Vegan

I AM VEGAN

Guys - now we all have to be strong, because the avocado is not strictly speaking vegan. What the fuck, right? At least that's what one

BBC science program called "QI". This is because the high demand and subsequent high production of avocados leads to unnatural beekeeping.

Now that we've digested the shock of chia seed-infused water and have a little more useless knowledge at our disposal, let's move on to a more important topic. #yourewelcome

How vegan are tattoos really?

Especially when it comes to the colors. Here is some reassuring news. Tattoo inks are generally free of heavy substances. Although the word "generally" should be used with caution.

However, the fact that we are somewhat protected is thanks to a regulation from 2009, which is intended to protect consumers from toxic or harmful substances. These include phenols, nitrosamines and other heavy metals or aromatic amines.

However, there are now more and more vegan tattoo studios. It has to be said that many good stores are happy to do without bad colors and poor hygiene.

After all, a recommendation and a loyal customer pay off more in the end than a quick euro. But color is not the only issue when it comes to vegan thinking. After all, most products contain animal substances or animals were used for testing purposes. Example: The razor, or the care cream to heal a fresh tattoo.

But here, too, there are products that are completely free of animal ingredients, or that do not use animal testing at all.

Any good tattoo store will be happy to inform you about this. #questionscostnix

However, you shouldn't panic now and only frantically search for vegan tattoo stores. After all, what's the point if the tattoo artist can't do anything, but it was vegan. The author himself has over 15 tattoos from all over the world and he's doing great because he simply made sure that the studios are clean and the artists are good.

Nevertheless, he understands and admires vegans and is now spooning up an avocado. #sadly horny
