The Buddhist monk Luang Phor Pern, known as the creator of spiritual tattoos, passed away in 2002 at the age of 79, but still has a strong following, particularly during the annual ceremony. During the ceremony, some devotees were seen undergoing a phenomenon where they seemed to embody the spirit of the animals depicted in their tattoos. (Photo by Chalinee Thirasupa/Reuters)
