Tattoos in other countries...
Hello i am from England where tattoo are very big, i would like to get a tattoo in Khmer before i go to Cambodia travelling.

What i am trying to get translated is 'i have seen more than i remember and remember more than i have seen'.

Any help would be great. What do people from Cambodia think about tattoos, are they common?

Hello, Ant Fulford, I must say your message is rather interesting. The phrase is 'khuyn jrawn jiang jam jam jrawn jiang khuyn'. I could write it and send it to you, but I will have to leave it up to you to contact me, as I am not a gold member. Tatoos are common place in khmer (Cambodian) culture, but are used mostly for supernatural rites of protection and strength.
