If that man wants to tattoo his own body - fine! But that doesn't give him the right to force tattoos on another being without consent. Did the pup give verbal or written consent to this procedure?! Of course, that is a rhetorical question, but not without purpose. We just don't have the right to force our personal fads on to other beings' bodies, human or otherwise.
Yes, the man is legally the "owner" of the dog, but that is just in human law. Morally, he has no right to inflict his fads and whims on another living creature. That is apart from the other, also important, issue of possible animal cruelty.
