'''[[Nipple]] [[Pocketing]]''' is the creation of a "single-hole piercing" in the nipple — quite literally a small pocket in the center of the nipple into which objects and jewelry can be inserted and worn. Nipple pockets are usually created with a [[T-bar nipple]] piercing. Once in place, the stem of the piercing (that extends forward through the nip of the nipple) is stretched, while the crossbar of the piercing is removed — thus leaving only the pocket.

: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|tatau]] or [[Moko|moko]], no assistants are required for tebori.

=== Tsuki-bori ===
Tsuki-bori is a methodology of traditional Japanese hand tattooing that, according to the records of the Tokai Tattoo Club of Japan, is a reference to the "thrust" method of tattooing based in Osaka and western prefectures.
 
=== Hane-bori ===
According to the Journal of the Tokai Tattoo Club of Japan, hane-bori is a reference to "sweep-up," a method of Tebori hand tattooing rhythms employed by artists of Tokyo and the Eastern Areas of Japan.
 
Often, the tsuki-Bori method is looked upon as a simplistic method of Tebori tattooing, less difficult to master than hane-bori.

'''<i>Shakki</i>''' 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".

Nipple Pocketing is the creation of a "single-hole piercing" in the nipple — quite literally a small pocket in the center of the nipple into which objects and jewelry can be inserted and worn. Nipple pockets are usually created with a T-bar nipple piercing. Once in place, the stem of the piercing (that extends forward through the nip of the nipple) is stretched, while the crossbar of the piercing is removed — thus leaving only the pocket.
