I usually put larger, colorful tattoos in the corners and keep the ones that go onto the horses fairly small and simple. Ammit once commented that square, colorful tattoos on horses reminded her of postage stamps, and that stuck in my mind.

Here is a horse with my stable tattoo:

(now deceased and in the archive)

and one with the Eos tattoo for my line of homozygous sooty flaxen chestnuts:


and one with my DP tattoo (Greek letters for D Ph):


and one used for my Gold and Gold potential mares on a light colored spot:


and on a darker horse


I make the letters with a dark color, often black, and then outline it with a pale gray or white. My stable tattoo was originally just green, but it got very, very blurry on bays, especially, so as soon as I was able to edit tattoos that were already on horses, I put a lighter color around it, which helped it a lot. The Eos tattoo is the most colorful of all the ones I put on horses.

The tattoo places on horses are the hip, the thigh (Top Mares is there), the withers, the shoulder, the cheek, and the inner lip (which makes them invisible). Off the horse, there is room for one in each corner, although if you're careful about size and placement, they can be doubled up. For instance, my daughter uses a butterfly for one of the sabinos and a flower just below it for the other, in the upper right corner.


The butterfly on top is for Sabino 1 and the flower below it is for Sabino 2.

I've been messing around, personally I like this one

Maybe this one in blue?
I like this one but prefer the red over it.

Or you can always put the tattoo on the lip if it's going to clash with the horse's coloring.

Here's a tattoo I placed on one of my favorite horses I bred

I changed the color and make the lettering lighter, I think I like it better

That's looking pretty good. Congratulations!

Looks great!!
