Every long-term visitor to Koh Samui eventually gets one…

It’s called the “Samui Tattoo.”

You don’t get it in a tattoo parlour. You usually get it after a scooter crash. And a few weeks ago… I got mine.

Nothing broken thankfully — just bruises, road rash… and what the locals call the Samui Tattoo.

Basically a scar that reminds you Thailand scooters are not toys.

The Ridiculous Part: A Heart-Shaped Scar

But here’s the ridiculous part… When it healed… Mine turned into a perfect LOVE ❤️ HEART. I swear. Out of all the shapes it could have been… The universe gave me a heart. Maybe I’m reading too much into it. Or maybe it’s because this island has completely stolen my heart anyway.

It’s given me:

  • Sunrises
  • Sea air
  • Island life
  • Ridiculous adventures

And now apparently… A permanent souvenir. The legendary Samui Tattoo.

So be honest… If you’ve spent time in Thailand — Do you have a Samui Tattoo yet? Or am I officially in the club now? 😂
