The tattoos are done inside the ears. (At least that's where they 'ink' greyhounds.)

You want a serious answer... yes, it's done, but not as common as microchips. Greyhounds from the track and certain breeders will tatoo their dogs. Locations vary from inside the ear pinnae to the insides of the thighs.

My Swedish BC has a tattoo in her ear and my South African BC has a Microchip in her neck, so I was wondering what the SOP was in America.

Labs are, to say the least, fun. My yellow lab is about 5, still has his berries, and is horny as a boat load of bastids. He's gotten out to go after the neighbors goats (I swear I am not lying), and the other neighbors bitch (the dog ). Once, I had just driven back from Ocean City, and was dog tired, and he got out for a nice run. Oh, the hills were alive with curses of all kinds. My neighbor got him, and said, jokingly, I could've gotten him without all of the cursing, which embarassed me to no end when the adrenaline wore off and I realized what I had said.
Labradors will bolt when they hear thunder. We can't hear it, but they can, long before storm clouds even show up on the horizon. My family had a lab mix that ate our back door trying to get in, and ate our back gate trying to get out over the years. He got one of our golden retrievers scared of storms, and they both got out, ending up with the golden getting hit by a car. That same yellow lab got another of our goldens scared of storms too. We're planning on getting a yellow lab puppy, our current lab is not afraid of storms, just real close thunder claps, so the forecast looks good.
As far as em getting tagged with a microchip, it's a great idea, but the farmers up here, hell even the yuppies, would probably shoot first.

Both my dogs are chipped, after about an hour of chasing my terror, I mean terrier, around the neighborhood after mom let her out.

Glad he got home safely, even if you did have to bail him out. He looks sorry though, but it's time for tough love. Tell him that next time he does this, he'll have to get a job and pay rent or you'll kick him out. That should set him straight.
We had a dachshund when I was little and he ran away once. We'd let him out whenever he wanted out and he would always come home. Except this one time. About two hours later when he hadn't come home for dinner we got a little worried. Actually, I think I was screaming and in tears (I was maybe four at the time).
We drove all around the neighborhood, all around another subdivision and no dog. When we got home I was still crying and screaming and by then my parents were a little upset. Fifteen minutes after we got home we heard a scratching at the front door and there he was, with my dad's sister who lived up the street. Seems he'd decided to pay her a visit, but she wasn't home. So he got in through the dog door and ran upstairs when her golden scared him. She found him on her living room couch.
He died in 1990 and I still miss that dog to this day. The front door at my parents' house still (15 years later) has an "L" shaped piece of plastic at the bottom so the dog woudln't scractch through the door (he'd scratched a pretty big divot in it).

last lab I had (male) would spend all his free time thinking of ways to get out by himself, also in NJ. he'd usually go to all the places I'd walked him and check his mail. I stopped walking him for 6 months and exercised him in the yard. after that he got out and just ran around the block till he got tired and came back in. btw he was not at all gun shy. thunder wouldnt wake him even if the house had been hit. it was the dalmation who was in my lap long before anyone could hear it.
