To quote (with some corrections/changes) a vegan tattooist -
Tattoo inks are made of two (or more) parts - pigments, and the vehicle to carry them. Most pigments are made of metals, plant derivatives or charcoal (from bone). The vehicle is made from ethyl alcohol, purified water, witch hazel, listerine, propylene glycol and glycerine.
A vegan ink is made from vegetable sources, but the non-vegan one is typically made from animal fats.
There are some other factors in a vegan tattoo, such as using Dr. Broners soap instead of green soap (which has animal fat) and using disposable razors with no "mosterizing strip" (with animal fat).
Volentian Luke B Domingo is a London-based alternative/ street life photographer, who welcomes tattoo and piercing photo models, both male and female, for a shoot.

Well I hope it isn't something that causes fear, that would make talking about Veganism to people rather difficult, lol. But I am hoping it serves as a sign for protection. And I didn't even know that group existed! Thank you, I'll make sure to join right away.

Thanks for sharing David, I'd not heard about Icelandic sigils before, does yours truly 'induce fear' and 'protect against abuse of power'? (Should you be in the Vitches group?!)

Well, Eternal Inks are from the States, and that's what your UK tattoo parlour is using :-) And I've bought Dr.Bronners soaps before in the UK, hence my comment to you about the lovely label (I hope they haven't changed it, it is/was very inspiring).

Lucie, the answers to your questions are in those links above (in the 'Directory'), as I mentioned before ;-) Though any more viewpoints/experiences are always welcome :-)
