Khan tang
ขันตั้ง
The fee, set by the master, presented in a bowl: flowers, candles, incense, cloth, coins, and whatever else that master's line asks for.
The rites
The fee, the day, the vows, the food not eaten and the words said over the needle.

The rules
ข้อห้าม
A yant works while its bearer keeps the rules that came with it — most often a list of foods not eaten and things not done.
Bearing it
In tradition after tradition the pain is not a side effect of the mark. It is the thing being demonstrated.
When it is done
The date is rarely free. Most traditions on this site fix the work to a passage the person is making anyway.

Who holds you still
Nobody is tattooed alone. The room is part of the method.
