Tattooing sucks! A lot of Pygmy folks are microchipping now... mostly... tattoos are still accepted.

Not looking forward to that. What kit do you use? Some are around $40-50. Do they work okay or do you need to invest in a more quality and expensive one?

Sorry I'm late but glad everyone (here on BYH) out east fared OK during Mathew. I was watching the storm progress (like I'm sure about everyone else was) and thinking about y'all. But I didn't have internet where I could pass on my well wishes. I really feel for you Carolinians... seems every hurricane that goes anywhere near the east coast makes it a priority to destroy a major portion of your state(s) with flooding and wind damage. Seems inland VA deals with the aftermath quite frequently as well. A lot of folks once again lost everything they had. It's really sad.

Unfortunately here in NC the areas that get the worst flooding are relatively poor areas. Folks who don't have a lot to begin with.
