It's a very crude tool with a long handle and a flat plate with a very sharp tip under the plate. It is manually, continuously, hit upon to make the tiny imprint of the tip into the skin. The tip is very difficult to control and any one who can do this is considered an expert. Not many people do this type of tatooing. I saw a man do it in Hawaii. He is revered and respected with great honor.
