Tattoo ink?!

Question:

Tattoo ink?

Are there any animal products in the ink used by tattoo artists?

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I hope vegans might know even though it is not a food question. Thank you.

Yes, the tattoo ink does usually contain animal products. However, there are many vegan tattoo parlors, and you might even be able to request that a tattoo place gets vegan ink, at least for vegan customers. Here are some more intelligent answers: http://www.veggieboards.com/boards/showt...

The ink tattoo artists use is all synthetic, The last animals to ever be used in Ink of Anykind were snails.
