I am signing up to become a member. It is asking for tattoo preference, but I do not have a herd name yet. Is the tattoo for membership different than herd tattoo? Does membership tattoo cancel out when apply for a herd name and tattoo?
No. ADGA issues tattoo sequences for the herd, not membership. Usually it's two letters and a number. They like The first letter of your first name and the first letter of your last name. Sometimes that doesn't work out because it's being used by another member.
The requirements for tatooing is very confusing for me. I usually call them each year to remind me what I need to do. I would go ahead and apply for a herd name. I was fortunate and got my herd name the came with by Pygmies and Nigerians.
If wanting the same herd name and tattoo with more than 1 registry I always recommend calling all involved and making sure name/tattoo are available. For example my herd name and tattoo are all the same for ADGA, AGS, TMGR and my tattoo is my registered scrapie id.
