The same way they work on skin.

MemberYou are correct Mr. Centaur.
A unique tattooing ink is injected into the skin, changing the color of the hair follicle that grows.
As with humans it dose ware out over time, normally 15-17 shedding seasons (8-9 years)
Anymore questions about the workings of the furry world please feel free to contact me.

MemberHere is the bit I never understand.
If its the hair that is colored, how the fuck is it always perfectly in line. Fur moves about, those lines would be rugged, not straight.
