South East Asia is reputated for it's unique and traditional use of bamboo tattoo. Ink marks take the form of mantras and various gods of the buddhist panteon. Originally they were done by priest and monks. The tattoos are used for protection, or to show one's position in society.
During a trip to Thailand, Bikas learned the bamboo tattoo technique. Back in Kathmandu, he is one of the first nepalese to offer bamboo tattoo in a shop.
