  • What a love for her son.I really don't believe it.Is good to see that your are making tattoo on your skin with your son's ashes.
  • That's pretty sick. I can understand about losing her son, but I can't she would tattoo herself with her son ashes.

    Mrs Mordue also hopes the tattoo will highlight the dangers of drugs and the damage they inflict on society.
  • yeah I too think It is sick, I mean there are other ways to remember her son.
  • who knows, she must have felt that it is the right thing to do.
  • There are a lot of people who do that. Honestly, if I would lose one of my kids I would do it too. I don't think there is anything sick about it. The ashes are added to the regular tattoo ink which is then used to create the tattoo.

    Everyone takes their memories with them in their own way, and I think this is a great way to do it.

  • Well, this doesn't seem one way or the other to me. I think I started getting immune
    to things people do after Angelina Jolie and what's his name had vials of the other's
    blood hanging from their necks. If that's true. Probably is.

    Nothing seems too far out there, anymore.

    • How terrible it is! I can understand her feeling but I can not accept her behavior.
      Also read another news that a man missed his wife so much that he casted his wife's dead body into statue, and sleeps with it every night!!!!!
  • @HeySal - Do you have more information about the science behind turning ashes into gemstones? I'm fascinated by the idea (maybe a little horrified as well)

    • They use the carbon from the ashes and just replicate the process used to make cubic zirconium.

      If I remember rightly, the website is www.lifegems.com
      It's close if not so just google it if that doesn't work. I don't have time to browse through my newsletter archives.

      It is very strange, but kind of neat, too. I would rather have a ring made from the hair of the living - same thing in the long run but not as eerie to think about. But I know if I had been able to afford it, I would cherish a stone of my last dog.

  • Thanks! I will check that site out.

    I'd add a "Thanks" to you, but I don't see where to do that.
  • That seems really creepy. I am sure she loves her son, but this is taking it too far.

  • That's ... just ... creepy. :/
  • I think that's very sentimental! I don't find anything wrong with that at all! So a woman who gets a tattoo in memory of her dead son, that includes his ashes is somehow worse than a woman just getting a ridiculous tattoo that has no sentimental value? If I were to ever get a tattoo it would be in loving memory of my father. If that tattoo helps that mother cope with the death of her son, helps her feel him and carry on, by all means let her!! I have heard it is one of the worst things to endure as a parent and as a human being, burying your children.
  • WOW! I think their is a better way to remember her son. that's just to weird
  • Note to my mother: In the event I pass before you please remember me fondly and please feel free to do whatever you would like with my ashes as I'll have no use for them.
  • can't she keep the ashes in a pendant or something?

    without having to get it tatooed?

  • If the news was like "Mum has got one simple tattoo to remember her dead son", I think it would me more admirable. Mixing ash....it just does not seem good...it makes ink bad.
