SAK YANT TRADITIONAL
Hand-poked sacred geometry in the Lanna lineage — by Ajarn Thep, one of three remaining in Bangkok.
INK THAT REMEMBERS WHY YOU CAME for it.
— THE HOUSE —
We don't do flash. We don't do same-day. We talk about it first — for an hour, sometimes two — and if it's the right piece for the right reason, we book. If not, we don't.
— WHAT WE DO —
FOUR
LANGUAGES.
Every artist has one dialect. Pick a style that matches the piece you're carrying, and we'll point you to the right chair.
FINE LINE
Single-needle, small scale, unfussy — the pieces you'll still wear without thinking in fifteen years.
BLACKWORK
Dense geometric fills, dotwork, bold graphic statements — the kind of piece that earns the room.
ILLUSTRATIVE
Original narrative work, drawn from your reference and reshaped. No flash sheets, no copy-paste.
— RESIDENT —
THE chairs.
AJARN THEP& the sacred lineage
Trained 18 years in the Chiang Mai tradition under Ajarn Saen. One of the few practising sak yant masters in Bangkok who still hand-pokes with bamboo. Takes one ceremonial booking per week.
KRU MEI& original work
Nine years at the studio. Works from reference you bring and reshapes it into something that actually belongs on you. Known for narrative sleeves and back pieces that read as one work.
— HOW IT WORKS —
NO WALK-INS.
every piece starts with a conversation.
We take a small number of bookings each month. Every piece starts with a consultation — in studio if you're in Bangkok, over a call if you're not — and we only book once the reference is right and the placement makes sense.
Waitlist runs 3 to 5 weeks. Deposits are small and non-refundable; the balance is paid on the day.
