That sounds like a home made tat gun. (made with a ball point pen shell, a guitar string needle and model car/boat motor)
Vets can do it, some breeders have the equipement and some tat parlors will do it if you hold the dog and catch them at a time of day they are bored with no customers.
There is a tattoo registry
Welcome To NDR
visiting that site would likely tell you a lot about it.
