Regarding Luang Phor Pern's tiger tattoos, he simply stated to his disciples that he liked tigers because they are powerful animals.

At that time, Luang Phor Pern extended his compassion, using his spiritual power to uphold and propagate Buddhism. With a heart full of boundless kindness, he radiated his benevolence and shared his merits with all creatures, wishing for their happiness and for them to live without harming one another. The tiger, feeling this profound compassion, became calm and sat guarding the meditation area where Luang Phor Pern was spreading his loving-kindness.

From that moment on, the tiger became a symbol of Luang Phor Pern’s spiritual power. Even though he has passed away, his amulets and sacred objects continue to be imbued with potent spiritual power. These items remain highly sought after by amulet enthusiasts due to their rarity and revered spiritual qualities.

 During Luang Phor Pern's lifetime, he practiced intense meditation and diligently followed Buddhist teachings. He also tattooed numerous disciples with the image of a leaping tiger, which became a distinctive mark of his power and grace.
