Thai Tattoo Artists Offer Their Services In Remembrance Of Late King

The tattoo artists of Pattaya, Khon Kaen, and Chon Buri in Thailand are paying tribute to their deceased King Bhumibol in the only way they know how — free tattoos that express loyalty to the King.

The King died on October 13, 2016 and is being widely mourned by the people of Thailand, so these tattoo artists thought they'd pay their respects by giving free tattoos to people who wanted to honor the late King with a tattoo.

People flocked to get their King Bhumibol tattoos.

The free tattoo designs include the number nine, the national flag, a map of the country, and other symbols that would pay tribute to the King and country.

The response has been overwhelming. People flocked to the tattoo parlors to get the free tattoos and pay their respects to their deceased monarch. The monarch was highly revered by the people and many considered him "divine."

King Bhumibol was the longest reigning monarch in Thailand's history, with his coronation happening in 1950, and reigning up until the time of his death. He worked with 30 prime ministers and was considered one of the richest monarchs in the world, with his worth being estimated at $30 billion.

There is no better way to pay your respects to a leader you admire than getting that leader's image and messages tattooed on your body. Let's just wait to see how many Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump tattoos come out of this election.
