    I had an incredible experience at Sak Yant Chiang Mai. I met with Nana at the in-house location in the heart of Chiang Mai. She spoke with me about the tattoos, the ritual, and the entire experience overall. And then we drove about 20 minutes away to the Ajarn's house, wai'd to the ajarn and we talked more about the tattoos before he begin making a stencil of them. The entire time I felt supported and understood. Nana asked throughout if I was okay, gave me some water and snacks. It was a really beautiful experience. I got 4 tattoos done at one time, and it took about 3 hours total. Yes, the pain was very intense but still - this was an experience I will never forget for the rest of my life. Thank you to Sak Yant Chiang Mai for this experience, to Nana and Ajarn Sam for supporting me in this process. I will be coming back!

    Amazing shop. The staff are extremely friendly and courteous. They spend time to make sure you know what you are getting and proper placement. The ceremony is very spiritual and our Ajarn was incredibly talented for being his age. I highly recommend you make this stop in your Chiang Mai trip!

    Absolutely amazing experience at Sak Yant Chiang Mai! I went by myself (female) and did the temple visit. I loved that I could choose my own design from the many beautiful options offered, as well as the tattoo location. I felt very safe and supported the entire time by my guide, Non! He took me to the temple, did a great job of explaining everything to me, and kept me company for my entire visit. I highly recommend, and will be coming back for more!

    My husband and I shared the most wonderful experience here. We had pre-booked this experience online. It was a highlight of our trip. We were ecstatic about the outcome of this visit. I would highly recommend this company. We would do it all over again!

    My boyfriend and I were heading over to Chiang Mai and were really interested in Sak Yant. We had booked our Sak Yant in the temple which was a beautiful experience for the both of us. Nana was absolutely awesome and helped guide us in the whole process as well as provided good conversation and information on Sak Yant. When we got back to the shop, we were greeted with tea and cookies and got to hang out with the really awesome staff for a few minutes before we left. Not only has this experience been incredibly beautiful, but it has been full of warm and friendly people. If Sak Yant is something you are looking for in Thailand, I reccomend stopping at Sak Yant Chiang Mai.

    Great, safe and clean! This was my first Sak Yant and first tattoo. It was a great experience from the moment you set up your reservation to the end. Everything about this process was amazing. If/when we come back to Thailand I will definitely get another one for the experience and lifelong Sak Yant.

    Absolutely satisfied with my experience. I wanted sacred tattoos done by a master and this was the case. The professor is a man of high intensity, we feel it. Kindness and competence are there, with this peaceful man endowed with a heart like one rarely meets. You enter an unknown world and you come out changed. How good that feels! Delicious welcome by the young women. In short, I will go back and I will recommend this place with my eyes closed. Thank you 🙏

