Do you have a tattoo or two?

From Buddhist monks young and old to visitors enjoying a holiday, Thailand is the perfect place to get tattooed. Professional tattoo artists are plentiful in Siam, from Bangkok and Chiang Mai to Ko Phi Phi and Phuket. Most shops offer hygienic service and superb tattoo art at rates significantly below many European countries and the USA.

Whether you are getting your first tattoo or your body is covered with art, a gaze through the window of the next tattoo shop you pass will offer a glimpse into the world of a long-standing Oriental art.

If you have a destination you want to promote in SE Asia, email me and maybe we can work something out.
