Here's what our website says:

"MICRO-TATTOOING RODENTS
Permanent identification is essential for proper record keeping and the
maintenance of rodent colonies. Micro-tattooing is an alternative to
toe-clipping as a method of permanent identification of rodents. This
method is safe and easy to administer. Please review the following
website for more information regarding the technique:
http://www.ketchum.on.ca/aramis1.html#Importance. If you are interested
in learning more about this technique, please contact Sherri Goss at
XXX-XXX-XXXX to set up a training session."

The link in the above paragraph is incorrect.  Try here:
http://www.ketchum.on.ca/pages/lab_animals/lab1.htm for the machine
that's recommended.

Sherri's e-mail is slgoss**At_Symbol_Here**ucdavis.edu and I'm sure she'll be happy to
chat with you.

Hope this helps,
Debbie

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Tatooing safety

I have a researcher who wants to buy an animal tatooing system. I'm
looking for information about safety for the tatooer. Aside from the
needlestick potential, does anyone have any suggestions or information
about safety issues related to tatooing?

Thanks,
