Sustainability at Body Cult Tattoo Supplies

When ordering online, a lot of waste is generated during the shipping of goods, as each package must be adequately protected or, in some cases, shatterproof. Most boxes, foils and padding are usually thrown away after unpacking and have no added value, so we at Body Cult have thought of saving these materials by simply reusing them!

This way, you may receive your goods in a used box when you place your next order. We also reuse insulation material such as styrofoam chips or bubble wrap after use. With this conscious step we try to avoid unnecessary new production. Help us and reuse your packaging material or recycle it professionally.

We, too, are taking advantage of the digital age and will conveniently email you your invoice the next time you place an order, so you can revisit it anytime, anywhere. This method will especially please those who value valuable paper production and are concerned about its high consumption.

And with invoices that can be retrieved online, it also puts an end to the eternal paper chaos that threatens to accumulate at home over time. However, since the wishes of our customers come first, you can also request your invoice on paper. If you have any questions about your order, you can reach us by phone or e-mail from Monday to Friday from 8 am to 5 pm.

In addition to the digital invoice shipping, our goods are shipped at climate-neutral conditions. Since climate protection is an important issue for us, we have chosen the shipping partner GLS. Already since October 2019, GLS offers a 100% climate neutral shipping, regardless of whether the transport destination is within Germany or abroad.

In order to guarantee delivery under CO2 neutral conditions, GLS proceeds as follows for longer transport routes:
The goods are first transported by ship or train. Afterwards, it is transported to its destination within the cities by electric cargo bikes or electric vehicles. GLS has been running climate protection projects for several years to relieve the burden on city infrastructures and reduce emissions.

Environmental awareness refers not only to our shipping of goods, but also directly to our items themselves. This change has also arrived in the tattoo industry and tattoo artists are placing more and more importance on the ingredients of a product. We mainly offer a wide range of vegan tattoo ink brands, such as Eternal Ink, Dynamic Viking Ink, WorldFamous, Intenze Ink, I Am Ink, Carbon Black or RAW.

Also check out the Paper Ink Caps from our own brand "The Inked Army". Ink caps are mostly made of plastic, so we came up with a more eco-friendly solution: Our Paper Ink Caps are made of paper pulp. Waterproof in use and biodegradable.
Or check out our eco-range "PLA Tattoo" from "The Inked Army". You can find waterproof clip cord sleeves, wash bottle bags and also machine covers here. PLA is a special formula made from grain, which makes the products biodegradable. The packaging is of course also made of completely recyclable paper.

In addition to the use of ecological materials, we pay attention to high quality in the production of our items. The production of our tattoo accessories products is designed for the long term.

What this means exactly, we explain with the example of the bestselling products "Green Agent" from The Inked Army. The tattoo care items were developed with a sustainable design. In addition to the stability of the plastic bottles, the series products, such as Green Agent Ready-to-Use or the Foamer, have high-quality black spray heads. The advantage of the robust design is the reusability of the bottles. They have a long service life and can be refilled again and again after the contents of the bottle have been used up.

We are working to integrate a sustainable system around our products. Nevertheless, we focus on the essentials. In addition to sustainable measures, such as the reuse of packaging materials or the production of eco-products, we think one step further. Before we have a product manufactured, we check its availability on the market. If, for example, there is already a category on the market where many suppliers already offer eco-products, then the market is covered. In this case we will probably refuse production, because there is no need to produce more.

We also give you the opportunity to decide for yourself if you want to switch to eco-friendly alternatives. An example is the blood stopper "Lock Down", which is sold both as a foil and as a liquid.
