Sak Yant tattoos originated in Cambodia in the 9th Century. People from around the world travel to Cambodia to get these tattoos because they are interested to learn about the history and meaning behind this tattoo art form. At Sovannaphum Tattoo we believe it is extremely important to promote Cambodian art and culture to the world and to promote the most positive aspects of this beautiful tattoo art. a Producing these tattoos is our way to show respect the amazing country that is modern day Cambodia. After a 30 year civil war that striped Cambodia bare of its Cultural heritage. The Khmer people remained strong and unbroken, and it is their strong belief in their Buddhist prayer that helped sustain them through their darkest and hardest times. These prayers were writen in their skin and helped keep them strong in the darkest times when they search for wisdom and strength. The new generation of Khmer people are promoting their culture to the world to show the strength of their people and the dream they have to build a better country. Sak Yant prayer tattoos are not just tattoos but hopes and dreams for success in the future, to protect those who wear them from negativity and those who wish to harm them physically or psychologically. It is important to show great respect to the Cambodian people and their art and to celebrate the triumph over adversity which they have faced.
