He probably likes Laos, or one of his Lao friends did it for him.

It's strange to have a tattoo in Lao writing over a spiral tattoo. Maybe one or both of them aren't even permanent tattoos, and just ink.

Watch out for practical tattoo jokers. They are out there.

It's best to know the language, understand the the meaning before putting it on your body. I've seen it happen to people where a guy lied about the meaning and decide to go all the way with it. LOL

I don't know if any of you have heard of an incident regarding the surgeons and the guy with "I love women" tattoos on his body. The guy needed surgery for something I forget, it so happens the surgery was done exactly on the "w.o."letters on his body. When the surgery was complete and over, guess what his tattoo says? "I love men". Yep, the surgeons got sued.

What's wrong with that? As long as you know what it says for sure (so you don't get "I love men" tattooed over your heart). I have been considering getting a tattoo in Thai or Lao. I think both types of writing are very beautiful when they're stylized correctly. Also the sak yant tattoos that people get here sometimes look really nice. I believe those are written in Pali or Sanskrit. I doubt that most Thais can read any Pali, but they still get the tattoos.

If you want a Lao relevant tattoo, then sak yant is the way to go. Make sure it's done by a proper monk! The 'spells' look the 'hottest'. Only devout monks can read Pali.
