Dog tattooing with or without anesthesia?

Question

I have a Pit and he and I are closer than any two people could be.  We do everything together.  Anyhoo, I love tats and personally sport full shirt sleeves, chest, shoulder blade, ankle and calf tattoos.  I have found a tattoo artist who will tat my dog, who is medium gray so it will look awesome.  I am planning a top of head tattoo of a crazy fire breathing skull, a tribal design for his neck, and a cross dripping blood on his hind quarters cause we love Jesus. Any way my question is,  should I anesthetize him to sleep for the tats or keep him awake?  He is a tough mother and could easily handle the pain and I am concerned about safely administering anesthesia.

I think giving an intricate designed tattoo is a great idea for your pet. Better yet, get the dog sleeves!

Yeah pits are tough dogs, he can handle the pain without Anesth.

Can't you just be happy with YOUR sleeves and such?
It's for your own ego that you are going to tattoo your dog.  
If you truly care for your buddy, don't tat him up.  Geez.  The crap you'll get from people and the fights that'll start.  Pits are cool all by themselves, isn't that good enough?
Anesthesia is dangerous, especially administered by a tattoo artist or yourself, no Vet would come close to that one.  I never thought I'd say this phrase, Michael Jackson mean anything to you?

As awesome as that sounds I think that falls under animal cruelty so if you did go ahead with it you would most likely run into trouble down the road. Even if he could take the pain I doubt he would stay still for the time it took to tat him.

I hope you are kidding, the hair will cover the tattoos up so what would be the point. That is also very selfish for you to do because it is for your own benefit and not the dogs. Why would you want to put your dog though that, don't you love your dog.

If i knew who you were , I`d report you to the ASPCA , and the police ..........COUNT on it  !!

You need psychiatric help !! LOTS of it !! You`re one disturbed SICKO !

If someone sees the tattoos and reports you , both you AND the tattoo "artist" would be charged !!  You`d end up losing your dog ..... hopefully!

Something tells me your "question" is BULLSHlT ......... NO ONE could be THAT stupid !!

Troll elsewhere.
Better yet go finish up school and get a job so you have something productive to do with your free time.

If your dog is really your best friend, you should let him make the choice.  Get the tattoo once without anesthesia and once with and see what he prefers.

Why don't you let him tattoo your head? Preferably with the words 'I AM AN IDIOT'

I know that dogs can be tattooed for identification purposes, but I don't know about just a regular tattoo.

Check with your vet.
