Sak Yant Gao Yord

Sak Yant Gao Yord Nine Peaks of ount Meru Sakyant Tattoo Design by Ajarn Off

Yant Gao Yord is the Yant Kroo of many of the Great Samnak Sak Yant around Thailand and South East Asia, and is perhaps the most well known of all Sak Yant designs, along with the Yant Paed Tidt eight directional Yantra, and Yant Suea Paen leaping tiger Yantra. With Foreigners, the Yant Gao Yord is certainly the most commonly seen tattoo, far above the leaping tiger, which is usually placed on the chest. Foreigners tend to go more for the more aesthetic looking Suea Koo Maha Amnaj on the flanks of the back, than the big pirate-like leaping tiger on the chest.

Sak Yant Gao Yord by Luang Pi Pant – this was my (Ajarn Spencer) first Sak Yant tattoo, which is traditional and according to the Dtamra Sak Yant, for this is the Yant Kroo (master Guru yantra) of Luang Por Phern, and should indeed be the first tattoo you recieve before any other Sak Yant.

The are many different versions of Yant Gao Yord, the most common being formed as a pyramid like structure, but some can also be formed in a flat alignment, such as in the case of the Yant Gao Yord of the Mong Hilltribe People of the Lanna Sorcery traditions of the Northern Regions of Thailand
