Angelina Jolie and famous Sak Yant Tattoos

When it comes to Sak Yant Magic Tattoo of the famous Ajarn Noo (Sompong Kanphai), many of us are curious often for differing reason. The main reason is it’s not an ordinary tattoo; the design has a religious feel to it.

Some foreigners, mostly white folks are flying to Thailand to get their sacred tattoo done by Ajarn Noo. More and more foreigners are now familiar with the term Sak Yant Tattoo owing to the famous, the one and only, Angelina Jolie. She’s my kind of girl who is bold enough to have several large tats on her body especially that big tiger tattoo. In circa 2004 Angelina has been awarded Cambodian citizenship by order of royal decree from King Narodom Sihamoni. Ajarn Noo decorated her lower back with a massive tiger in order to celebrate her Cambodian citizenship. So now Angelina actually has dual citizenship: United States and Cambodia.

I have become fascinated by her love towards tattoo art and always wonder why she’s so fond of Sak Yant Tattoo.

So, this post I’m gonna introduce her palm lines that might contain some clues as to why she’s so into this sacred Yantra ink. Let’s take a look at the sister line which runs next to the life line in her hand. This extremely prominent sister line is the sign of a guardian angel or protective spirit that walks with her in life, and is obviously so prominent that Angelina might be able to tell us in a blink of an eye who that guardian spirit is, as she most certainly feels herself in regular contact with this entity.

Thai Yantra tats are imbued with spirituality and blessings for protection, love fortune, as well as a thriving life.

Whether we believe it or not, it seems that after having sacred tattoos done on her back, Angelina was kind of catapulted into spotlight even more as if the tats have been offering her mystical powers and fame. In Angelina's case, I think her Sak Yant tats are functioning as magic Charms to protect her. In other words, Sak Yant tats are her guadian angels. We all noticed she has added new tats one by one to her body over the years. Palm lines can develop and expand little by little over the years as well. This implies that her sister line might have been formed for only a decade or so after getting herself inked. Later, her sister line gradually becomes clearer and deeper up until now.
