Does the 4-H rabbit club tattoo your rabbits for you?

I have a very week stomach. I recently found out to show rabbits they had to have a tattoo. I am joining the 4-H rabbit club and was wondering if they tattooed your rabbits for you. I saw a video of someone using the tattoo clamp and I don't think I could do it...It looks to painful for the bunny.

When I first started out my 4-H leader did a few of my tattoos for me! I'm sure if you ask your leader or someone who has done 4-H for a while they would help you!

Ask around, there often will be some person who doesn't mind doing tattoos (sometimes for a small fee). I know one person that uses an electric tattoo needle rather than the clamp; she regularly has people lining up at the shows she attends!

yeah lots of people in 4H are usually very helpful when it comes to things like that...

another option would be a tattoo pen... they are more pricey but all the examples I've seen the rabbit doesn't seem to mind quite as much... I personally couldn't keep a straight line so don't want to try this technique but here is a video of how it's done...
