So I came across something interesting yesterday and I thought I would share it. I have 6 tattoos planned and before I start to get them I thought I'd look up whats in the ink of tattoos.
http://www.fametatu.com/?p=5600 (just one of the sites)
Turns out burn animal bones and other animal products are/can be used in most black inks as well as other colours.
I was blown away when I found this out, and also that they don't tell you.
Guess i'm going to have to ask the shops before i got to them if they use burnt animal in their pigments.

But I figured I'd share this with all of you, who also want/have tattoos.

would love to hear your thoughts and see your pics there when you get you tats done.

If you are planning on getting a lot of work done you may want to consider finding a suitable artist and then purchasing a vegan ink set yourself and ask for the cost of the ink to be deducted.
I am in the process of purchasing a 34 color ink set from STABLE INK.
For me the idea of having non vegan ink in my skin is too much of a risk so I decided to go the route of purchasing my own and supplying it to the artist. I am buying a large set because I plan on getting many hours of work done but you could buy just the primary colour set.
