Tattooing requires a lot of patience as even a small tattoo can take hours to complete In Samoa Tattoo artists use a hand powered instrument to make tattoos on the body These tools are made of organic substances such as a mallet and combs made from pig teeth The ink they use in tattooing is a mixture of water and the ashes of candlenuts or burnt lama nuts The combs are dipped in the dye and are struck by the mallet to imprint the skin This is indeed one of the most interesting traditional tattooing techniques around Irezumi Is the Japanese traditional tattooing technique.
