Used to tattoo cattle in ears with number set in a pliers type device (multiple pins made the number), wipe in a green or black tattoo paste, and wipe off. Wax in cows ear kept the tattoo from staining ear. Lasted the animals lifetime, and that was future leather I guess. Shine a flashlight from rear of ear to read.

I bought a little carry around file box at a yard sale. Had a  box of pens and scissors in the bottom. Included am EPT and a tattoo gun. Never know what you will find.

live skin heals over the ink, dead skin doesn't. you may get a nice picture after a lot of fiddling but the surface of the leather will be destroyed. My oldest daughter tats and i have watched as she taught the other kids on fake skin , they use rubber tp practice on. but hey if i had the inkling i would give it a go i burn pictures on leather so what the heck. Lets see what you got!!

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.
