Vegan Tattoo Piercing Care

Sometimesit seems like there's always another Gotcha! Not vegan! on the horizon, but this one hurts a little bit, becausewe vegans tend to be a pretty inked-up bunch.

Has Anyone Tried Tattoo Butter?

Luckily for us Knox Vegans, Born This Way Body Arts on Middlebrook Pike offers fully vegan tattoo setups, from the inks and ointments right down to the soap they use to clean the skin during procedures.

They also sell a range of vegan aftercare products, like the Simple Care piercing aftercare line and Holey Butt'r vegan ear stretching care.

I asked Bryan Thomas, co-owner of Born This Way with his wife April (she of the I-40E billboard), why they go out of their way to provide vegan tattoos.We decided to have these options for our clients because I want everyone to feel safe when getting tattooed or pierced at our studio, he said.It's also important to me that our studio have as little impact on the environment and animals as possible.

I believe we are all born with the desire to modify our appearance... By providing an environment that is safe and non-judgmental, we are able to help everyone feel more like themselves, and that's pretty awesome!
