The shop I went to had never done it before but when I told them the story and what the plan was everyone was choked up. They used just a pinch or so and it didn't effect the viscosity of the ink at all. Here is the finished product: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3674834&l=7b2fafefef&id=855929560" rel="nofollow">Pic of my tat for my daughter</a> In the middle of the crashing wave is her footprint - the artist did a 1:1 copy of it and it came out really well. Never had any problems with it and love it completely. I had some of my daughter’s cremated remains added to the ink of the memorial tattoo I got almost a year after she passed.

He died a couple weeks ago due to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. While some find it morally or ethically questionable, I think it was an awesome way for her to memorialize him, and something for her to have just for her, her own little piece of him for the rest of her life.

I have been doing some research for an essay and for the most part artists are very reluctant. Although I do actually know an artist who has performed this prceedure as well as the person he created the tattoo for. They were no negetive effects and the art healed properly. I would like to sate that for those finding this practice to be morbid that the young woman he created the tattoo for lost her Mother on Mothers Day in a motorcycle accident. The artist knew her Mother and her very well. I found this article extremely informative and accurate. I have been doing some research for an essay and for the most part artists are very reluctant.
