On her back, Angelina Jolie has a tattoo of Yant ViHan Pha Chad Sada.

The former monk inked this original Sak Yant tattoo on Angelina’s back using steel rods mounted with a surgical steel needle. It was designed by Ajarn Noo Kanpai specifically for her.

Two yants make up the intricate design; the upper is a square box with enchanted lettering within.  The four continents and the elements of earth, water, wind, and fire are represented by the Sak Yant Talisman square. Every box has text, but only Ajarn Noo can truly understand what it means because of the text’s placement within the square in relation to the other boxes.

Ajarn Noo Kanpai was flown from Bangkok to Siem Reap, Cambodia, where Angelina was filming, specifically for this particular ink. Her former partner Brad Pitt received a Buddhist sign tattooed on his stomach, while she received three Sak yant tattoos on her back. Ajarn Noo used the same ink to draw patterns on both stars “to symbolically bind them as husband and wife,” however their marriage failed after only a few months, and they divorced in September 2016.

While Angelina Jolie was working in Cambodia in 2016, she had her tattoos done by Thai ex-monk Ajarn Noo Kanpai. She received the Yant Phutson, or Yant of the Five Gods, emblem on her upper back. From ancient times to the present, Thai people have used this talisman extensively and are familiar with it. It is a multipurpose, ultimate talisman known as a Master Talisman. The Sak Yant symbolizes possessing and behaving with immense mercy toward others as well as yourself; it also symbolizes accumulating tremendous success in both the material and spiritual domains.

In honor of her first son Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt, who was born in 2001 and adopted by Angelina in 2002, Angelina Jolie has a tattoo on her left shoulder blade. The tattoo is written in Khmer, the official language of Cambodia, where Maddox was born. The prayer goes like this: “May your enemies flee from you/If you gain wealth, may it always be yours/Your beauty will be that of Apsara/May may attend, serve, and protect you, encircling you on all sides.”
