A visit to a temple in Thailand can yield a magical tattoo. For more than 2,000 years tattoos have been a part of Thai culture. Applied by a monk, they carry special significance and are meant as a blessing and thought to grant protection or other benefits to the tattooed. There are many designs and symbols, but often the monk chooses the tattoo based on his reading of you and your spirit needs.

Born in February of 1917, this year was her one-hundredth birthday and many worry, if it&#8217;s not passed down, this tradition may die with her.

Her ink is made from a charcoal and water mixture and is applied with the thorn of the pomelo tree. The sharp thorn is coated in ink and tapped with a wooden block into the skin, which is said to be a bit more painful than modern methods. The designs are derived from nature and are often geometric in shape. Whang-od herself is covered in tattoos she\u2019s had for most of her long life. Up until earlier this century, most of her people had tattoos like these, but now she\u2019s the last artist of her kind.

Without a cross tattoo on the inside of the wrist, it would be impossible to visit a church, so it was common for even very young children to receive this type of marking.

Traditional Irezumi tattoos are still done with wooden handles and metal needles connected by a silk thread. The process can take years to receive a full body suit in true Irezumi style and cost over $30,000. Historically, people would cover their arms, legs, back, and chest, leaving an un-tattooed space down the center of the body. You probably won\u2019t find an Irezumi tattoo artist in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Tokyo-Hotels.d179900.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\">Tokyo<\/a>, but finding one is part of the adventure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s2\">Inspired by these traditional designs? If so, it\u2019s worth noting that a large part of why these traditions have survived some many centuries is because they carry a significance to the artists and the local people who receive them. If we\u2019ve inspired you to get some traditional ink, we also encourage you to do so in a way that respects the culture each belongs to. Take some time to understand the meanings and customs behind the ink and you\u2019ll enjoy it even more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p8\"><em>Featured image courtesy of GettingStamped.com<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p8\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/app\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47693 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/OrbitzApp.jpeg\" alt=\"Orbitz, app, iPhone, travel, deals\" width=\"600\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/OrbitzApp.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/OrbitzApp-300x50.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/OrbitzApp-400x67.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn from the local elders before getting inked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":170,"featured_media":59847,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2670,2672,2673],"tags":[2660,2772],"class_list":["post-59792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-asia","category-japan","category-thailand","tag-adventure","tag-tips-and-advice"],"acf":{"api_active":null,"api_title":null,"api_excerpt":null,"api_featured_image":null,"api_lob":null},"posts_api_cpm_point":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>5 traditional tattoo experiences that are well worth the trip | Orbitz<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/2017\/05\/5-fascinating-traditional-tattoos-well-worth-trip\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"5 traditional tattoo experiences that are well worth the trip | Orbitz\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Learn from the local elders before getting inked.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/2017\/05\/5-fascinating-traditional-tattoos-well-worth-trip\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Orbitz\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Orbitz\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-05-18T21:27:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2017-05-18T22:08:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/orbitz-media\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/15211745\/Traditional-Travel-Tattoos-GettingStamped-2-1000x470.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"470\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Hannah &amp;
