'''''Tebori''''' (手彫り) is traditional Japanese hand [[Tattoo|tattooing]]. Many artists praise it for its ability to create subtle gradations of tone that are difficult to achieve with a machine. [[Adam Guy]] adds:

: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.
The nipples are the protrusion on the chests of men and women, serving to deliver milk during lactation. This milk is made by glands behind and surrounding the nipple, although only about 1/3 of men have enough breast tissue (this condition is known as [[Gynecomastia|gynecomastia]]) to actually lactate (almost all women are able) — lactation is usually hormonally triggered, so [[Eunuch|eunuchs]] not taking [[Testosterone|testosterone]] may start to lactate.  As a point of trivia, an excess of male hormones can destroy the breast tissue. These glands empty out of the nipple via the lactiferous ducts (milk ducts) and the areola (the surrounding pigmented area) also secretes a fluid to protect the nipple. If the milk ducts are blocked by scarring from a piercing, infections can be trapped inside, resulting in [[Mastitis|mastitis]].
: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|tatau]] or [[Moko|moko]], no assistants are required for tebori.
:With greater understanding of [[Cross contamination|cross contamination]] and [[Bloodborne pathogens|bloodborne pathogens]], in modern times the needle groups used for Tebori are detachable from the tool, so they may be [[Single use|single use]], and the handle is generally made from [[Surgical stainless steel|steel]] or [[Titanium|titanium]], allowing it to be autoclaved.
:In Japanese, ''Tebori'' is the opposite of ''kikaibori'', or tattooing with a Western-style electric machine.

Nipples are also sexual organs in both men and women, and in most people's become erect when stimulated (or cold). This happens due to a contraction of muscles covering the nipple.

: outline of a tattoo, "Suji" meaning “line.”
 
= Shakki =
'''''Shakki''''' is the sound of Tebori tattoo, referring to the sound when needles puncture skin. Tattooing by hand in Japan should be done by puncturing the skin with the needles gently, adjusting the strength of the hands. Human skin is very soft and elastic. As the needles leave the skin, one can hear the sound "shakki". If one tattoos smoothly, you can hear a rhythmical sound like "sha, sha, sha"- thus, "Shakki".

The nipples are the protrusion on the chests of men and women, serving to deliver milk during lactation. This milk is made by glands behind and surrounding the nipple, although only about 1/3 of men have enough breast tissue (this condition is known as gynecomastia) to actually lactate (almost all women are able) — lactation is usually hormonally triggered, so eunuchs not taking testosterone may start to lactate. As a point of trivia, an excess of male hormones can destroy the breast tissue. These glands empty out of the nipple via the lactiferous ducts (milk ducts) and the areola (the surrounding pigmented area) also secretes a fluid to protect the nipple. If the milk ducts are blocked by scarring from a piercing, infections can be trapped inside, resulting in mastitis.

Nipples are also sexual organs in both men and women, and in most people's become erect when stimulated (or cold). This happens due to a contraction of muscles covering the nipple.
