FAQ
What is tattoo slapper ink used for?
It is used with a tattoo slapper to apply permanent identification marks to livestock. The needles puncture the skin and the ink is carried into those punctures to form the mark.
Do I apply the ink to the animal or to the slapper?
Load the ink onto the slapper digits before striking, then rub any surplus into the marked area afterwards to help the pigment settle.
Will it work with my existing tattoo slapper?
It is intended for standard tattoo slappers and slap markers that use interchangeable needle digits. Check your digit size and block fitting before ordering replacements.
Does the ink stain skin and clothing?
Yes. The ink is made to be long lasting, so wear gloves and old clothing and protect surrounding surfaces while marking.
How should the ink be stored?
Keep the container firmly closed between uses and store it out of reach of children and animals, away from feed.
Why is my mark coming out faint?
Faint marks are usually caused by too little ink on the digits, a dirty or damp marking area, blocked needles or a glancing blow. Clean the digits, dry the area and strike squarely.
