1. What Is the Headless Tiger (เสือหัวขาด)?
The Headless Tiger (Suea Hua Khad) is one of Thailand's most legendary sacred tattoo lineages. It originated at Wat Phra Phutthabat Khao Nang Nom in Chonburi Province, created by the temple's former abbot Luang Phor Wichit Siriphatho (หลวงพ่อวิชิต สิริภัทโท). Disciples who received the Headless Tiger tattoo from LP Wichit reportedly became invulnerable to weapons — a reputation so powerful that local police formally requested the master to stop tattooing. The core philosophy: "Never strike first, but no one can strike you."

5. FAQ
Q: What makes the Headless Tiger special?
A: It is one of Thailand's most storied protection lineages. LP Wichit's tattoo disciples were so invulnerable that police asked him to stop — a historical fact, not legend.
Q: What's the difference between the three metals?
A: Nava Loha (nine sacred metals) is considered the most spiritually potent alloy in Thai tradition. Silver suits those who prefer a bright finish. Copper develops a warm patina over time. All three carry identical consecration power.

A: Each piece includes a Merit Messenger Certificate of Authenticity (C001791 / C001796 / C001793) with a QR code for instant verification.
