is that bloke pretending to be a tiger? or criminally insane?
Now these tats are meant to protect one from all manner of evils but I’ve refrained from getting one since learning that you aint supposed to let a Thai sheila "get on top" after the spiritual ink has touched your skin. Now I'm not sure if this was just a load of cods wallop fed to me by a girlfriend or not but it sure put the frighteners on me nonetheless. Anyway I thought a few of the "well hard members" might enjoy!

I'll have to line myself up for the next festival
I was flicking down the page expecting to see a topless woman's tattoo picture mate but in the end was disappointed.
With all due respects can think of better ways to spend a weekend as I hate Tatts but thanks for sharing your experience.
Yes I'm more a tit man than a tat man myself. Whilst on the topic of tit for tat I must wonder if our old mate K. Sabai is a tat man ... haven't seen him for a while
Thanks for the great reportage and pics Wayne!!
No idea mate!Originally Posted by Wayne Kerr
Was expecting to see him back in Pattaya by now but no news!
Great pics of a bizarre looking event. Good thread.
I was there too. Some pretty crazy shit was going down. After they've worked themselves up into a frenzy, they charge and scream down the field running straight into a line of volunteers who pull them to the ground and rub their earlobes to calm them down. At the end of the main ceremony when there was about a hundred of these guys charging the wall, we tried to get to the front to get stuck in. I got pushed out pretty quick but my mate made it to the front and helped out catching the nutters.
His wife had the camera so I cant upload my pics yet. She also made it to the front and took a punch in the face.
Thanks for posting your pictures Wayne - I was there too, it's a great event for pictures. I hope your wife is ok Fresh Prince -a friend of mine says a farang aquaintance had their arm broken after not being aware enough and getting knocked down by someone speeding in towards the stage.
