Ketchum Animal Tattoo Ink Green Paste 1 oz — Concentrated Permanent Livestock Tattoo Pigment

Designed for livestock and veterinary use, this green tattoo paste from Ketchum creates crisp, readable marks that remain legible throughout the life of the animal when applied correctly. The 1-ounce jar contains a concentrated pigment paste intended to be used with standard animal tattoo instruments; its consistency helps the color transfer deeply into the dermal layer for durability. This product is manufactured for identification purposes and follows standard tattoo paste application methods used by breeders, research facilities, and animal health professionals.

How is Ketchum green paste used for animal tattooing?

Apply the paste to the tattoo instrument and create the mark on the animal's ear or other designated site following accepted animal handling and hygiene protocols. The paste should be pressed into the punctures made by the tattoo tool so that the pigment settles into the skin grooves and dries there.

• Use with compatible metal tattoo stamps or rotary tattoo tools.
• Clean and disinfect the skin area before application.
• Apply a small amount of paste into each tattooed indent; wipe away excess.
• Allow the paste to dry to avoid smearing and to improve pigment retention.

What results can I expect after using this green tattoo paste?

When applied properly, the green paste produces sharply defined numerals or symbols that are readable at a distance and persist over time. Results depend on instrument quality, application technique, and post-application care, so following best practices helps ensure the mark remains distinct.

• High-contrast green pigment for visibility on various coat colors.
• Pigment that settles into tattooed grooves for long-term legibility.
• Suitable for use across different livestock species when applied correctly.
• Visible once dried; minimal flaking when properly set.

How should I store and handle the 1 oz jar to keep it effective?

Keep the jar tightly closed when not in use and store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve pigment stability. Avoid contaminating the paste with dirt or fluids—use clean tools and replace lids promptly to maintain hygiene and product performance.

• Store upright at moderate room temperature away from heat sources.
• Do not mix with other pigments or solvents unless manufacturer-approved.
• Use clean applicators to prevent contamination and spoilage.
• Dispose of unused product per local regulations for animal-care materials.
