The dog's owner bragged that he did not use anesthesia during tattooing, which further intensified the controversy.
According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post and social media 'Xiao Hongshu', a video filmed and posted by visitors to the fair on the 22nd showed several colorful tattoos on the body, including colorful dragon tattoos from the back of a hairless dog to his front legs.
The dog was even wearing a gold necklace and a wristwatch, and the owner encouraged visitors to take a picture and `The dog is not sick at all. He also lifted the dog's neck, saying, "I don't feel anything."
However, visitors at the scene pointed out that the dog apparently looked uneasy.
One visitor said "The dog looked scared," while another said "The booth operator didn't eat even if he gave me snacks."," he said.
Some claimed to have seen wounds on the dog's legs.
As the controversy spread, event organizers banned the dog's owner from entering the fair.
Tattooists who had tattoos said in an interview with Chinese media that the tattoo was done in June last year.
He explained that he initially rejected the dog owner's request for a tattoo, but that the owner insisted that Mexican hairless dogs were insensitive to pain and requested them several times, so the procedure was carried out at a pet hospital.
The tattooist also said "He thought the dog was a child, and he said it would look better if he got a tattoo."'I didn't think it was abuse at the time, but I was worried about the recovery process.' Disposable tools were used in the procedure, and liquid anesthetics were administered, he added.
Throughout the procedure, the owner played a role in soothing the dog, and the veterinarian managed disinfection and procedures.
"I sincerely apologize if I hurt my dog or my online audience. It was not my intention."
Another tattooist questioned the claim that dogs can withstand needle irritation.
He pointed out that "the areas where the skin is thin and there is less fat and muscle, especially the wrist, are much more painful because the nerves are concentrated.'
The incident spread quickly online, sparking anger among many netizens.
Netizens are insensitive to pain? Are you saying it's okay to put you under anesthesia and tear yourself up?""Someone else criticized "Just because you can't speak doesn't mean you're painless." It's obvious abuse." Also "This master is inhumane. I feel so sorry for the dog born of this person."
