Product Information
Full details
The Kerbl Tattoo Slapper Ink Pad (MPN: 19291) is a professional-grade accessory specifically designed for livestock farmers and managers who rely on tattoo slapper marking systems for animal identification. Its primary benefit is providing consistent, even ink distribution to ensure clear and durable identification marks, which are essential for long-term traceability and herd record-keeping. While the sponge is highly durable for agricultural use, users should note that it must be maintained regularly and paired with high-quality livestock tattoo ink to ensure optimal performance and visibility on animal skin.

FAQs
Is this ink pad compatible with all tattoo slappers?
It is designed to be compatible with most standard livestock tattoo slapper systems.
How often should I replace the sponge?
Replace the sponge when it shows signs of tearing, excessive crumbling, or when it no longer maintains an even surface for consistent ink transfer.
Can I use any type of ink with this pad?
You should use professional-grade livestock tattoo ink to ensure the marks are durable, safe for animals, and clearly visible.
How do I store the ink pad when not in use?
Keep it in a cool, dark place and store it in a sealed container to prevent the ink from drying out prematurely.
Is the sponge material safe for livestock?
The sponge is designed specifically for agricultural marking applications; ensure your tattoo ink is approved for livestock use.
Can I use this sponge for ear tagging ink?
This product is specifically optimized for tattoo slappers; it may not provide the desired results for ink-based ear tags.
Troubleshooting
Markings are faint or illegible
Check that the ink pad is fully saturated and verify that the tattoo slapper pins are clean and not damaged.
Sponge is not absorbing ink properly
Clean the sponge with mild soap and warm water to remove dried ink residue or debris and ensure it is fully dry before refilling.
Ink dripping or messy application
Squeeze out excess ink after saturating the pad; the material should be damp to the touch but not pooling with liquid.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the sponge, place it on a flat, stable surface where you conduct marking. Ensure the pad is sufficiently saturated with livestock-grade tattoo ink before starting your session. This product is compatible with standard tattoo slapper systems; always verify that your slapper pins are clean before pressing them into the pad to prevent ink contamination. For care, avoid leaving the sponge exposed to extreme heat or direct sunlight when not in use, as this can dry out the material. After use, store the sponge in a sealed container to keep the ink moist, and periodically rinse it with mild soap and water if the texture becomes clogged or uneven, allowing it to dry completely before re-application.
