Cremation Ink

We've partnered with ENGRAVE Ink for cremation tattoos so that you can honor your loved ones safely.

Engrave Ink® is the original commemorative tattoo ink formula created from the cremated ashes of your loved one or pet as a celebration to their unique and wonderful life.

The Process:

You will need to order the ink directly from Engrave ink. They will instruct you to send in your loved ones ashes, then they will  add them to the ink, sterilize it and send the ink bottle back to you. Then, you'll book an appointment with one of our talented artists to tattoo you with the ink. Our artist will charge a tattoo fee (not included in the ink price) which is roughly $150 per hour with an $80 shop minimum.

 

 

One bottle of Engrave ink should be enough for one large tattoo - or 4 -5 small tattoos (if your family wants to get tattooed. 

Currently Engrave Ink only offers ink in black and white. 

Use our code LuckyMonkey10 for a $10 discount on ink when ordering directly from Engrave ink.

Engrave Ink FAQ

 

Is it Possible to Have My Tattoo Artist Put Ashes in the ink at the Shop?

 The short answer is NO, due to health risks of putting foreign objects in tattoo ink and medical liability. 

  • Also, skilled and qualified artists prioritize delivering the highest quality artwork at all times and with every customer. Beyond sanitation and medical concerns, indiscriminately sprinkling unrefined, undissolved particles into the ink will make what’s called “ink blowout” an absolute certainty.

Is Engrave Ink® safe?

Most medical professionals caution that, any time you put a foreign substance in your body, being any form of tattoo or piercing, you run the risk of problems ranging from rejection to infection. Using our completely detailed internal process combined with state of the art sanitation methods ensure our commemorative tattoo ink is considered equally as safe as any other leading brand of non-commemorative tattoo ink available today.

How do I, as a relative, know that the tattoo ink I receive was actually produced from the ashes that I made available?

 Engrave Ink® has taken every effort to restrict the risks, which will always be present, to guarantee our product is as advertised and nothing less. We use a completely detailed internal process based on a meticulous working method, an advanced tracking and tracing system and careful checks before, during and after every process phase. However, the same applies here as to the response to the ‘ashes-urn’ question asked at crematoria: 99% is provable and demonstrable. The final 1% is a question of trust.

Is the Engrave Ink® process secure?

Because of the extra attention that Engrave Ink® must pay to every detail in the process, Engrave Ink® ensures that not only are your loved ones handled with care and respect, but also that you receive the highest quality commemorative tattoo ink possible.

Does Engrave Ink® heal differently than other non-commemorative tattoo ink?

No, the length of time and healing process are identical to a standard non-commemorative tattoo. The aftercare is also the same. 

How long until the finished bottle of Engrave Ink® is in my hands?

The process takes on average, 4 weeks from the date your retaining kit sample is received. As the creation of commemorative tattoo ink is a highly complex process, the procedure can take more time. We assure you that quality and precision have first priority.
