LoungMaak Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Hello, does anybody know what a "isaan tattoo" is? Thanks for any feedback. Loung Maak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) My guess is that it's a love bite or hickey. Alternatively it might be that the word tattoo is being used to mean a parade. In the case of the latter an Issan Tattoo would go as follows: Girl - Darling, I no have money. Farang - March to ATM, get money and return.

Bpraim1 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I have heard of a Samui tattoo, This where your leg touches the hot exhaust pipe of a motorbike. Thus leave'n you with a nice burn on your leg! Issan Tattoo could be the same?? or a nice tattoo a buffalo will leave you if you piss it off! But that is a whole different story!

Ken Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I've heard of something called a "Thai Tatoo" of which I have a few. It comes from burning your bare legs on the exhaust of a motorcycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronthompson Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 in America u can tell if the Kentucky Girl is from the Eastern or Western part of the state by her tattoo; Girls from Western Kentucky tend to have tattoos spelled correctly. Could your answer be something like that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AiLao Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) Well I would say Isaan tattoo are identical to the cousin across the Mekong river(Lanxang River), the tattoo are mostly cover the thighs and that is the reason why we're called Lao Poung kaow and Lanna was called Lao Poung Dum because of tattoo stomach.

Patsycat Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I have two Samui tatoos after trying to cross the road between the motorbikes. One has faded but the other remains, hopefully not for the rest of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-sip-degree Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Laung Maak, Aquatic cereal grass stem’s similar to the lao kow emblem, or if that’s not it, it must be the carobao skull which undeniably must be the most famous.

Nignoy Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 A couple of weeks before I left Ban kok talat in isaan in march 1966 for the first time, the puyai baan asked me if I would accept a gift which would bring me luck and good health, and which would always be a reminder of my friends in isaan,I had visions of maybe another Amulett or intricate carving. Wrong it was a 2 day visit to Wat Amnat Charoen, where both my shoulders were tattooed quite artistically,and now looking back after 40 years, they are still working their magic, here,s to the next 40 years Nignoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
