Can I get a Vegan tattoo?

Many people don't consider the impact that getting a tattoo, having hair coloured or applying make up may have on animals.
It is so easy now to modify your body in any way you choose in an animal friendly way.
Many, many companies produce vegan ink and any good tattoo artist will be able to use them when you ask. This is my latest tattoo -

Artistic inker; Peta (Junior) Jamieson from Westside Tattoo, West End, Brisbane just completed this faery star for me using totally vegan inks developed by a vegan!
 This tattoo is quite significant to me and also contains a Black eyed Susan flower, reminding me to slow down and take in the world.

After care for tattoos using vegan products is also really easy now, there are many products available that are just as effective as non-vegan products. I have used papaw ointment in the past, but this time I am trialling After Inked moisturiser and after care.

No need for gruesome fur farms in the world now, there are so many designer faux fur options.

Designer Duchess - Nayia La Scala, founder and director of Designer Duchess 

"I have always loved the innocence of animals since I was a little girl. I feel that they are such intelligent creatures that have instincts and emotions just like all of us. That’s all the motivation I needed".

Can you tell the difference?

Unreal Fur

"A personal love of animals and a growing frustration that there is a lack of awareness about the cruelty behind the fur industry made me feel very strongly about starting this project to replace real fur with faux fur".

Gilat Shani, head designer of Unreal Fur