    Memorable, but for all the wrong reasons. Terrible customer service. I had done a great amount of research about Sak Yants and specifically Sak Yant Chiang Mai. I had even spent time going through their reviews and instagram so I could see the work of the ajarn and then booked in advance the ajarn that I liked. I had gone through their FAQ's several times. I arrived half an hour early as the website mentions they will prepare you, talk through designs with you and any questions you may have. When I arrived the lady asked "Do you know which design you want?" I had ideas, but not a final decision so I replied "No not yet" she pointed at the book so my wife and I took 10 minutes or so looking through the designs, and I had picked out 2 that I liked. I would have liked some input from the staff when looking through the book but this was not offered. I then walked to the counter and started telling her "I like this one..." but she cut me off abruptly and said "No you can't, you need two hours and you have only booked one. You can come back tonight but that will cost and extra 3000 Baht" she was rather aggressive when saying this and it took me by surprise. She then said "You haven't researched the website as it says it there" I told her I did, but then still aggressively she said "No you haven't, I'll show you on the website now" Now I was very shocked as apparently this lady can tell me what I have and haven't done. She then spent around 20 minutes trying to find the information on their website, and even started bringing in colleagues and calling people on the phone to try and find this information. If an employee cannot find this information on their own website within 20 minutes, then its safe to say this information is not clear. Her colleague then said in a rhetorical tone in front of a room with now several people inside who could hear "You thought this was going to take 1 hour?" now it was almost as if she was trying to embarrass me and tell me I'm a fool for not knowing exactly how long a sak yant will take, and I did not appreciate it and it made me feel terribly uncomfortable. As I mentioned I had researched the designs I liked, and if it simply would say next to the design how long it would take, even something as simple as 'this design usually takes longer than an hour so book two hours' this could be avoided. I made this suggestion to them. The colleague then told me I have two options, either come back at 5pm and pay an extra 1,000 Baht, or receive my deposit back. Why was I initially told it would be an extra 3,000 baht and now it would be an extra 1,000 baht? After consideration I decided I would like my deposit back. A Sak Yant is supposed to be a positive and memorable experience. For sure it was memorable, but for all the wrong reasons and I did not want to enter this spiritual experience with the negative energy they had created. The original lady then told me to sit down and I will get my deposit back. After around 15 minutes, nothing had been said to me as if I had been forgotten. I politely reminded her I would like my deposit back, but again in an unnecessarily aggressive tone she snapped "Its through paypal, check your email". Why was I not told this and just told to sit down? How long would I have been sitting there, not getting the sak yant I had been so excited for, before they told me this? As I was leaving the colleague mentioned "It all worked out we have someone for your slot now".....Well that might be great for you but not for me. Response to company response: Sorry I have never done this but I felt I must reply as things are now simply being made up. I never once told the staff they don’t know how long the design takes, in fact I said the opposite and that is why I had booked one appointment. Also the appointment was not cancelled. I was told 3,000baht, then 20 minutes later told 1,000baht or my deposit back, so I calmly asked for my deposit back. Speaking of respect, acting defensive to customer feedback and mentioning my wife is not very respectful at all.

    Sak Yant Chiang Mai was truly a nice and fun experience through and through. Booking was easy and when we contacted them to make a change they were very kind and patient and helpful. When we got there we were treated very well and they helped us through every step of the experience. You simply cannot beat the price, quality, and experience!

    Located at old city of chiangmai, been trying my luck to temple for sakyant on my previous trip 3 year ago and it was not easy. This time round I found Sak Yant Chiang Mai, price is very reasonable for the quality of work they provided. The translation and photo taking make me feel as ease. Recommend to book online to secure your appointment before your arrival. This is a nice and new experience for me. I opt for bamboo option, it can be unbearable at times for a first timer without any tattoo experience.

    Overall excellent experience. The staff are very kind and helpful. I did a "In House" Sak Yat an it was comfortable with only a couple minutes of ritual that you are walked through by the staff. The tatt itself took a little less then an hour and the pain was only mildly irritating. The Master seemed to intuitively know when an area was starting to get irritated and would move to another part of the pice. The aftercare, consisting of just applications of antibiotic cream, was quite easy, and after a week the tattoo was completely healed. Highly recommended.

    What a great sak Yant tattoo experience! From steps A to Z, they do their best to eliminate any guesswork and make your experience one that's as easy as possible! I love that their website has a good FAQ, which includes their pricing. They also have a webzine with many designs, though I think they have more designs at the studio. I had my sak Yant done at the studio. The ajarn (master) I had used gloves and sanitized the needle. They staff walks you through entering and greeting the ajarn and making an offering (I thought I had to bring my own so I did, but they provide one for you!). They ask for the intention and communicate that to the ajarn so that it's weaved into the blessing of the tattoo. I came alone and the staff was kind enough to take photos and videos for me so I could focus on receiving the tattoo. It would've been nice if I could interact with the ajarn. Unfortunately, I don't speak Thai so it felt transactional. I don't think all the intentions I wanted were communicated to the ajarn, but that's ok. I did my own intention prayers the same time as the ajarn. The staff is friendly and speaks English. In the end, they provide tea and a cookie. They also explain the healing process and apply some cream. All in all, it was over in an hour. There is pain, just a little different from a machine as the inknis poked in. The design I wanted was beautiful and covered in a gold sheet similar to ones used to place on statues at a temple. I would do it again, the next time I'd consider a temple visit! I'm grateful for this memorable moment made in Chiang Mai.

