A lot of students are being trained at tattoo school Thailand to enable them to make a profession out of this popular art form.

Since the very early times, tattoos have been used in Thailand for religious reasons. It was believed that tattoos have special powers and magical effects and give protection from enemies. Thai people still believe in these magical powers of tattoos. But these days, people get themselves tattooed with Thai tattoos more as a form of body decoration, rather than for the traditional Thai religion.

Thai tattoos are drawn in a variety of designs, with the most preferred designs being images of animals such as snakes and tigers, Lord Buddha images, numbers and scriptures text. For getting the magical effects of the traditional tattoos, one should get them done by a Buddhist monk. The traditional form of Thai Tattoos can be learned in the tattoo school Thailand. A number of courses are offered to the students to enable them to gain proficiency in the Thai tattoo drawing.

Traditional Thai tattoos are drawn using various geometrical designs. This is done by monks who draw the tattoo while chanting Vedic mantras to give the power of protection in the tattoo. When the tattoo is finished, the sacred ceremony is completed with incense and candles. In the ancient times, when tattoos were drawn on people at a particular temple, they were automatically granted membership to the select group of people who also had undergone the same experience.

This traditional aspect of Thai tattoo is being forgotten with the emergence of so many tattoo schools. But the tattoo school Thailand still teaches this traditional aspect to the people who wish to learn it. There are several tattoo courses for people who want to make it a profession and set up their own tattoo business. People also want to get their tattoos drawn from professionals who have received adequate professional training in the tattoo art.

Almost all the famous tattoo artists found in Bangkok have been trained at tattoo school Thailand. They can be easily found at every nook and corner of Bangkok and have a huge variety of designs starting from geometrical patterns, animal images and other designs. The majority of customers are foreign tourists who get themselves tattooed with a design of their choice.

In addition to the foreign tourists, a large number of Thai people are also getting themselves tattooed as a result of the increasing impact of the western culture on the Thai society. Many youngsters as part or fans of different rock music groups and music bands get themselves tattooed to look 'cool'. They use tattoos more for its decorative purpose rather than for its religious purpose.

Most of the people who get them tattooed with Thai tattoos happen to be foreign tourists. These people also include the likes of world famous celebrities such as Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie who got tattooed when she visited Bangkok.
