This Tattooer comes with a cap that pro-
tects it during shipping or when you go
to a show.
It goes over the barrel, just on the very
tip. Just pop the cap off to use the tat-
tooer. It’s easy to replace it after cleaning. Be
sure that the needle is in the down position before
putting the cap back on. Less likely to damage
the points this way.
INK: Shake well, and put the flat cap back on
when done to keep the ink from drying out. This
ink should last for 2 years, but if it gets dried out
you can use ethanol alcohol to rejuvenate it. Put
the ink well into something like foam for stabil-
ity.. Extra ink can be poured back into the bottle.
A few drops of ink will go a long ways. Be sure
to have enough ink in the well so that you are not
hitting the bottom of the well with the needle.
That can damage your needle more
quickly. You want to rest the edge of the
tattooer on the lip of the well.
15
move the barrel up or down. At the top on the up-
stroke the needle should show 1/16 of an inch. That’s
not a lot, about the thickness of a dime, you don’t want
to see any more than that. Move the barrel just a tiny
bit at a time, running the motor between each setting.
The set screw is made of nylon and can be damaged
very easily with a metal screwdriver. I actually use
my thumbnail so I don’t over-tighten the screw. Hard
on thumbnails.. But worth it.
Don’t forget to clean out your little inkwell. If you
have a lot of ink left you can pour it back into the bot-
tle. Otherwise just wash it with hot water down the
sink. A couple of drops of it will do a lot of tattoos.
When putting the tattooer away, make sure all is dry
and the needle is in the down position, you can’t see it
when looking at the barrel. Then put it into the box
and now put it on the shelf. It will be ready for you
next time.
Changing the Batteries is very easy—2 AA, very com-
mon— mine have lasted up to three months with a lot
of use.

After the needle is in place, take the
head, get a good strong light behind
you and THREAD the needle
carefully through the barrel.
The barrel is cut at an angle so the
needle can be laid against it and slid
carefully up the barrel until the head
is seated onto the motor, then turn the head clockwise
until the arrows on both the head and the motor are
once again lined up. Be sure to clean your barrel be-
tween uses very well as it’s harder to see through it if
the barrel is clogged with ink. The point of
the barrel is inside the head
Once you’ve got the needle inside the
barrel, make sure that arrow on the
head is pointing 1/4 turn to the right
of the arrow on the body. Then seat
the head downwards and turn to the left so
that the arrows line up. This should not take
effort. If it does, check to make sure that you’ve got
the head lined up properly.
Turn the tattooer on to see if the needle is the correct
length. If the new needle is not showing out of the
barrel, loosen the set screw on the side of the head and

Turn the motor on and then dip the tube into the
ink cup, holding it there for at least five (5) sec-
onds. Count 1001, 1002 etc.
Holding it in the ink that long will allow the tube
to fill up with ink. The needle moves in and out
and pulls the ink into the tube so that when you
start tattooing you can get up to 8 characters from
one dipping. This is the one step that takes the
longest amount of time, but it’s well worth it.
You can refill between bunnies if you use long
numbers.
Place your fingers on the tatt
head as close to the Stainless
Steel barrel as you can get.
This will give you more con-
trol over your printing. Just as
you would with a pencil on
paper.

The Inner Working:
Here is a diagram of how the
E-Z Tatt works. The barrel
that the needle moves in is
stopped by the first layer of
skin due to it being blunt.
The needle penetrates 1/16
of an inch into the second layer of skin. See the
pink part on this diagram. Then once the tube is
pressed up against the skin, the tattoo is slowly
dragged over the skin— just like you’re writing
with a felt tip marker.
The ink is pushed into the second layer of skin,
the needle is moving in and out of the barrel of
the tattooer, grabbing a drop of ink with every
rise back into the barrel.
You want to work quickly, but if you draw the
line too quickly you’ll end up with --- - - - - a
dotted line. That alerts you to slow down a little
2nd layer of skin
Very out of
proportion
here but
shows where
the ink
should go.
13
See in the photos, the needle goes into the rubber tube
and the end of the needle pokes through that rubber
tube.
To remove the needle, grasp the rubber tube either
with your fingers or small pliers, tweezers work well
also. Pull straight up. The needle and rubber tube
come out together in
an ideal situation.
Be careful not to
poke yourself and
dispose of the needle
responsibly.
To replace the nee-
dle, push the rubber
tube down over the post in the motor. Make sure that
the end of the needle that pokes through is pointing
towards the BACK of the motor. The non-colored
side. There is hole in the motor that the tip can line up
with. Press firmly on the rubber part of the needle to
get it seated onto the post inside the motor. The nee-
dle wiggles so can be pushed out of the way to press
firmly with your finger. The post will possibly move
down, that’s OK, just be sure to get that needle all the
way onto the post.

The Needles HAVE to be han-
dled with care. They each have
individual points that can be bent
if you’re not careful.
If you’re just doing a cleaning on
your Tatt, do NOT remove the
needle. Carefully wipe it down
with an paper towel soaked with
alcohol. Start at the motor, wipe
toward the tips. Do Not wipe
backwards, that can cause the
needle tips to get lint in them and
possibly bend. When done clean-
ing it, coat it with antibiotic ointment.
They are fairly strong, but with the head off they are
much more delicate. As the needle wears, the tips
will spread a little bit, that’s OK, you’ll just get a
slightly wider line.
You should be able to feel when the needle dulls. It
will start to not flow as smoothly and you’ll have to
slow down. This should not happen until you’re way
past 100 ears. If the needle gets damaged or does
eventually wear out, here are the instructions for re-
moving it and replacing it.

