An English Egyptologist discovered two different types of ancient tattoo tools in Egypt. The first type was a wood-handled tattoo instrument with a sharp point, dating back to 3000 B.C., found in Abydos, Egypt. The second type of tattoo kit, discovered in Gurob(is an archeological site, where a sun temple built by the people of ancient Egypt was found.) , were made of bronze, in a shape similar to needles. In modern tattooing, some tattoo needles are referred to as "flats," and the ancient bronze tattoo instruments look like flat and wide needles in a group.

A Tailandian tool, the monks perform a tattoo ritual known as a Sak Yant*, because they believed that tattoo will bring luck, protection, happiness, strength... Monks still perform this ancient form of tattooing today. A stick of bamboo, usually 6 to 12 inches in length, is one tool used to
perform the tattoo. On one end of the bamboo stick is a sharp point
that looks like a quill. The sharp point is split into two pieces to
deliver ink into the skin.
Maori Chisel
The Maori of New Zealand used bone chisels to carve designs straight into the flesh. History website explains that the Maori tribe regarded the head as the most sacred part of the body. The fact that women only received facial tattoos, mainly around the lips, chin and nostrils. The entire face of the man was tattooed. The Maori used a chisel made of bone to cut lines and shapes in the
skin. After the lines were cut, the Maori would tap the chisel, with the
edge dipped in pigment, into the lines.
