Today’s “Reuters” article expounds on information I shared in my book Spiritual Skin – Sacred Tattoos: More than Skin Deep. In my book I retraced the origins of tattoos, including their color past and present day resurgence, to bring to light the spiritual significance and sacredness that has pervaded throughout time, and is finding its way back into our lives in a very empowering and magically transformative way. I’ve helped bring to light how sacred tattoos can be utilized as mystical tools to integrate spirituality into our lives and to create personal portals to access specific energy desired.

I briefly shared in Spiritual Skin about this Thai festival for tattoo devotees, as one demonstrative way, spiritual significance and ritual symbolism of tattoos has been continued to this day.
