Fans of classic Japanese tattoos - this post is for you.

Do you know how to make traditional Japanese tattoos? That's right, at a time when there were no electric tattoo machines, all the tattoos were done with a special bamboo stick - tebori.

Masters using this tool claim that such a manual method allows you to get a more subtle gradation of tones in a tattoo. Traditional tebori tattoos really take a lot of time, turning the process of painting the body into an entire ritual.

The machine can save a lot of time, but the spirit and traditions so honored by many fans of oriental tattoos lost from this, isn't it?
