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.

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.
