It's important to use the correct equipment and maintain cleanliness to prevent infection and ensure the legibility of the tattoos Tattooing an animal using pliers is a precise process that requires attention to detail to ensure the tattoo is permanent and legible. Begin by assembling the necessary equipment: tattoo pliers, the correct set of digits, tattoo ink, and cleaning supplies such as alcohol and rags. First, secure the animal in a chute or head catch to minimize movement. Clean the ear with alcohol to remove any dirt or wax, and ensure it's dry. Insert the chosen digits into the pliers and test the alignment on a piece of cardboard. When ready, position the pliers on the part of the ear that is light in color and free from hair, avoiding any ribs or veins. Apply firm pressure to ensure the needles penetrate the skin. Immediately after, rub tattoo ink into the punctured area, which helps in marking the digits and promotes healing due to the antiseptic properties of the ink. Clean and dry the equipment after use to maintain its condition for future applications. Set of letters for 3/8˝ Standard tattoo plier Exchangeable with Stone pliers

Begin by restraining the animal securely, preferably in a squeeze chute, and clean the ear with rubbing alcohol to remove any wax or debris that could affect the tattoo's clarity. It's advisable to clip hair from the tattoo area for better visibility and to prevent interference with the ink. Use a halter for additional control if necessary. When applying the tattoo, make sure the digits are correctly aligned and the pliers are set firmly to ensure the ink penetrates the skin adequately. After tattooing, use a toothbrush or similar tool to rub more ink into the punctures, enhancing the permanence of the mark. Disinfect the equipment between animals to maintain biosecurity measures. Regularly check the tattoos for legibility, as hair growth can cause fading over time.
