PS: Thai's under 40 look at it and don't even know what it is? :shock:

Pete, dug this up from the past since it always interested me. The link doesn't seem to work anymore, but would be interested if you do have a pic of the good luck tattoo.

I have a right side of the body with numerous stitches, breaks, problems, etc (left side has none) that the wife and I always joke about something like this. Maybe it's time.... :cheers:

^ I can't find anything on it either. All the Thai Yantra tattoos now depicted on-line are much more grandiose. Anyway, later today I'll ask the wife to photo my arm and I'll post. Any long term, older monk will know what it is when looking at it. It represents 5 famous monks from Thai history. The words/chant that goes with it (phonetically) that represent their names are : Dah Moo Boo Dah Yah. Pete :cheers:
