Have you ever thought about what’s going to happen to your skin when you die? Many of you reading this (and me writing it) have spent a significant amount of money decorating your body with skin art that will someday become dust along with the rest of you. We think of tattoos as permanent, but the reality is, they’re as fleeting as we ourselves are. But what if your tattoos could live on after you’re gone? I have tattoos that would look great preserved in a frame, immortalized for future generations to remember me through a piece of my body. My great-grandchildren could hang my framed arm skin on their walls and memorialize the rad underground artists who painted me. Ohio’s SAVE MY INK FOREVER is run by a family of morticians who are passionate about tattoos, and they offer a service to preserve and frame tattooed human skin after your, or your loved one’s, death.
