How to Care for a Vegan Tattoo with Brooklyn Grooming Balm

September 4, 2012

I was lucky enough to take a weekend trip recently to Victoria BC, which is not only home of vegan curio Sarah’s Place, but also home of vegan owned tattoo shop, Tattoo Zoo. This trip was planned around a guest spot at Tattoo Zoo by an amazing vegan tattoo artist, Eckel, who I’ve been wanting a tattoo from for years. Now, you may be wondering why I keep using the word “vegan” in association with tattoos. Unfortunately, not all inks and balms used in tattooing are without animal products. In fact, some black inks have bone in them, so do your homework, and check this out for more information. After 4 1/2 hours under the needle, I am thrilled to have a tribute to my Nana and a 100% cruelty free tattoo!

As mentioned in previous posts, going vegan doesn’t mean that one suddenly has to eschew all personal comforts and luxury items. Those of us who have been loyal to particular brands for years and then discover that they test on animals can feel not only disappointed in these purveyors, but also a bit lost at the thought that our tried and true personal style practices are now a thing of the past. When I decided to only buy cruelty-free products, I didn’t have the slightest clue where to look, mistakenly assumed that there were few, if any, ethical beauty products to switch over to, and resigned myself to a bleak future where I’d use kaolin clay in lieu of foundation, and mashed cherries as a lipstick alternative.
