off the wall at the local tattoo shop.

I have had enough "bodily markings" from experiences in Thailand. :)

Dont they suggest getting there early in the day to try and be first in the que, and therefore first with the needle (that day)?
Or is this just a scare story for "hygene-obsessed" westerners?

What makes you think they use new needles every day, lol.

My needles came out of a sealed packet, were dipped in alcohol and then burned. Don't know why he used the alcohol and burning from a new packet, maybe just to put my mind at rest.

LOL.... good POINT.

(see what i did there?) :)

had this tat done on my shin for a laugh!!!1
i wanted the brick wall thing but thought the exposed bone was more appropiate........ more "i am daft" than "i am hard"
any comments????

got this done bamboo, each part of the tree is a phrase personal to me,the heart of the tree is 'jai' (the name of my gym) meaning heart.

5 hours, 2 sittings , it was raised for monthes before it settled down.

thought it was too good to be true! 1st time i upload a pic and it dosnt work!

i like kevin's tattoo of the fighters on his left sleve,

and tbh i wouldnt like to sit through having a bamboo tattoo after reading all that, way to painful for my liking, and i can't sit still for that long!!! haha

Photo's won't come up

If your photo/s are not appearing it could be the fact that they may be too big in size. Try re-sizing, and uploading them again.

PS: Liam, you are so sweet HaHa x

Half way through thai dragon, flying in and out of clouds over thai boat, buddhas face on the inside of my bicep. Dragon goes onto my chest and over my shoulder onto my back, (really painful the other day getting my shoulder blade done) about 3hrs to go on that to get the colour in the dragon. On the other arm ive got koi fish on the shoulder to elbow and lotus flower with crown above with my kids & fiancée's name around it on the inside, not finished yet tho………………………wish it was! LOL

LOL knew you'd have something to say on that!:-) its great knowing how to photoshop, the dragons head covers that one eventually haha

Some of our Muay thai club got thai tattoos at a temple Leonard took us to in July this year. They are all slightly different for different things. It was an experience with the whole ceremony and I am a big sooky-lala so it was a bit scary! These pics were taken just after the tattoo was finished so they look much better now, but you'll get the idea.

Dave Hellfighter is the one to chat to about Thai tattoos, only man i know with more Sak Yant than me , ive had both styles done by diff Thai tattoo masters , Ajarn Keaw in Bkk Ajarn Noo in Bkk and now see Ajarn Anek near Sityodtong, hes done my last 5 or 6

Got this done in Bangkok yesterday.

Not as sore as i imagined it!!

This time ?

All blurry, too big man, i dunno how to resize the pics.

Who's a wizz on these?

Second what Tat said:

Dave Hellfighter is the one to chat to about sak yant, he introduced me to Ajarn Keaw in Bkk in October 2008 who did my sak yant.

Ajarn Keaw is a Top top man and very generous , as is Ajarn Anek in Chonburi 2 diff styles but same effect .... was buzzing for days after having first tattoos from both of them .... Awesome meeting them both ... Im hoping to take Dave out to see Ajarn Anek in march if i can get him with me for a few days .
