  • 3/8" Standard Tattoo Plier Kit (includes digits 0-9)

    3/8" Standard Tattoo Plier Kit (includes digits 0-9)

Crafted from Strong, lightweight aluminum alloy the plier holds 4 digits and It comes with set of numerals (0-9) and a 1 oz tube of green tattoo paste. The pliers are designed to be lightweight, reducing hand fatigue during extended use, which is crucial for clear and precise tattooing. The ear release feature is a significant advantage, ensuring that the needles disengage cleanly from the ear, preventing smudging and promoting a clear, permanent mark. The kit's ease of use and the quality of the imprint make it a staple in livestock identification, aiding in tracking and record-keeping for herd management. With the addition of nitrile gloves and ink included the tattoo plier kit is a comprehensive solution for the identification needs of sheep, pigs, goats, rabbits, and other livestock. When using a tattoo plier for livestock identification, it's crucial to follow best practices to ensure the markings are clear, permanent, and safe for the animals. 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. Lastly, prioritize human safety while working around the animals, as proper restraint is essential to prevent injuries. ‍

  • 3/8" A-Z Digits for Tattoo Plier

    3/8" A-Z Digits for Tattoo Plier

    The 3/8" A-Z digits for tattoo pliers are a crucial tool for livestock management, allowing for the permanent identification of animals for breeding, health care, and regulatory compliance. These digits are typically made from durable materials like stainless steel to ensure the markings remain legible for the animal's lifetime. The quality of these digits is paramount as they must resist wear and tear, maintain sharpness to ensure clear imprints, and be easy to clean to prevent infection. The use of these digits with a compatible tattoo plier ensures a quick and efficient process, causing minimal discomfort to the animal.  Tattoo pliers offer a range of benefits for livestock management, primarily serving as a permanent method of identification. This is essential for tracking breeding records, health, and growth over time. Unlike other methods, tattoos do not need frequent replacement or maintenance, making them cost-effective in the long run. The process is relatively quick and simple, requiring less preparation compared to branding. When used correctly with high-quality ink, tattoos are distinctive, permanent, and comply with animal identification legislation and breed regulations. Additionally, tattooing with pliers is adaptable to various livestock and can be performed with minimal infrastructure. 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 ‍
