Vegan and Eco-Responsible Tattoo in Metz: Our Commitment

30 November 2025

Vegan Tattoo: More Than a Trend, an Ethic

In Metz, more and more clients care about the impact of their consumption, and tattooing is no exception. At Owink, we are proud to offer a tattoo approach that respects animals and the environment.

What is Vegan Ink?

Contrary to popular belief, not all inks are vegan. Some traditional inks contain:

  • Animal glycerin (fat).
  • Gelatin (boiled bones).
  • Bone black (animal bone charcoal) for black pigments.

At Owink, we exclusively use certified Vegan and Cruelty-Free inks (not tested on animals). They are just as vibrant, last just as long, and comply with strict European REACH regulations.

Beyond the Ink: The Equipment

Tattooing generates a lot of waste (this is the price of hygiene and single-use materials). But we try to limit our impact:

  • Hygiene Products: Vegan soaps and transfer creams.
  • Protections: We favor biodegradable or recyclable alternatives whenever possible for cable and machine protections.

Why Choose a Vegan Tattoo Artist in Metz?

Whether you're vegan or not, choosing an ethical tattoo artist means supporting a responsible approach. It's also a guarantee of using modern products, often less allergenic and more respectful of your body.
