Looking to get a tattoo system, and would like some opinions please on which is better and why. Nigerian Dwarf goats so it will go in the ear. Tks.
 
We have one from Jeffers that we like for out NDs called "Small Animal Tattoo Release" 5/16 size. We ordered some green paste ink and a few extra letters too. All for less than $40. :D

Have you ever had to re-tatoo one? We've got one now that you can't read all of the herd name "OF". Afraid if we just re-do it it will be all messed up.

Your's has the little needes right?
 
Never had to redo one yet.

The needles are fine and the green paste shows up nicely on our black doe's ears. The only complaint I had was that one of the extra letter's we ordered had a weird shape to the plastic backing so it did not sit in the tray nicely but they replaced it for us.
 
If I were you I would get a tatoo pen. People buy them for tatooing bunnies and I have personally tattoes mine with these. I LOVE THEM! They work awesome, you do it just like you are writing with a pen and it lastssssss forever!!!!!!
 
I've never heard of a tattoo pen, do you get them from the same suppliers as tattoo kits? Sounds way easier for sure.
 
You can get them from most other suppliers that sell the other tattoo kits as well. They are by far the best choice. They are about $50 but so worth it! You can pick from several different colors of ink. You just dip the tip in the ink and write away :)
 
Just ordered the pen from Hoeggers. PITA that they don't seem to deliver to Canada, but my niece lives in California, so having it sent there and she will send it on to me. Also ordered a cheese vat because I am finally about to have does to milk. Kids are four and five weeks old now so have separated them from their Mamas for the first time tonight and tomorrow, we milk!!
