So You Want A Japanese Tebori Tattoo | Tattoo Styles

[Music] Tabora is a technique and the tap warriors means him poke use the hand with the handle but the back the time the handle is use a mage's bamboo for the traditional Japanese tattoo the basically the design and the idea as it is getting from woodblock prints the rules I think the rules that come from from the color it's because the fact that I'm we don't have much color because it's a from the Nara ink that which is like different colors like say it's not stone it's this kind of made up I smoke what I say the stick and make it by smoke XA black smoke is like a oil and you've burned the oil and it come out of smoke it's black right so they collect to collect those oils and then those are smoked and then to make that that's a stick so they have different colors but there's not much colors at the red color because the popular so that the color that popular and then so this is everyone pretty much can have that color but let's say comes to the gold has to be certain levels like say try again with a gold dragon the Green Dragon and the red dragon stuff like that as my style I mix with a traditional technique and also that new school it is illustrative design into it the factor time I only do a very poor line because the poor line goes forever right so I really really appreciate the whole school styles but now because I'm in the States for 20 years more than 20 years yes I think there's a lot of the realism and illustrative style inference [Music] back in 1987 I was a mess around but my friends and the classmates you know and we just was seeing on the TV that people has looked so cool as a you know tattoo to see no teenage time we just mess around so I use you know sewing needles we won't get the posted we'll talk about one get tattoos stuff like that and then we use the sewing needles deep with the Nara ink I was cold zooming so he was a phishing threat and to tighten up all the needles and start doing the small tattoo the kanji or symbolic for the you know the neighborhood were you from stuff like that I was getting tattooed by the tattoo artists which is I I would call him as a mentor because after that I learned it's about six months learning how to saw in the needles soldering needles and other stuff together I call him as a mentor so I don't call him as master the reason is I didn't get my holy name to get the holy you have to complete with apprenticeship but which is I've been through the four different artists now which is I didn't complete it and Oreo Street third he is not just a legend to me it's like a like hero to me you know he helped me a lot we talk about the holy name right so people know me it's Jesse N and some people know me as a holy yet 2009 or 2010 no it's a long time ago so I asked him for kindly to recognize of my Holy Name I won't say my selves old-timer you know I'm close to 50 so it is important to me so the design you know I sent the flow and the cutting I still keep the same but inside the desire make it more more three-dimensional and I try to make more like more layers and more depth supporting cannot do those kind of quality like more like close to the realism or illustrative styles this has been done made by machine so I'll say this this work is like maybe say 60/40 60% done by machines but I still want to do somehow some part to still keep in traditional ways desires that comes up before anything else design and a concept the art is a sentence that's was before anything else that's the mind I spend most my time to figure things out so I spend one week to only think about how to do this image and how to make the composition how to make the flow and that's it's a lot of study because they just come from nowhere and they tell you you know I want like say I want to koi fish I put this way I want to try again okay you want to try again but how's the dragon kind of look like doing one dragon is very simple but when you're doing 5,000 dragon and you want that each dragon look different that's a challenging the koifish is represent good luck and because the koifish is against the water doesn't the koifish nature so their nature is against the water especially with on the waterfall and swimming against the waters going up and so that's represent the person that who worked so hard and never gives up and the try again is represents unlimited power and the tiger is represent the brave the tiger climbing down as a show either release the power and the climb going up it's like you know just success and the working heart and torch to the goal Phoenix is rebirth just like American tattoos that butterfly its his chest formation back to time in Asia not only Japan even Korea even China even its whatever is in there in Asia tattoo is like a taboo things and also that I think is remain sound health today most likely is like they will consider it's a crime or as consider is a gangster's right so you can tattoo a full bag of dragon it means your boss you're somebody so this smooth and solid but you see the color is not that bright is the difference yeah so this is much brighter and more saturated it's not because deeper it's because as as a higher density it's not back and forth is every stroke every touching is already pick up the high density of the skin already is a pick up a lot of colors and maybe there is a people they asked the question is tattoo hurting more or a tapori hurting more the reasons most people tell me that tattoo machine is hurting more it's because the speed because a faster and there is no break so when you do the hemp pulp and antibody style then you gotta have you know between every stroke you have gap so it depends on the needle so the more needles so every stroke pick up more skins [Music] this is handle and this one that's Korean sorry so this is a little part and this a cent extenders in the third part this is still Iser as well yeah but this you gotta have made pretty much is handmade and I miss Antonito but normal machine Nino is about two layers this is three layers seven guys carving that's all by hand so the one person knew the dragon look and the second person through the scales third person do details you know so that cost me a lot of money and time to make the handle so this is supposed to spy helping power requirement pretty much everything else track down all the way it's not legally in help for the healthy Department in USA it's not legal because for the bamboo wise you can put a steel lighter sterilizer is a high pressure also it's a high temperature right it's a heat so that will burn the hope and blew out become ashes and probably the whole thing you're praying there it's come only needles right so that's why we start changing it so this early this year in California I talked to the health department and finally which is gather improvement it's about six hours of long process of the meeting and talking and finally we got that you know brought in to the state's no I got a you know just show off a little bit because that parts I think I do help a lot support artists this time especially when it comes to the states when they want to do the tapori and then use their traditional ways a style to do work the tools it's gonna be has a be metal you got a changing it back the time in Asia they use the hand made tattoo but there is no like professional machine not coil machine right so when the culture brained here and there was still produce the same idea in the same design right but with the machine no more use the handmade so use machine why faster it's like McDonald's faster but you know quiet bet that loose the value of the history but you know just a little bit I mean the tradition of the values even in Asia everybody used machine now you know not a lot of people still remain even myself that's how I started I started the really first business in 1992 of the being doing the toppling tattoos and with the with the other rotary machines and then and after a change you to coil machines you know handmade is more value right Hemmings Eluga cooler Hey and I don't think because Tapley is take years of practice [Music]
