Strange service.. Keep your tattooed dead skin as a painting at home

A strange service has begun to gain popularity in the United States of America, to represent a new trend in the service of the dead, and the service is represented by the work of an organization called “Save my ink forever” which means “Keep my tattoo forever”, which represents its goal, by simply removing the tattooed skin from the dead, drying it and then using it as a memorial plaque at home.

The ad says, "If a loved one has died and you want to remember them with their tattoo, you can contact Save My Ink Forever," an Ohio-based company that retrieves tattoos from the deceased and then preserves and frames them to display forever.

On its website, the Foundation displays examples of its work, including tattoos that were framed after extracting them from the bodies of the deceased, at the request of relatives and the approval of their owners, according to the Boeing Boeing website.

Kyle Sherwood, tattoo preservationist and COO of Save My Ink Forever, tells Motherboard: "People who want to do this basically consider it their 'funeral' and that it means more to them than traditional religious ceremonies."

The process involves clients describing the area where the tattoo is and what it looks like. Then, a licensed cadaverist cuts the tissue around the tattoo and sends it to the Save My Ink Forever Lab in Ohio, where Sherwood goes to work — a process that takes about three months.

Where Sherwood perfects and improves the work, doing his best to return the tattoo to its original condition.

The ad describes the families' "gratitude when they received this service" with one commenting 'Oh my God, you know, I feel like they're here, I've seen that tattoo every day and now I have a piece of that person with me'

Sherwood believes that what they are doing has been materialized throughout history in various ways, noting that "people take ashes and turn them into diamonds. In the Victorian era, they cut hair and made hair necklaces. It's no different."

It is reported that a Japanese university professor was famous in the last century for his hobby of collecting human tattoos from the dead, and he was called Fukshi Masayichi (1878-1956). During his life, the man collected more than 102 tattooed human skin pieces, including covering a whole body, in addition to about 3000 documented photos with explanations of tattoos. mankind.

Masayichi used to offer a tattoo financing service in exchange for obtaining them after the owners died.

The University of Tokyo now owns his collection.
