Well, a bamboo tattoo could be a tattoo of bamboo on the skin, but I think you are probably referring to the old way of tattooing with sharpened bamboo. The word tattoo comes from the Polynesian word tatau, which actually means to tap repeatedly. Still used in these modern times, but not so much, the process involved fixing a sharpened bamboo point to a flexible bamboo piece that was then tapped repeatedly with yet another piece of bamboo. This same style was used in other places with anything that could be shaped into a point, even rose thorns.

Can you get a tattoo if you have an implantable cardio defibrillator?

You can safely get a tattoo done by the traditional Japanese Teborimethod(hand tattooing) but a machine done tattoo is too risky as the electrical field of a tattoo machine can be misinterpreted by your ICD as anarrhythmia and cause it to shock you, which could kill you. The problem is finding an artist who can do hand tattooing. I searched the state of Texas for such an artist and was finally able to find one, and only a mere 50 miles from me in Tyler, Kelly's Tattoos. He uses a bamboo shaft, which he gives you when finished.
