How would tattoos fare on reptilian scales?

+0

In a world with humanized (or at least tool using) reptiles, how long would a tattoo be able to last on the scales? Would the tools need to be much different than what we use today?

Would it be possible for a reptile to get a tattoo of a human?

The way I would approach this is to modify the cells that produce scales - and have any design as a series of scale shaped pixels.

This would mean that the effect would be permanent, as each new scale grown to replace a shed one would retain the colour, unlike simply painting the sales.
