Tattoo your Fish

February 5, 2007 by in AV,Stupid with 6 Comments

Uhhhh, this goes out into the weird file. Now your little guppy can sport the same tattoo as you! Tattooed fish with hearts, writing and even custom designs are making their way into pet stores, with designs from polka dots to stripes. The Tattoo’s are applied via dyes or a low level laser. I’m sure the animal rights groups will be all over this one!

    Cool, but they are mollies. They aren’t very intelligent, prone to disease, and die very easily. I owned some of these when I first started my fresh water tank but quickly realized they weren’t worth the 99¢ apiece i paid for them.

    Now what would be REALLY cool was if they could tattoo my freshwater puffer or my red oscra to match MINE! http://www.ear-fung.us/tattoo/

    Mark: You forgot the cypher switch on the binary. Your tattoo really says “Bubba” (j/k)

    Yeah. right.

    No, it says what it says because i triple checked and re-triple checked it before i got it permanently on my body!

    It’s not like getting Kingon tattooed on you where nobody could ever CHECK if it says what they say it does.

    I actually met someone yesterday with binary around their wrist. It looked HORRIBLE, all crooked lines and stuff. She claimed it said her name, but then again, she worked at Hot Topic.

    I see some people don’t like tattooed mollies. They need to get a life. I love my tattooed Mollies and I intend to buy more. When you think of it Sailfin Mollies are a Hybrid mutation and I love them to. This tattooing ads new curiosity and excitment to my Aquariums.
    Keep It Up
    Peace

    Some of those fish are tattooed with ink and needles, just like humans.

    The problem being that fish do not have layers of skin like us, therefore some never recover from being restrained and tattooed. They just become ill and die a slow death.

    This is the first I’ve heard of the fish being tattooed with a laser but I do know that those that are dyed eventually lose their colors as the dye leaches into in fish’s body. They die too.

    Buyer beware please.
