Those who want more than an urn on their mantelpiece to remember their favourite aunts, uncles, dads & moms can opt for having her tattoos framed on their wall instead.
Save My Ink is allowing clients to decide which of their tattoos they want preserved for posterity and give it to their relatives as a permanent, if macabre, reminder of them.
The painted skin is put through a chemical and enzymatic process to permanently alter the chemical structure of the tissue and stop it from decaying.
According to Save My Ink, the process allows tattoo enthusiasts to bequeath an actual part of themselves "just like a house, wedding ring or any other cherished possession".
So far the service, which was officially launched in America last week, has successfully preserved 21 tattoos - with 100 per cent accuracy.
So will you be asking for one if you lose a loved one?
