I apologise if this is an inappropriate place for this, but I've been reading through this thread, and thought someone may be able to help. So, I recently spent several months volunteering in Cambodia, and of course, fell in love with the country. I know this is all very cliche, but I've since began learning about Buddhism, after my experiences in the country. I've started reading up on the sak yant tattooes, which is definitely something I feel drawn to and would like in the future at some point... I was wondering if anyone was aware of a temple that did these in Cambodia or a tattoo artist with such experience? Is there even a difference between one that is be received in Thailand or Cambodia? I'm not quite sure where to even begin in my research. All I know is that I feel a great connection to Cambodia, the people, and particularly the religion. I'd like to... commemorate? That isn't exactly the right word, but the time I spent there was very special to me and personally, I have developed and so on.
Any way, if anyone could help in the slightest way, that would be greatly appreciated! I know I may sound ignorant, but I'm trying to learn as much as possible.
