It is desirable to provide a kit and method especially useful as to allowing an inexperienced person the joy of forming and applying a decorative and/or identifying long lasting semi-permanent, affordable tattoo (mark, label, number, letter, etc.) particularly to, but not exclusively to your pet's or livestock's coat (hair, feathers, outer shell, etc.) in a safe, fast, easy and affordable no mess kit. The pet tattoo is achieved on your pet and/or livestock by placing an adhesive backed stencil with a distinct shape or image cut out in said stencil, onto the coat, hair, feathers, outer shell etc. of your pet or livestock. The precut, sticky backed stencil is placed onto the pet or livestock in the area that is to be tattooed.
