getting a new tattoo tonight in Thailand

(1/4) > >>

Hi guys:

Well I finished my stint being an ordained Buddhist monk.  What a great and challenging experience that was.  I had to shave off my beard when I arrived there and part of the initial ceremonies to become a monk involved having one of the monks shave off my hair and eyebrows with a DE razor.  No fancy shave cream, and no clipping the hair before shaving; just a bucket of cold water and a bar of soap - and wham bam shaved bald in under three minutes!

What an experience!  If you are interested I will write about it when I get home next week and have a normal keyboard.

I went through the disrobing ceremony yesterday and left the monastery.  I took a bus back to Chiang Mai and am staying tonight in a guest house here before leaving for home on Monday night.  While I am here I want to experience getting a tattoo in the old manor with a bamboo stick and a needle.  I have an appointment for tonight.  It is going to be a mixture of a traditional Sak Yant tattoo with new school tigers inside if it instead of just line-type tigers.   It will be placed on my lower back.

Randy, it would be great to hear the details of your trip. Have a good trip home.

Hieu Tran:
Wow, look like you got nice experiences on your trip to Thailand. Monks shave their head really fast and smooth.

I saw Thai tattoo on monk's body on the internet. It's great. I love tattoos but can't have one at this time. It's would be great if I can see yours.

Congrats anyway BBBA :)
