Its where they tape the needles to a piece of bamboo and do the tattoo manually rather than having a machine do the tapping stroke for the needles. It takes longer but alot less skin stress.

Dear (and Sammy) readers - what is a bamboo tattoo? Is it done with bamboo or tattooed onto the 'old bamboo' ? Come on you Mary Poppins' fans - keep up!
I am sure all will be revealed in the next blog from Thailand but - until it is why don't we speculate and think where - how - and on what part of the anatomy this may be?
Come on Sam spill the beans!
Derek
Sam loved the recent photos but how come everyone looks tanned and yet you look like a hard drinking, pink Northern film extra on that programme Benidorm? What are you on? Factor 2000 sun cream or what!

Hi Sam and Suzi - found your blog really entertaining, I think you are turning into a literary genius Sam, what happened? I am concerned with your digestive system, your obviously need to be extra careful with your eating habits! Sounds like you're packing in loads to do it must be tiring but great memories to be had. My brother came down on Monday for his birthday and he's doing really well, we had a really good day. Ellie Prior has been in hospital with possible viral meningitis, the hospital are still carrying out lots of tests, so let's hope all will be well for her. All is well with everyone else, winter has finally hit the UK so lucky you two. Keep well, lots of love Mumxx

Hi Sam, phoned the bank for you, they said just use ATM as you would at home, you didnt need to let them know. If however you have any probs, phone the international number on the back of your card, I can see by your photos that you and Suzi are having a great time. All fine at home, Alfies typing skills coming along, Ha HA.must teach Angel next. Jemma had a scan, baby is fine, Dad thinks it looks like a boy, HUH !! , not quite sure what he saw as the scan didnt show those bits..Too many ciders me thinks, Hes well, working hard at mo. Well hun ,give my love to Suzi, and take care you two xx

Sammy - dealt with your concern - check your emails - all will be explained. Love the blog/pictures etc. Laos is pants but I've seen worse. Man U drew 3-3 last night with the Ruskies at Old Trafford and so are into the knock out stages of the Champions League. Ben will be back on line after the weekend so I will connect him to the contact points. Ordering the new Jam Jar next week. Sorry about the tummy probs - goes with the territory of long distance travel!
Miss you both, D.
