In Chon Buri, young people queued up in front of Skin Art Tattoo shop on Chalermprakiat Sai 2 Road, in Pattaya beach resort town, where five tattoo artists offered their services for free from Oct 15-17. The artists also wanted to do a good deed and pay tribute to the late King, so they were offering their inking skills to the people for free. With so many people wanting a tattoo the shop had to limit the number to 50 people on each of the three days. In Khon Kaen, tattoo lovers also flocked to a local shop for patterns featuring images of His Majesty and words expressing their feeling for the King. Korakot Phoklang, owner of Noom Tattoo shop, said clients arrived at his shop every day to have messages and images of King Bhumibol tattooed on their skin.
