Sak Yant Studio · Breda, Netherlands — 2h from Cologne
Authentic Sak Yant Tattoofor clients from Germany
Every year, clients from Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Berlin travel to Sakyan Studio in Breda for an authentic Sak Yant tattoo with a complete spiritual ceremony. There is no comparable alternative in Germany.
Why German clients travel to Breda for Sak Yant
Our German clients come from all over Germany — Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg and Berlin. They make the journey because there is no studio in Germany that performs the full spiritual Sak Yant ceremony.
A Sak Yant is not an ordinary tattoo. It is an ancient Thai Buddhist tradition where each design is accompanied by prayer, mantras and a sacred blessing.
From Cologne or Düsseldorf: 2 hours by car. Browse our available designs or book directly.
About the MasterSilas van Gemert –
Silas van Gemert –
A Life Devoted to Sak Yant
Silas van Gemert (°1977, Vlissingen) left the Netherlands at 17 to travel to Australia. His spiritual quest led him to Thailand, where he lived and worked for 15 years, learning the Thai language and submitting to the discipline of Buddhist monks.
He received the sacred blessing that grants him the right to place Sak Yant tattoos. His spiritual journey also took him to Brazil, Hawaii and Jerusalem.
Today, Silas is Europe's leading Sak Yant master, working from his studio in the heart of Breda, Netherlands.
A Sak Yant is not just a tattoo. It is an ancient spiritual tradition that can change your life. Silas has guided more than 500 people from across Europe through this unique ritual. Every tattoo is one of a kind — tailored to the person, their intention, and the type of protection they seek.
Our Philosophy
With more than 25 years of experience, he has mastered the traditional hand-poke technique to perfection. This is not a style you simply learn — it is a craft that requires years of dedication, discipline and respect for tradition.
