When a loved one passes away, everyone reacts and expresses emotions differently. Sometimes, under the influence of mourning, people tend to act strangely, at least it may seem so to those around them. A woman from the USA has decided to honor her mother in a very unconventional way. She got a new tattoo where her mother’s ashes were mixed in, Euro News reports.
“She was already a part of me, but now she really will be a part of me forever and will be able to accompany me on my adventures,” says Scout Frank.
As it turns out, this is not a unique case. More and more people tend to act like this nowadays.
The USA has its own dedicated tattoo parlor where tattoo artist Kate Duke creates such works of art.
The artist, who runs the Steel Honey studio in California, began researching this technique of using human ashes in tattoo art three and a half years ago when one of her clients wanted to specifically commemorate his dead dog.
“A lot of people think it’s unhygienic,” explains the tattoo artist, who herself has her father’s ashes tattooed under her skin. “Here in the United States, it’s quite criticized because people don’t know about it,” she says. “People tend to resist what they don’t know.” But the artist claims that if it is done correctly, there is no risk of getting infections.
