A man shows tattoos on his body at Wat Bang Phra in Nakhon Pathom province, about 80 km (50 miles) from Bangkok, on March 2, 2012. Thousands of believers from across Thailand travel to the monastery to attend the annual tattoo festival to have their bodies adorned with tattoos and to pay their respects to the temple's master tattooist. They believe the tattoos have mystical powers, warding off bad luck and protecting them from harm. (Photo by Sukree Sukplang/Reuters)
