Ashes to Ink

Memorial tattoos are an incredible way to remember a loved one who has passed on. But sometimes, words aren’t enough and you’re looking for more than just a thousand words to describe a picture of someone who you miss dearly. We often long for the ones we have lost and Engrave Ink has a brilliant way of being able to keep these people with us for the rest of our lives. They have produced a commemorative tattoo ink, which is a tattoo pigment that is created from ashes of our loved ones. The ink—which comes in both black and white—is a highly tested formula which can be used for lining, shading and highlighting for both black-and-grey pieces and color tributes. You can also utilize the ink for washes in an entire color tattoo.

The biggest concern many potential buyers have when looking into combining ashes with tattoo ink is of course safety. Over the past few months, states like New York have been trying to crack down on the regulation of tattoo ink which brings up worry that this procedure may not be safe or healthy. But because of the scrutiny that Engrave Ink puts into each and every bottle of their original commemorative ink, they ensure that this product is safe for tattooing and that the ashes that you contribute are treated with the upmost care. One of the things that makes Engrave Ink unique is that they use two separate manufacturers for their black and white ink. This is because they are committed to giving the whitest whites and the most saturated blacks on the market for their clients.

If you already have a memorial tattoo for a loved one who has passed on Engrave Ink can still be used to re-line an existing tattoo with their black ink or to highlight with their white ink, giving you the opportunity to repurpose a faded tattoo and to give new life to a loved one who has left this earth.

When you lose someone you love, the absence of their presence is tangible, like a heavy weight hanging over you. And though it lessens over time, it never fully dissipates. While their physical presence may not be permanent, a commemorative tattoo is a special way to carry them with you wherever you go. Engrave Ink gives their clients the opportunity to alleviate their grieving process by allowing them to know the ones that they love are still with them.
