Can Tattoo Ink be Vegan?
According to the Vegan Body Art website, tattoo ink is often not vegan due to the carrier (or liquid) in the ink, glycerin. Generally, glycerin comes from an animal source, though it is possible to obtain from vegetables. The problem for many vegans is that it is difficult to ascertain the origin of the glycerin. Often the studios and individual artists don’t even know.
One promising company, Stable, claims their ink is vegan, making it a safer choice for vegans. Beyond even the ink however, there are other non-vegan products in the tattoo process for which a vegan must watch out. Most aftercare ointments such as A&D and TattooGoo contain either lanolin or beeswax, but there are many vegan lotion and ointment options on the market.
