How to Tattoo Rabbits + Special Announcement! 

Hi there. Greetings from South Africa! Tattoo artist here and I rescue bunnies myself (I don’t tattoo them however) BUT I would like to give some tips on the tattooing part if I may. Use a tiny bit of Vaseline or ointment on the skin before tattooing. This helps the needle glide into the skin easier and prevents the ink from “running” all over the skin surfaces so you can see the lines more clearer you already did. Also it helps to wipe excess ink off easier with a paper towel afterwards and prevents dust and germs getting into the freshly tattooed parts. Do this everytime after you’ve wiped the area before going back into the skin. Very very thin layer is needed. Then the last thing. That tattoo pen is VERY noisy! Please invest in a more quieter one. Even the ones used for PMU (Permanent Make Up) is dead silent and you will most definitely be able to use those to mark the bunnies ears as well. I’m sure the noise is freaking them out more then the actually tattooing. I mean I’m cringing listening to that machine so I can imagine what it must sound like to the poor buns. There is a lot of dead quiet machines out there to use that is very affordable. Then I would just like to thank you for your very awesome affirmative videos. I’ve learned a lot from them 🤗🌸🐰

Best video EVER on how to tattoo bunnies. I watched a bunch when I was trying to learn how, and most were useless. You are awesome. I will use this as a tutorial for sure.

never would have thought i would see bunnies gettin tats. and if it was not for cut hours i would so be gettin a bunny shirt.

This video was very informative, thank you so much for making it! You did such a good job tattooing your bunnies, your letters and numbers have such clean lines. I really enjoyed watching and I’m looking forward to your next video!

Would love to hear how you keep your records!❤

Love the design of your t-shirt.

Love the shirt! I hope you make more bunny merch :)

Great tattooing job. Nice and dark! Easy to read!

Thanks your videos are so helpful you do a great job with them keep up the good work thanks

I enjoyed watching Maam!

I love watching your videos so very much! I use to raise meat rabbits, chickens and squabs when I was 10. I loved the rabbits the most, they provided my family with meat and the taste was great! I’m 84 now and a 14 year cancer survivor and can’t do much so I live vicariously through you! After watching your video’s l feel like buying some rabbits, building a hutches like yours and breeding some silver foxes. Unfortunately my body doesn’t match my mind. Keep the videos coming I love them so much, they are one of my few pleasures!!! 😘

Thank you for such an informative video! We are getting ready to start doing this with our bunnies. =) I also love how your bunnies are so calm and don't thrash around at all while you handle them! Is this just the way Silver Foxes are or do you handle all of them alot while they are growing up? We finally got a trio of Silver Foxes a few months ago and they are so calm and sweet! They don't thrash around at all. They seem to enjoy being handled and always want attention the moment they see us(I absolutely love them

Very nice video! I wish mine could look that clear but I have Netherlands and rabbits with tiny ears so my tattoos are tiny and hard to do. But my mini Rex are so easy because they have longer ears like your breeds!

Hello form Poorboys' Little Homestead. (New Sub) I just want to say this is the best informational tattoo video I have seen for tattooing with a pen. Wish I would have seen it before I attempted to Tattoo my bunnies. I'll be sharing this link in the description below my video. (Coming up in a few days) Some people make it seem like you just use the pen like you would write with a marker, but you showed how to use the pen. Thanks for the great video. God Bless!

Is there a video you guys do on troubleshooting tattoo pen? Im having trouble ever since I changed my needle and I barely get any ink into the skin

Do you change your needles out between each rabbit or do you sterilize the needles between rabbits? and if sterilizing what do you use to sterilize?

You can also use cat restraint bags that zip from the rump to the neck and usually has velcro around the neck as well. And velcro cat muzzles work like magic to help calm bunnies down.

Awesome shirt !!

Merchhh! your tats are so good! mine do not look like that hahah

Great video! Where do you get your bunny "wraps"?

keep on make your vids there amazing

I was wondering about the ear tats? By looking at your nice tats t-shirt I can see your artistic abilities. Did you start at 01 and work up from there are did you start at a random number? You definitely have one of the most informative channels on RU-vid with a variety of different subjects, all which need to be addressed. Your videos are top notch. I also enjoy the fact that you are a hands on do it yourself kind of girl!

I appreciated how you explained everything. We will be getting silver foxes too and I’m wondering what size wrap you got for your bunnies? Also, what’s the difference between the tattoo and registration(my daughter just started 4H… during Covid… and a rabbit virus, I feel clueless!!)

Can you make a video on how to change the needle please? I just got mine in the mail and followed the instructions but can’t get the tattoo grip to come off, I’m thinking it may be broke?

I Love this so much, I bought the same pen after doing lots of research and found this video perfect to help me. I don't know if you still look at comments, but does the length of needle differ from rabbit sizes? I have Polish and Tans and I'm scared to death im going to go too deep or go though the ear. Also I use an old sock I cut to help secure my polish, does that work? I haven't tattooed anyone yet because I'm worried I'm going to do it wrong.

Hi Tiffany! I am buying the tbtatts tattoo pen, im just wondering if i should buy extra replacement needles or not! Cz somebody will be bringing my stuff on hand from the US to Lebanon so I want to make sure i have everything included in my package! How long does each needle last?

Thank you so much! Please what are the dimensions of your diy velcro wrap...I would love to make one! I tattooed off an old video on RU-vid and the rabbit's ear still hangs down like it is damaged. In my defense it jumped several times and even though I had a friend holding it and wasn't beating down on the pen. It's been over 4 months😅 I used the numbing spray. I think we hit a nerve.

Also, how do you determine what letters or numbers to use? Are there rules for tattooing or is it just whatever system of letters/numbers you choose?

Ok ... dumb question: the TS = Teal Stone (?), but do you just start with something like "001" or how do you come up with your tat plan? And, what about purchasing buns that already have tats? (Love your vids!)

I'm getting into Rabbits now, and I love your channel!! I have a question. Of course my 4 year old wants a pet rabbit...is there anything wrong with keeping the buck inside, more as a pet?

How do you determine what to tattoo in their ear?

How do you come up with the numbers/letters for your bunnies when you tattoo? Do you just make anything up? Or do you have certain rules etc you have to follow there too?

I love All Things Bunnies too! Thanks for your videos, I learn so much as a Newbie!

What kind of rabbits do you breed? Do you breed neatherland dwarfs at all?

What brand of numbing spray do you use ?

😘

do you tattoo the one you dont show?

A bunny taco. Lol

What do you do with the tattoo if you sell the bunnies?

Do you tattoo rabbits that you aren't keeping, or just the ones you are keeping?

This is Danny Endel thanks for sharing ,love your smile and being happy do you mark b for buck?

Great video but I got a little motion sick, lol.

Hello idol. Pls shout out from general santos city philippines

Hey friend! We acquired some pedigreed bunnies, and their tattoos are really faded, can I go over them again? And I have one buck who’s tattoo is in a really bad spot (the tip of his ear), absolutely tiny and super faded so it can’t be read. Can I move it to the center of his ear or will that be a disqualification in shows?

Why not green ink? What was said?

Is a show rabbit, pet or meat

Wow nice merch... MA you should use gloves just make a clean hands
