New York bans pet tatoos, piercings

Body art is not for animals at least not in New York.

It will soon be a crime to tattoo or pierce your pet simply for looks in the state.

The law signed yesterday by Governor Andrew Cuomo takes effect in 120 days.

There's an exception for markings done under a veterinarian's supervision for a medical reason or identification.

Breaking the law could land you in jail for 15 days and fined up to $25.
