Piercings and vegans

Question

"Most metal body jewelry - Buffing compound, used in polishing metal jewelry, is an abrasive suspended in an animal fat (generally cattle tallow). It is used in the manufacture of almost all metal body jewelry on the market."

And if I want a piercing? : (

Answer 1

Its not just body jewelry. Stainess steel and chrome polishes have animals fats in them, as do many casting processes and forging.

Answer 2

.....?

Answer 3

then find some non-animal suspended metals.

Personally, when i get a new piercing, i use my own ring anyway. Take your own metal.

Answer 4

No animal was born, suffered or was slaughtered for fat to buff your jewelry. If you find a vegan tattoo or piercing shop, why don't you ask them?

If they don't have an answer, you'll have to either not get pierced or accept that you can be vegan in a non-vegan world.

Your best bed would be to find a vegan tattoo artist/piercer, so they can pierce you vegan.

Hoeny, your carrying this way to far.

BTW: Loads of animal byproducts went into making your car and the pavement you drive it on, maybe you should stop driving, or even walking on roads?
