Neat tattoo pen!

[LindseysWoolies]

Someone on a rabbit facebook group invented their own tattoo pen.

"This pen was designed by myself and my father, who has been a tattoo artist for over 20 yrs. Just one try of this pen and you will see the difference. It has been specialty designed to make clean straight lines. Color of pen may vary as seen in the picture.
Only $30ea + 4.95 shipping"

That head is rather interesting and I'd expect a tattoo artist to have a solid grasp of the requirements for this piece of equipment. This looks like something I'd want to have around

 

[LindseysWoolies]

I have been thinking about getting one. I have the Rabbitat and I always end up with ragged thin lines and I have to redo them all the time. It's also super hard in my breed with their 2" long little ears to do a tattoo. I think this would help.

 

[Oceanrose]

I just ordered one... I'll update everyone on how it is, and when I get it. Out of the 11 rabbits here, only 2 are tattooed, so I should get plenty of practice..

 

[Bad Habit]

I've been thinking I'd like a tattoo pen, especially if I hope to get into showing eventually.

Another toothbrush, only difference that seems to keep changing is the needle head. Why is that?
I slightly altered my Equatat and it's perfect now. Though, for $30, the KBtatts is $10-15 cheaper than mine, also much prettier...
I want to spray paint mine now...=D

Probably has to do with the needle...the more individual needles it has, the thicker the line. Yours is likely a 3....I have a 5 for my Inkinator, like this one does, and it makes better lines.

I saw that and am planning to order one after christmas. I am going to order a replacement needle and see if it will fit mine.

I want a sparkly tattoo pen!

Those look very nice. The Inkinator has a metal sleeve, but it is very similar in design. That is a very fair price. I can't wait to hear the reviews!

 

[BlueLove16]

Oh! Something else to color coordinate my rabbit supplies!!! They make it look super easy. Hoping i can find someone to help my first time

 

[MamaSheepdog]

I just watched the video- I am going to try applying a small amount of ointment to the ear prior to tattooing my next rabbits and see if it helps.

 

[Oceanrose]

My tattoo pen came today, I am on my way out of town, but I stopped what I was doing to tattoo one bunny. Worked really well, but we'll see when I get back in a week whether or not it sticks. Bunny didn't even move a muscle.

I ordered the tattoo pen, an extra needle, and a bottle of ink.

This is what came:

A cute little holder with foam inserts

2 needles
tattoo pen
ink
a skin marker
2 ink wells

I'm pretty pleased, it came quickly, and with more than I expected. For less than the other brands.

 

[BlueLove16]

very nice.

how long does one needle last?

 

[Oceanrose]

OK, here is the tattoo with the pen about 2 weeks after I did it.

I have never used a tattoo pen before, but followed the directions on the video.

 

[MamaSheepdog]

That looks great! Nice penmanship. The true test will be in a couple months to see if it fades.

I ordered some human grade ink and other supplies from a vendor on Amazon yesterday, and it shipped today.

It's been a while since Oceanside Angoras has first tested the KBtatts Tattoo Pen. Can I ask how's the tattoo holding up? I'm researching rabbit tattoo pens and I'm thinking about getting one of these. Anybody else have experience or suggestions of good yet inexpensive tattoo pens? This one or others?
Thanks,
Crystal

...Topical Numbing Anesthetic DURING Tattoo Lidocaine Painless Spray 1oz...

That's a good idea, MamaSheepdog! I wonder if Bactine has enough Lidocaine for helping to numb the critter's ear?

My KBTatts pen came in, but I haven't used it yet. I was going to practice on our pet rabbit, but thought it would be better to wait until the meat rabbits are born. I eventually want to tattoo CJ's name in her ear, but I want it to look good too. Meat buns seem like a good practice canvas and if any turn out to be exceptional, they'll already have identification.

Hi Crystal!

:welcomewagon:

I believe the longevity of the tattoo depends on the ink used, not the method. The tattoos I did with the Kuro Sumi ink mentioned on the prior page are still dark and be-yoo-tee-ful!

Here is one of the bunnehs I did back in December:

I haven't heard of using Bactine, but some people use Oral numbing gel (Orajel). I used that in the past myself- I bought an off-brand at Walmart. Amusingly enough, "Orajel" had several varieties, regular, extra strength, and Maximum Relief, with progressively fancier packaging, and escalating prices... but all had 20% Benzocaine, which is the active ingredient! :lol: So be sure to check the level of active ingredient, and don't be fooled!

Meat buns seem like a good practice canvas and if any turn out to be exceptional, they'll already have identification.

I tattoo all of my litters at weaning, because I separate them according to sex when they go in the growout pens. I usually have several litters at a time, so need to know who's who. It's good practice, too!

I had read somewhere (completely forgot where thanks to my terrible memory) that you can practice on a banana peel they are supposed to be similar to a rabbits ears but I haven't tried it so I wouldn't know for sure ~shrug~
