For your first Yant?..
I wanted to wait to write anything so i could sit with the experience for a bit ✨🙏 This was a beautiful and powerful experience for me start to finish. Where the sidewalk ends (Noi) made it so smooth and authentic. Noi is such a nice guy, charming and chill. perfect at giving the facts and helpful advice, while also translating and creating ceremony. Exactly what i was looking for. Ajarn Rung is a true master and his modesty speaks volumes. Its such an honor to recieve blessing and protection from Ajarn Rung, and i’m so proud of my new Sak Yant. He’s gentle and wise and helped listen and create a design specifically one of a kind, for me. It was exactly the ceremony i’d hoped for. Notes for others; This is not a tattoo shop, experience. And i’ve been in a lot of them. You’re visiting an Ajarn, and it feels like oldschool shop. A friends studio.. because it is. You’re visiting a monk in his studio north of town, it’s fast, with great intention, and the bamboo is a unique experience as far as needles go. I’m so grateful for the entire experiwnce, and the quick lunch in the way out of town was a great treat and a moment to gather oneself. Thank you Thank you for making it easy and such a memorable experience, WSE! To to Ajarn Rung, many blessings to all, thank you for your help ✨🙏
