I honestly don't know how tattooing would work. With a chip, any time the dog would go to the vet it would be scanned. There is a central agency with numbers and you would be notified, if someone has you dog. If you sell your dog you have to notify microchip company of the new owner. What would be the central register for tattooing? Someone could just say, oh that's my old phone number.

If there's no central agency, it seems worthless.