    I just got my Sak Yant tattoo done a couple of days ago and it was one of the best and most emotional experiences of my life. Traditional tattoos but western higiene standards. The guy at the counter who was also the person who traduced what I said to the monk was absolutely lovely and emotionally supported me while I got my tattoo, so if your reading this, THANK YOU, your kindness made the difference.

    Authentic tattoo at temple 45 minutes away. Staff at Sak Yant Chiang Mai were helpful and friendly all throughout the process. They even gathered bus information for trip to Pai. Furthermore, since I happened to be the only one booked for temple tour that afternoon, which is rare, they arranged a appointment a hour early just so I could catch a bus. They went above and beyond.

    We had a great experience with our first sak yant tattoos. Healing was itchy but smooth and quicker than our previous modern tattoos. They took all input and we got exactly what we wished for. One month later and we haven’t regret them for a second!

    My Sak Yant experience which had been organised by Sak Yant Chiang Mai was fantastic. I was taken care of from start to finish, from the minute I entered the Tattoo parlour to the time I left Wat Mae Tao Hai Temple. I was helped in choosing my Sak Yant design & chose to go with Monk Eak's own design of Yant as it felt more personal. I was picked up by my guide & taken to Wat Mae Tao Hai Temple. I was shown how to wai and how to bring my offerings to Monk Eak, who spoke tentively when asking about my previous yants, which was translated to him through my guide, who through the whole process made sure I was comfortable and well informed how things were going to happen. Monk Eak's attention to detail was everything, he took time in transferring his design onto my skin before proceeding with creating my yant. His touch was soft and Monk Eak worked with unbelievable speed to create the Spiritual piece of art on my skin & once the yant was finished Monk Eak proceeded with my blessing, which is said to give your Yant it's magical powers. After Monk Eak had finished I bowed 3 times to finish the process and thank him for my Yant. My guide explained all about my aftercare & how to take care of my yant. My complete experience was Spiritual, Magical and Mystical & I would highly recommend booking with Sak Yant Chiang Mai if you are thinking about ever getting a Sak Yant. Many Thanks Sean 🙏🙏🙏

    Getting a sak yant may have been my favorite experience during my first visit to Thailand. It was also my first solo international trip. I opted for the temple tour and the visit to the monk’s place instead of in-house. Micky was my guide and was so kind and helpful. I did lots of researching before landing on Sak Yant Chiang Mai and I’m super grateful for the experience.

    Had a piece done a year prior to getting my most recent piece done there and it was amazing work so I decided to go back and get another piece done. Boy do I regret it. The monk who tattooed me this time around made an absolute mess of my forearm, he dident even have the right size gloves but I had already paid so was committed at that point. Got it done and it is a complete state. They then tell me after the fact that he is still training.. would of been a nice piece of information to get beforehand so I could of said no. Live and learn I guess. I would suggest to anyone going here make it VERY clear you want an experienced artist and make sure they're not in bloody training, wish you all the best of luck.

    The staff was very nice and was able to guide me through the whole experience. I do wish they went through the deeper meaning behind the mantras i got tattooed on my skin beyond the surface explanation, but its also my own fault for not asking. I was fired up about the experience and forgot to ask. I did the in house experiance because the temple experience was booked up, so if you want a temple experience, make sure to book in advance. The studio was very clean. This is my first ever tattoo, and I'm completely obsessed with it. It healed in a week.

