Cremation Ink Reviews

Cremation Ink ® Reviews

Cremation Ink ® is what people turn to when they want some of their loved one’s ashes safely infused into tattoo ink. The service works for any cremation, including aquamation and water cremation ashes too, which are processed in our lab in exactly the same way as traditional cremation ashes. The wider topic is covered on our cremation ashes in tattoo ink page if you want to read more on the service itself.

Our team originally come from Bubblegum Ink, a multi-award-winning UK tattoo studio that’s been featured in the national press for over a decade for our work and our techniques with cremation ashes. That coverage is part of why people across the world came looking for the service, and it’s why we eventually expanded into a fully remote, worldwide operation.

Cremation Ink ® Around The Globe

It’s been a humbling thing to see the press, both in the UK and overseas, take an interest in what we do. The underlying issue, though, was that the world wanted to use the service, and before Cremation Ink ® was set up, it was only available to people in the UK.

Among the outlets that have covered the team and our work over the years:

• Daily Mail UK
• Daily Express
• The Metro
• The Sun
• BBC
• Lad Bible
• US news outlets and TV segments
• Various European and Australian press

It’s the worldwide reach of that coverage that pushed us to build the lab side of Cremation Ink ®. As a team we set about creating a laboratory environment where we could provide the service on a remote basis, with the protocols and techniques to give every client a safe, high-quality, lasting ashes-infused tattoo ink, no matter where in the world they live. You can read more about the team behind it on our about us page.

A real financial investment was needed to set up the operation the way we wanted, but the standard we strive to provide is non-negotiable. Our team has refined a process that means the ashes are genuinely infused into the ink, not just floating in it, so for as long as you can see your tattoo, you know your lost loved one is with you forever. The full safety story is here if you’d like to read it.

Reviews From Tattoo Artists Themselves

Some of our most meaningful reviews are from tattoo artists. Because everyone on our team comes from the tattoo industry (the director holds many international tattooing awards), we know exactly what an artist needs from their ink. So when an experienced tattooist tells us our ink is a pleasure to work with, that means a great deal, because they’ve used hundreds of inks across their career and they know what good ink feels like in the machine.

That’s why so many studios now recommend our service to their own clients. They know the ink will perform well, that the regulated work has been done off-site by a third party (the legal side is covered here), and that the finished tattoo will heal just like any other quality piece they’ve ever done. That trust takes years to earn, and we don’t take it for granted.

The Cremation Ink Review Video

On the main page of our website, you’ll find a video created by one of the best international tattoo artists we’ve worked with. It’s a visual review, recorded by the artist himself after using our ink in his studio. He talks about how easy the ink is to use, how it goes into the skin, and how it compares to other professional inks he’s worked with over his career.

That kind of review, from a real working professional, is the standard we aim for with every bottle that leaves the lab. Our goal isn’t only to make the client happy, it’s to make the tattoo artist’s job as smooth and as familiar as possible too. Both sides of the chair matter.

Reviews From Around The World

Because we deal with clients on every continent, the reviews we receive come in every shape and every language. Some are about the tattoo itself, the finished result, the experience of seeing their loved one woven into ink on their skin. Others are simply expressions of relief and gratitude that this service exists, and that they can use it without having to fly halfway around the world.

Many of our written reviews are attached to the individual inks themselves on our shop page, where clients have left feedback after receiving their bottle. The wider feedback comes through email, social media, and through tattoo artists who pass on what their clients have said. It’s a constant, quiet flow of thanks from people who can finally say they have a piece of their loved one with them, and that’s worth more than any star rating system.

Why You Won’t See Client Tattoos Plastered Across This Site

This is one of the things we’re proudest of, and worth explaining properly.

We receive amazing photos from clients all over the world. Finished tattoos using our ink, in every style, on every part of the body, for every kind of loved one. They’re beautiful. They’re moving. And yes, posting a wall of them would be excellent marketing for us.

We don’t do that. We never have, and we never will.

The reason is simple: a tattoo done with someone’s loved one’s ashes is private. The person wearing it is grieving. The image is the result of a long, painful, personal journey. It’s not a product photo, it’s a tribute. So out of basic respect, we don’t ask clients to send us photos, we don’t pressure anyone to share, and we never publish a tattoo on this site or our social media without the client genuinely wanting it there and asking us to do so. If they do, we share with great care. If they don’t, we keep their tribute exactly where it belongs, which is with them.

For us, this is what reputation looks like. Not a feed full of strangers’ grief, but a quiet, steady reputation built over more than twenty years of treating every loved one we handle with the same respect we’d want for our own.

Where The Future Of Cremation Ink ® Is Going

As more and more tattoo artists send their own clients our way, slowly but surely Cremation Ink ® continues to become the easiest, safest choice for getting a tattoo with a loved one’s ashes infused into the ink. We’re not the only people in this field, but we are the longest established, the most internationally recognised, and the ones the press keeps coming back to when they want to write about how this kind of memorial tattoo really works.

If you’d like to read more, our cremation ink page goes deeper on the brand, our process page walks through how we make the ink, and our Cremation Ink videos page collects the visual content we’ve created over the years.

When you feel ready, you can order your inks here. We’ll send out a kit, walk you through it, and look after the rest. Or contact us first if you’d like to talk anything through. Your local tattoo artist takes care of the design, your loved one stays with you, for life.

Where can I find Cremation Ink reviews?

Most of our written reviews are attached to the individual inks themselves on our shop page, where clients have left feedback after receiving their bottle. Wider feedback comes through email, social media, and the tattoo artists who recommend us to their clients. We also have a review video on the homepage from a leading international tattoo artist.

Why don’t you publish photos of clients’ tattoos?

Because it’s their tribute, not our marketing material. A tattoo made with a loved one’s ashes is private and deeply personal, and the person wearing it is grieving. We don’t ask clients to share, we don’t pressure anyone, and we never publish a photo unless the client genuinely wants it shared and asks us to.

Has Cremation Ink been featured in the press?

Yes. The team behind Cremation Ink ® (originally from Bubblegum Ink in the UK) has been covered by the Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Metro, The Sun, Lad Bible and the BBC, plus various US, European and Australian press outlets and TV segments.

Do tattoo artists review your ink?

Yes, and these are some of the reviews we value most. Our team comes from the tattoo industry, so we make sure our ink behaves the way professional artists expect. A leading international tattoo artist has also recorded a video review on our homepage.

Can I leave a review after I receive my ink?

Yes, you can leave a review on the relevant ink in our shop. We appreciate every one, and they help other grieving families decide whether this is the right step for them.

Is the ink trusted by tattoo studios?

Yes. Studios around the world recommend our service to their own clients, because they know the ink works in their machine like any professional ink, the regulated work has been done in our UK lab, and the tattoo will heal like any other.

How long has Cremation Ink been operating?

The team has been working with cremation ashes in tattoos for over twenty years, originally from a UK tattoo studio before expanding into a worldwide remote lab service. That’s longer than any other provider in this field that we’re aware of.

Are aquamation and water cremation ashes treated differently in reviews?

No. We handle traditional cremation, aquamation and water cremation ashes through the same process and to the same standard. The reviews from clients are consistent across all three.

Can my tattoo artist contact you for references?

Yes, very happily. We’re used to fielding calls from artists who want to verify our process or check anything before working with our ink. Contact us through the website and we’ll be straight back to them.

Do you have a video of how the ink performs?

Yes. Our homepage has a video recorded by a leading international tattoo artist who used our ink in his studio. He talks honestly about how the ink behaves and how it compares to other professional inks he’s worked with.
