Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9835548A1] A device has ten needle pipes (12) containing movable needles (13) and arranged in two superimposed lines on a write head (7). Each needle pipe (12) is secured to a table (23) which can be motor-driven in two horizontal directions, so that the needle pipe opening (9) can be moved over a predetermined identification field on the animal skin. Programme-controlled means (47-49; 56-58) are provided for making the needles (13) vibrate vertically at predetermined points within the identification field, depending on the characters to be tattooed. The needle points thus vibrate out of the needle pipe opening (9) and penetrate into the animal skin down to a particular depth. The device is characterised in that it has a pumping device (38) for pumping the tattooing liquid downwards through the needle pipe (12) while the needle pipe (12) is moved at least in one direction of displacement, so that the needles (13) are forcibly and permanently surrounded by tattooing liquid during said displacement of the needle pipe (12).
