I don’t think I’ve ever used NGO tags but a basic sharpie pen has worked fine on every other tag I’ve used. In fact, a basic biro seems to work fine too.

I'll try buying another sharpie ...maybe one I've got is not 100% as one I'm using just fades after filling half the tag in !

I just use a ball point on the BDS ones, what on earth are the NGO ones made of?!

Any fine permanent marker

If using a ballpoint I find it works if you put the tag on a pad of paper but struggles if put straight on a hard surface.

Anything will struggle if the tags are wet. But sharpie for me too!

Pack of Sharpie 100% - especially when the tags are likely cold, damp and it’s likely you are too, it’s getting late, dark, pishing down etc. and the last thing you needs is a pen that don’t work. I say pack, as some bugger always disappears with them so hide plenty about the place.

+1 for a fine point sharpie, let them dry for a bit before you put them on or they’ll end up unreadable.

 

[HonestJohn]

Flat under layer and a DRY tag any ball ok r should work fine - but not tried the NGO type either, so they could be made of some different material than every other tag I’ve tried

Store them nib down (your Sharpie pens).

Chinese Poundshop Sharpies. My writing always looked like ideograms anyway.
