I need to get my puppy a tattoo for Sch. Does it hurt much? can I use a topical anesthetic? ice cubes? Hard to believe but after 20 years in the Navy and most of it overseas I don't have a single tattoo.
I am pretty sure that it hurts enough. They use a clamp type device(ouch)in the ear. I know a lot of people try and get this done at the same time as they do prelims for the hips. I have to get this done with my dog, and I am not sure if he wouldn't take it a little personally towards whoever did it.
C. All individual dogs to be registered in the USA/SV Breed Registry must be tattooed.
If your dog is not already tattooed, you may use a unique tattoo number of your choice or you may obtain a tattoo number from the USA Office. To obtain a tattoo number from the USA Office, you must submit the documentation and fees listed above in Section B, items 1 through 6 along with your written request to issue a tattoo number. Your written request must include the name of the person who will be tattooing the dog. Only a licensed veterinarian or USA Tattooer may tattoo a dog with a USA issued tattoo number.
Once this information and documentation is received, a tattoo number will be issued to your dog and sent to you, along with an Individual Registration Application and a Statement of Identification for completion.
After the tattooing of the dog is complete return both of the properly completed and signed Individual Registration Application and Statement of Identification forms to the USA Office as soon as possible. Registration of that dog can then begin.
If your dog is already tattooed, it is not required to obtain a tattoo number from the USA Office. Submit the required documentation and fees listed in Section B. items 1 through 8 to the USA Office.

I don't believe that an individual dog MUST be tattoo'd to simply compete in a Trial (I may be wrong). The tattoo IS required for Breed Registration (see above), for Breed Survey's and for breeding purposes.
It is proof that a said dog is who the owner says it is.
