(KUTV) — People remember deceased loved ones in a myriad of different ways, with burial and cremation being two of the most popular methods.
But there's a new, some say skin-crawling way to memorialize those who have passed away: by preserving their tattooed flesh so it can be framed and displayed, according to a report by Nine News Australia.
That's exactly what an Ohio father/son duo of morticians are doing. It's called "Save My Ink Forever." The operation is based in Northfield, Ohio outside of Cleveland.

Sounds great! Maybe they can make lamp shades out of the tattooed skin too!
and I thought posing dead people in group photos like they did in the old days was bad
Sick if you ask me, which you did.
Secularists/Atheists always replicate religion in some way, often creating their own. Scientists say religious belief is hard-wired into our DNA, there is no choice.
These people are replicating the relics of saints with relics of their relatives.
Harmless.
Do I really need to say what this is reminiscent of from the 20th Century?
A grand Nazi SS tradition
“So they tanned his hide when he died Clyde, and that’s it hanging on the shed”.
All together now, Tie me kangaroo down sport, tie me kangaroo down.
C’mon, they’ve been taking jewelry off the dead before burial since the pharaohs killed the morticians — anything for a buck!
I recall John Wayne telling the mortician in the Shootist much the same thing.
Oh, hell to the NO!!
Too morbid and ghoulish for me.
For many parents, these were the ONLY physical images (they could afford) with which to remember their young children.
I don’t judge, and you obviously didn’t either.
DISGUSTING. Makes my live skin crawl.
But what about a lock of hair? why is that NOT disgusting.
Oops, no sarcasm intended, I just now saw your earlier post.
And we tanned his hide when he died Clyde..and that’s it hanging over your head...

More evidence Satan is the ruler of this world and tattoos are Satanic.
it was common back then. that one pic they painted the eyes on.
I have family pics of dead people in their coffin that were done by a professional. Not that long ago..maybe in the 60s
