A Yantra tattoo is a form of magical tattoo. It was once widely practiced throughout Asia- most commonly in Cambodia where the tattoo's purpose is primarily for self-protection. Many Cambodians believe that yantras have magical powers to ward off evil spirits. It is believed to be one of the most powerful ways to ensure good fortune with these sacred tattoos. With the ever increasing modernization this practice is becoming less common. Despite Cambodia's modernity, it's culture is still pervaded by superstition and it's religious traditions are quite tolerant of these older beliefs.