    My friend and I got our Sak yants together at Sak Yant chiang mai. I got a centipede with ruesi blessings and she got the 8 directions and 9 peaks. Our experience with the staff was wonderful. The English speaking guides were kind, funny, helpful, and knowledgeable. Our Ajarn was great as well and also worked very quickly. The tattoo was more painful than a machine for the two of us, but it was well worth it and was over quickly. The staff was knowledgeable about aftercare and offered us cookies and tea afterwards. We got to speak with some other people who got their Sak yants and two who were considering it. The ajarn also did a special blessing for my friend who is visually impaired. Overall it was an incredible experience and a memory I will cherish. The tattoo is great as well - not the most artist tattoo in the world but one full of meaning for me, which is what matters.

    Sak Yant Chiang Mai were great! From initial communication right through to post appointment questions/care. This was not only my first Sak Yant but my first tattoo. I explained that to the staff who were very reassuring. I was given a portfolio of designs to take a look through after the whole process had been explained to me. And then one of the staff took me to see the ajarn who would be doing the sak yant. I dont speak Thai so it was great having an English speaking member of the team translate what I was looking to get out of the experience. In fact this was one of the reasons I chose Sak Yant Chiang Mai in the first place. The tattoo itself took less than an hour. Afterwards I had antiseptic applied and the aftercare process was explained clearly. The team were very helpful via email with aftercare queries too which was much appreciated. When I come back to Chiang Mai next I will definitely return for another Sak Yant.

    I made a deposit a month in advance for a temple tour with Monk Sak Yant. Upon arrival Nana met me and explained the days events. She made me feel more than comfortable and extremely excited for the day. She explained I was lucky because the Monk I was getting a tattoo from rarely made time for tattoos anymore but made an exception for me. Nana explained all the details on the car ride and we stopped to purchase offerings. Upon arrival we gave Monk Ton the offerings and we prayed together. We then began the tattoo. I asked for the Hah Taew (5 lines) as well as a personalize tattoo on the nape of my neck of his choosing. The pain was not bad or any worse than any tattoo I’ve gotten in the West and the whole experience was more calming than I could have imagined. After he was done he rubbed herbs into the tattoo and we prayed more. Overall I had a more than amazing experience and am so happy to have the magic of Sak Yant in my skin and with my body. Thank you Nana!

    Have to say my Thailand journey was wholly centered around the idea of getting a Sak Yant! So it was imperative the entire procedure be magical. I stumbled upon this address after searching online for a while. I wasn't aware of needing an appointment, so I headed straight to this place after disembarking my bus. It was really disheartening when I learnt the day was completely booked for. However the ladies at the front desk asked me to wait a bit and as luck would have it, the next customer backed out right in front of me!!! Got my spot! Yayyy! The entire experience from then on was so enlightening and smooth. They have a huge catalogue of designs with an explanation to each one to help us better understand. And they are ready to help you out with a small. For anyone who feels nervous or if its your first time, this place will calm you down and you'll leave with more than just a tattoo and a smile on your face. They have a beautiful garden out the back where you can relax or meditate. I got my Sak Yant blessed and inked on me by Ajarn Sam, who looked calm and reassuring. Overall the entire procedure was just perfect. I told them my entire trip was for this tattoo and I was happy that I came here. Might go back again to renew my tattoo powers and get a new one too.

    This experience from pick up to drop off was beyond expectations. Our guide was friendly, personable, kind and thoughtful. The Monk was very much the same, and he made us feel comfortable with the Tattoo process, checking often to ensure we were ok. The tattoo experience and resulting tattoos were superb. Each tattoo, for my daughter and I, fit our purpose and spiritual aspirations perfectly. The entire ritual was magical and meaningful. We highly recommend this experience.

    The monk who tattooed was great, but the service leading up to and after was abysmal. We were guided by the owner of the shop and she made things more confusing and scary for us on the way over. Sak yant Chiang Mai says they'll prep you by explaining and asking you questions about the ritual before going to the Monk's residence, but the only thing they did at the shop was talk to us about the design and left the conversation to the car ride over. If we had any concerns or second guesses it would have been too late. We were already in the car ride over. For example the guide told us the Monk's place was messy and we're probably not going to be happy with the design. My overall impression is that the shop does not add value to the experience, does a terrible job at explaining and making the customer at ease. It is however a good option if you've done your own research and are already familiar with the ritual and just need a way to get the yak sant you desire. Sak yant Chiang Mai is cheaper than other options but you won't get the same experience and service. We're happy with the sak yant the monk tattooed.

