We previously used Starr eco cups, but to ensure compliance with new Environmental Health regulations, we are now required to use individually packaged & sterile cups.
As much as we embrace any improvements to hygiene practices, individually packaged plastic medical cups are not exactly eco friendly. But we were able to source ones that are made from recycled plastic.
nOT IDEAL BUT We ARE hopeFUL that a manufacturer of eco friendly tattoo supplies can bring out a suitable eco friendly replacement for these in the near future.



Eco-friendly and Vegan products such as degradable bin bags, washing up liquid, hand soaps and multi-purpose cleaner (for kitchen & bathroom) we source from Ethical Superstore and a fantastic local Health Food shops, Wild Oats and Better Foods.

James loves and would highly recommend Wild Oats vegan, almond croissants from Wild Oats. Hannya loves their range of herbal teas, holistic medicines and anything cruelty free & Chocolate.

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.
