Let’s start with some of the simple ones first.
Cremation ashes tattoos, or ashes tattoos, are a unique way to memorialize a loved one. This type of tattoo uses ash from the cremated remains of a person to infuse into the ink used for a regular tattoo. Once the ash has been turned into an ink with the help of Cremation Ink ®, it is then used just like any other kind of regular tattoo ink to create a tattoo of your choosing to memorialize your loved one.

As more and more people seek out ways to honor their loved ones, ashes tattoos are becoming more and more popular. Really, if you think about it, its rea such a meaningful and beautiful way to remember someone, it’s no wonder why getting a cremation ashes tattoo is now so sought after.
Years ago, a tattoo with cremations ashes in them, was seen as such a bad idea due to the issues the cremation ashes tattoos faced when done at your regular tattoo studio. Without the processing and treatment of the residual remnants still held in the ashes, with also the fact that a crematorium does not keep sterility in mind, then years ago theres was always issues with ashes tattoos and in such they had a bad press.
Also, with the fact that ashes placed in the ink would sink to the bottom, really you would only ever get the bad residual remnants that would disperse in the ink through the micro wicking effect of the ashes being placed in the ink. If the tattooist could get the mud like ink into the tattoo machine, the design was limited and the after effects of the tattoo was always large scabbing, health impacts to the client and eventual rejection, with a lot of times a very unsightly scar replacing what you so once treasured.
This is why Cremation Ink ® is changing both the image and professionalism of getting an ashes tattoo. They are now safe and carry no health concerns. Your tattooist can use all their ability, no longer limited by the quality of the ink and be safe in the knowledge that by using a professional service, they are both protecting their work and standing in the industry, putting their client’s safety paramount, exactly as nay professional tattoo artist would do.

Very personalized and very thoughtful. Some replicate their lost loved one’s own tattoos adding poignant dates or words to add to the design.

Simplifying the process, although it is explained in more details on this site..... The Process, we reduce them to a very fine consistency, clean them and sterilize them between processes, till we get an inert ash, which then runs through another process to smooth the particles, making them appropriate towards implementation into the skin. We then match the particle size of the ash toward our own high quality tattoo pigment, creating an ashes-infused tattoo ink which your tattooist can use, exactly the same as regular ink. There are other processes involved as well as processes dedicated to the lifespan of the ink and preservation of the suspension etc.
This is then sent back to you, including and ashes you sent that were not used in the process and as your cremation ashes have already bee professionally cleaned etc., then your chosen experienced artist can work their magic to create you your unique memorial tattoo, carrying with you forever the ashes of a loved one.
