They can't get done til they're at least 6 weeks old, the ear has to be big enough for the tat, took less than a minute per pup and afterwards they just carried on playing about in garden like nothing happened

 

if you dont ask you dont learn good luck with the one you keep you deserve it

The tattoo is done all in one go with a crimp like clamp so the ear has to be big enough to get the whole number/letters on. Once crimped they smear an ink over the inside of the ear which dyes the freshly broken skin, after a few days the excess ink comes off and the detailed tattoo can be clearly seen.

 

I've had a litter done in the past and they do squeel like crazy but soon forget about it. The ink also has a soothing painkiller added so once applied it takes the sting away.

 

Tattoo's (from my experience) are a little more distressing than getting them microchipped but the reasurrance of permanent identification is worth the few seconds of pain whichever method you use.

no reasurrance really didnt stop mine getting nicked

Sorry to hear that mate.................. no it doesn't stop thieving scumbags but it gives a better chance of getting a dog back than just a tag on a collar or nothing but a photo to pass about.
