Fishy business
How very bizarre. A pet shop in Ajman is selling fish tattooed with red lipstick and a flag of the UAE. That must be cruel.

Scales are like nails (no nerves) but caustic solution application and dyeing or laser treatment results in some short-term epidermal damage (i.e., tissues below the scales). Main stress is the actual handing of the fish out of water.
Solution...public not to buy 'tattooed fish'.
When I undertook fish marking in the past, I used to use a cold-branding technique, using numbered metallic brands (cooled in liquid nitrogen) on fish that I anaesthetised with MS222 (a commercial fish anaesthetic). The brands lasted for up to six months with no fish mortalities.