bit so that the needle can push
the ink into the skin smoothly.
Practice on a banana.. Get the
feel of the tattooer, get used to writing block let-
ters. The skin on a banana is smooth like the skin
on the inside of an ear or thigh. The only differ-
ence with a banana is that you can actually push
the barrel into the skin. If you are careful and
don’t do that, you can have your family eat the
practice bananas, USE BLOCK LETTERING!
Don’t get fancy, the judges want to read them.
The bottom line here is that you want to make
sure that the needle penetrates into the second
layer of skin. Many tattoos are lost due to peeling
off because they only go into the 1st layer, which
is 1/32”.
So make sure that the tattooer is held at a 90*
(degree) angle—or right angles to the skin. Just
as shown in the diagram at the top of the last
page. Then the needle has the opportunity to go
into the second layer of skin and the tattoo will
stay for at least 10 years.

Rabbits and other small animals:
Ears: The ears on animals
have two large veins and multi-
ple small ones around the
edges. In Rabbit’s this is how
they cool their bodies. The
veins around edges catch the air
and pump the cooler blood
around the rest of the body.
This lesson is to show you that if you stay between the
large veins, deep inside the ear, you will not be hitting
the veins and making it bleed. Also around the edge
of the ear where the fur starts to grow are the nerves.
The animal will jump because you’re hitting those
nerves. So stay away from the edges for both those
reasons.
Prepare the skin before beginning. Wipe it with al-

mals. With practice
it’s much quicker to

There are two arrows that are lined up, to remove the
head, just twist counter-clockwise 1/4
turn so that the arrows are no longer
pointing at each other and pull straight
up. Put it back on the same way.
Now that the head is off, you need to
get the left over ink out of the barrel.
Just like the picture, turn on the hot
water and run it through the head. Shake it so that
there are no bubbles left inside the barrel.
Use a paper towel to wipe it off. Look through the
barrel and see the sky at the other end. If you can’t
see it, I actually blow through the tube from the large
end. But if you wash it out at the end of the day, all
the ink should come out.
If you DON’T wash it out it will get crusty and the
needle will not go in and out smoothly, there will be
chunks of dry ink all over the place.
Put the head back on just like you took it off. Start
with the head arrow pointing at the right side of
the motor, press down and twist the head clockwise
so the arrows line up.

you take care to clean it very well before tattooing.
Also be sure to use antibiotic cream afterwards.
Now take your water dampened paper towel and blot
the ink away from the tattoo. Don’t RUB! Does the
tattoo show up well enough? If there are dots, you’ve
gone too fast with the writing. Slow down. You can
go over it again if the tattoo needs some touch up.
When done, wipe some preparation H onto the tattoo,
Preparation H will make the wound heal faster, as it
closes it up and due to cooling relief the animal will
thank you for it.
Do not use alcohol or vanodine at this point. That can
possibly wash some of the ink out
of the ear.
CLEANING: You need to
clean your tatt at the end of the
day when you’re done with all tat-
toos.
This picture shows how to twist the
head of the tattooer off the motor
body.

cohol, get all oils and flakes off. Especially on lop
ears, get old dry skin off. The tattoo will take better as
the oils can interfere.
I use a paper towel dipped in some alcohol and scrub it
good. (this can do some numbing in itself) Start your
tattoo deep in the ear.
Try tattooing on your own, having a
second person hold the animal can be
dangerous due to the fact that if the ani-
mal is struggling, the person holding it
presses down harder. That is not good as the smaller
animals can break their backs easily.
There are many different ways to hold the rabbit for
tattooing. If your rabbits are calm, you should be able
to do this yourself with the rabbit on a table in front of
you. Or lay the smaller animal on it’s back with it’s
rear tucked into your waist. Then bend over and with
arms on either side, flip the ear over and do the tattoo
that way.
You can place the animal on a table with a rug under
them so it feels safe and is not likely to slip, let it back
into your elbow, or the corner of the grooming table,

you’ll be able to flip the ear over, do the tattoo quickly
and be done before the rabbit knows you’ve done any-
thing.
Another trick is to encase
squirmy animals in a sleeve.
You can use a long sleeve from
a T-shirt. Enclose one end, (if
you don’t sew, safety pins can work) cut a slit for the
ear just above the cuff; and twist up the large end. The
animals are calmed down as they can’t see and feel
safe. You can then quickly tattoo their ear and when
done just slip them out of the sleeve. See website or
call Cathy for pre-made Bunny Bags, the largest ones
work for baby goats.
All Animals: With any animal it helps to cover their
eyes. If they can’t see, they will be more calm. So
with goats, larger dogs, etc, be sure to try this, a ban-
dana would work well.
The best age to tattoo you’re your
young rabbits is after 8 weeks of
age. The ears have developed
enough so that they are not just little
stubs.
9
You’ve hopefully handled them enough so that they
are used to being picked up and played with and they
won’t be freaking out due to being scared of you.
Dogs and Goats are different.
If you put a chunk of ice behind the ear for a few sec-
onds, it will numb the ear enough so that as you
quickly do the tattoo, the animal will not feel it as
much. There is not much effect
from numbing gels, using ice or
just being quick is the best way.
Roll the ear over your pointer finger
of the hand that is NOT holding the
tattooer. If you’re a right handed
person, bend your left handed fin-
ger and with your thumb and middle finger, hold the
ear on both sides. It takes some practice so don’t give
up immediately!! Remember to lightly press the
barrel up against the ear, the needle will do the
work. You don’t have to press hard, but do move the
barrel like you would if you were using a felt tip
marker. The way these tattoos look, some people
might accuse you of that!
