I grabbed a free magazine from a mall back in May this year that had an article in it about Thai tattoos. I don't have one of these tattoos myself and don't plan on getting one, but I thought it would be of interest to you guys.
This is from the May14-20, 2010 issue of Guru magazine, a free weekly magazine here in Bangkok.
You can either download the PDF and read it at full size (well as much of the magazine as my scanner would allow):

The rules are very extreme but the tattoos are beautiful.

Very interesting find. I'd heard about thai tattoos but only in passing. The designs are beautiful and I agree the rules are rough but the pay off is great. Great find David!