    Amazing experience. Super friendly staff, great hospitality before I even got there starting off with email exchange. Excellent English, very knowledgeable and great atmosphere. The Ajarn was super skilled and took his role serious. Still got a laugh out of him towards the end ;) would go there again if I was still in Chiang Mai. Thanks again for the memorable experience!

  • 5/5 Christina K. 1 year ago on Google
    I love my tattoo! It's so beautiful and meaningful. The staff are very friendly and helped explain the experience to me too. This photo is from a tattoo done with by a metal needle. l actually came to this shop 4 years ago and got a tattoo done by bamboo. For that tattoo, the monk went into the forest and found the bamboo. Then he burned it and shaped it. That took about 3 days to prepare so if you want the bamboo make sure to plan extra time.

    Better than I could imagine. The guide was funny, people orientated, and super helpful. I had a moment that I had to stop the tattoo and lay down (remember to breathe ladies and gents). The guide was there talking me through it. Monk was amazing. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

    Wonderful experience! Really knowledgeable, welcoming, and patient staff. I wanted to move the positioning of my tattoo several times and the Arjan and assistant were very understanding. I was able to film the entire experience. This photo is of my tattoo on day 7 healing very nicely. It wasn’t any more painful than a regular tattoo and actually maybe less painful because no shading! The blessing was beautiful and made me very emotional. 10/10 recommend

  • 5/5 Cole P. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience was perfect. The staff was excellent and communicated well. Master Sak Yant Monk Rachon spent his time to answer questions and find the right design and blessings for my needs. It was clean, quick and professional. I chose to have my Sak Yant done at the temple and having the sounds of the jungle around rather than the noise of a tattoo machine made the experience so much more spiritual.

  • 5/5 JuBāLú 1 year ago on Google
    An incredible experience. We were looked after very well by the staff from the start. Since we are traveling with 2 children, we opted for the in-house SakYant. During the ceremony we were looked after very well and professionally by the staff and we are more than satisfied with the result. What was particularly great was the friendly interaction with our children during the ceremony and that the two kids were also blessed. We will definitely be back

  • 5/5 Jessica B. 1 year ago on Google
    Our experience here was top notch! from the second we walked in they answered all our questions, made us feel very welcome and made sure we understood the whole process. They took their time explaining the tattoos and the meanings and the rituals. They let us take our time deciding on the designs. The our guide drove us to the temple and hung out with us while my husband and I got our tattoos for three hours. He answered any questions. Did all the translating and checked in with us as the day went. He explained all about the monks and the traditions. He was great. The tattoo process was easy and clean. Everything was sterilized. Our guide even ordered us coconut smoothies and some other snacks while we were there. This shop is the real deal. I would go back and we suggested many other people to it as our trip went!

    Great experience for two of us. We found something that fit with our ideas with some input. I will be coming back to expand the tattooed area.

    In addition to getting a personally and culturally sacred tattoo, the staff were kind and generous (the monk stayed an hour late to do my tattoo, knowing we were leaving the next day). And, the sensation of being tattooed with this technique was not painful compared to other tattoes i have had. In fact, i only experienced the bliss of meditation and true gratitude, during and for hours afterwards. It was an amazing experience that i now carry with me throughout life!

    Fabulous experience. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Ajarn Sam was a pleasure to work with and gave me a very special design, the Yant Dtakhaap. It turned out absolutely beautiful. Best place for a Sak Yant in Chiang Mai

    Did some research and decided Sak Yant Chiang Mai would be the beat place to get my first tattoo ever. Happy I chose them. The entire experience was very special and now I have the memories of dealing with dedicated people and two beautiful Sak Yants. PS Didnt hurt as much as everyone said it would.

