Tattooing instruments consist of flat, chisel-shaped pieces of bone.
They are 2 to 4 centimeters in width and filed sharp at one end to
form a comb-like series of pointed teeth.
The tool is dipped in an oil and soot mixture and placed on the skin.�
A mallet is then used to tap and strike the tool, pushing the pigment into the skin.
