Angelina Jolie
who loves the intricate body art of tattooing, having amassed over 15 tattoos
since she was a teenager, now has never-before-seen images of her back tattoo
all over the internet. The photos show her being tattooed by former Thai monk,
Ajarn Noo Kanpai alongside her estranged husband Brad Pitt in Siem Reap in
Cambodia.
She got three
new mystical sak yant back inkings from the Thai artist, a style which
encompasses lines of script, geometric patterns and animal shapes. Using
ancient
handheld method, the artist used steel rods mounted with a surgical
steel needle - which is supposed to be more painful but more accurate than a
tattoo gun - to apply the tattoos to the skin.
Brad Pete also
got tattooed by the monk, who tattooed the left side of his stomach with a
Buddhist symbol.
Ironically,
the tattoos they both got was supposed 'to symbolically bind them together as
husband and wife', forever, unfortunately, their marriage ended September of
the same year they got the tattoos.
Along with the
symbolic binding, the new tattoos also included two ancient Thai Buddhist
symbols and mantras, which are thought to help provide protection.
Former monk
Ajarn is reportedly based in a temple near Bangkok and his designs are said to
protect whoever has them.
