2026 Guide to Eco Tattooing by Good Judy
Making better choices about the supplies we use starts with understanding what those choices actually mean.
Tattooing relies on a lot of disposable materials, many of them necessary for maintaining a safe and sanitary workspace. But that doesn't mean we can't take a closer look at what we're using, how it's made, and where it ends up.
Our friends at Good Judy put together this free 2026 Guide to Eco Tattooing to help artists navigate some of the questions surrounding sustainable tattoo supplies.
The guide takes a practical look at the cost of switching to more environmentally responsible products, the differences between biodegradable and certified compostable materials, common misconceptions about plastic waste, and what artists can look for when choosing supplies.
At Workhorse Irons, we believe better tools and better knowledge go hand in hand. That applies to more than just tattoo machines. It also means understanding the materials we use every day and making informed decisions wherever we can.
