Bamboo/Rod Tattoo By Monks In Thailand?

[media]

I have a friend visiting me in Thailand, (pattaya) in October, he has got it into his head that he wants to have one of them tatoos by the monks, with bamboo rod and crude needle stuck to it.

Hes a bit of a tattoo nutter, although ive tried to talk him out of it he is intent on getting one done.

Does anyone know where this can happen? pref in a 3 or 4 hour region of Pattaya.

Thanks.

Wat Bang Phra is pretty famous and popular, but I'm no expert. Different temples are famous for different types (Hah Thao, Gow Yaht, etc.).

I'm sure a search might yield more detail.

I have an idea Acharn Nu, based in Nonthaburi does this. His famous farang client is Angelina J. It's the 5 or 7 point tatoo on the back of the left shoulder. You'll have to ask some Thai's for the contact, however, having gone there, it is a nice place that recieves farangs.
