Our Vegan-Friendly Commitment at Fleur Noire

At Fleur Noire, our commitment to veganism is a core part of who we are as a studio. It goes beyond just a personal choice—it’s woven into the very fabric of how we approach tattooing and the values we hold as a team. For us, being mindful of the environment, animal welfare, and the ethical impact of our work is essential. That’s why we’ve chosen to operate as a vegan-friendly tattoo studio, ensuring that every step of the process aligns with these principles.

One of the key ways this commitment shows up is in the tattoo inks we use. Many people don’t realize that traditional tattoo inks can contain animal-derived ingredients like bone char or glycerin from animal fat. At Fleur Noire, we’ve taken the extra step to make sure all of our inks are 100% vegan. They contain no animal by-products and have never been tested on animals. These vegan inks are just as vibrant and durable as non-vegan alternatives, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice quality for ethics.

Our dedication to veganism doesn’t stop with the ink. We also provide vegan-friendly aftercare products to help our clients care for their tattoos post-session. Often, aftercare products contain ingredients like beeswax or lanolin, but we’ve sourced products that are cruelty-free and plant-based, ensuring that the healing process is as ethical as the tattoo itself.

For us, this isn’t just about products—it’s about philosophy. Tattooing is an art form that’s deeply personal, and we believe that respect for the client, the artist, and the world around us is fundamental to what we do. Creating beautiful art on someone’s skin shouldn’t come at the cost of harming animals or the environment. By choosing vegan-friendly materials, we’re staying true to our values while offering our clients a more conscious, cruelty-free option.

And don’t worry—whether you’re vegan or not, you’re always welcome here. Our vegan-friendly approach is just another way we aim to create a space that’s inclusive and thoughtful. We want everyone who walks through our doors to feel good about the entire tattoo experience, from the initial consultation to the finished piece and beyond.

Ultimately, veganism for us isn’t just a passing trend—it’s part of a broader movement towards a more sustainable, compassionate way of living. As this awareness continues to grow, we hope to inspire other studios and artists to consider these practices. In the end, it’s about creating art that not only looks good but feels good too—ethically and artistically.

If you’re curious about our vegan-friendly approach or ready to get started on your next piece, we’d love to hear from you. At Fleur Noire, you can feel confident that your tattoo aligns with your values—and ours.
