Eco-friendly and Vegan items such as degradable bin bags, washing up liquid, hand soaps and multi-purpose cleaner (for kitchen & bathroom) which are also vegan.

Do you use Vegan Inks?
Happily this is an ever growingly common question to be asked. the answer by almost every professional tattooist will be 'yes' as most regulated inks on the market are in fact vegan.


BUT. . . this doesn't mean that all the products they're using are vegan. 
Which is why we use/stock as much vegan and eco conscious products as we can.

It's important to understand that 9 times out of 10 
'Do you use Vegan inks?' often means, I'm Vegan and would really like the whole process and products to be cruelty free (Vegan).


So, what makes products vegan?
It's not just about 'not containing animal products' vegan friendly' is also whether any of the ingredients used in the product have been tested on animals.
so products like dettol, vaseline some soaps are not vegan friendly

All of the aftercare items can be purchased in the studio or on-line. Just click on the product to find out more.