    San Yant in Chiang Mai is one of the experience what you can do if travel to Chiang Mai or you have a life here. From start to book the appointment till the end it’s a special service and journey in your life. You got informed all about it what is a Sak Yant. I could say as a long therm expert, thank you for the spirit.

    6/1/2019 Awesome experience! Monk Rung was amazing! Be back in a few months for more! ***edit*** 1/7/2020 I’ve returned to add on to my existing Sak Yant. Once again; what an incredible experience. This time, I was seen by Ajarn Tom, he is beyond meticulous, understanding and powerful. The blessing I received was one of the most spiritually powerful experiences of my life.

    LOVED my experience. Everyone was very helpful, spoke wonderful English and made me feel at ease! They even offered to take photos for me, since I was alone. Great place. Truly authentic. And a great value.

    (Translated by Google) You will not talk to the monk about the meaning. It's pretty fast, but it's still worth it. It's made by a monk but it's still quite touristy! (Original) Vc não vai conversar com o monge sobre o significado. É bem rápido, mas ainda assim vale a pena. É feito por um monge mas ainda é bem turístico!

    I have now had two tattoos done here and I thoroughly enjoyed both experiences. The procedure is far more than just getting a tattoo. I love the ceremony of presenting gifts to the monk and the many blessings chanted before, during and after the tattooing if I come back to Chiang Mai again, I will definitely come back for my third tattoo!

    if you want a sak yant, definitely contact Nana from Sak Yant Chiang Mai. She is super kind and will explain everything of the process and the history of sak yant. i’m in chiang mai during a very difficult time, because of covid. I love tattoos and Sak Yants are so beautiful and they have wonderful meanings and powers. normally i was being tattooed 2 days, but in the end i ve made 4 appointments😂. the experience was just magical, i have been tattooed by 2 monks and 1 ajarn. Nana brought me to the temple or samnak, she was so relaxed and so kind, nothing was too much for her. i must admit, being tattooed on lower back hurts, but Nana got me trough. so please if you are in Chiang Mai and you want a wonderful experience contact Nana from Sak Yant Chiang Mai, i promise you, you will be blown away. Thank you so much Nana, next year i will be back for sure, and enjoy the Belgian chocolates. good luck and a good health for everyone.

    Sak Yant Chiang Mai is clearly a well established group of people who know what they are doing and cater to travelers in a very professional and respectful way. Their website was very informative and helpful. I was very excited to travel to Chiang Mai and was quite disappointed when a government domestic travel ban was put in place preventing me from doing so. I reached out to Sak Yant Chiang Mai and explained my situation and they were very understanding refunding my deposit, wishing me safe travels, and some kind words hoping I would return after covid. This is very good business and I recommend Sak Yant Chiang Mai to anyone who can make it there.

    I had a wonderful experience getting a Sak Yant with Sak Yant Chiang Mai. Nana takes time to explain everything and help you pick your Sak Yant and serves as translator and guide during the visit. I had originally planned on visiting a temple but flight cancellations and the monks funeral duties made it so I had to get my Sak Yant with an Ajarn at his Samnak but it was a wonderful experience. He had traditional Thai music playing and was very welcoming. I got the “Tiger looking back” or “Suea Hiaw lang” Sak Yant and am very happy with the experience.

👍👍 Today we went to all the temple's in Chiang Mai. In one word just beautiful but you've to see them for your self. The best one was for sure Wat Chedi Luang. Only at this you've to pay 40 bath entry fee when most of them are free. Still worth it though. In some of temple's women are not allowed to go...

👍👍 A secret hidden gem. A wonderful temple volunteer called 'V' spoke with me and taught me mediation, about the Darma wheel, and how to live more a peaceful, wholesome life. I spent over an hour here speaking to him and him explaining everything to me. I could've easily spent more time here with him....
