Traditional Japanese style as it not using a machine!!!

Tebori is traditional Japanese hand tattooing. Many artists praise it for its ability
to create subtle gradations of tone that are difficult to achieve with a machine. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tebori

The word tebori comes from te meaning 'hand' and hori or horu, 'to carve, sculpt or
inscribe. 'The word used to describe the technique of tattooing that arose in the late
18th and early 19th century in Japan, with the appearance of professional tattoo artists
in the capital city of Edo. Steel needles, usually of greater diameter and steeper shoulder
than those used in the West, are arranged in rows, singly or stacked, and are tied to a
long handle of bamboo. This tool is held in the right hand, with the fingers of the left used
to spread the skin to be tattooed. 
The shaft of the tebori tool rests on the thumb of the left hand and the needles inserted by
the force of forward movement of the right arm of the tattoo artist. Unlike many other forms
of hand-tattooing in Asia such as tatau or moko, no assistants are required for tebori. With
greater understanding of cross contamination and bloodborne pathogens, in modern times
the needle groups used for tebori are detachable from the tool, so they may be single use,
and the handle is generally made from steel or titanium, allowing it to be autoclaved.
In Japanese, tebori is the opposite of kikaibori, or tattooing with a Western-style
electric machine.
