  • Huge thank you to Paul for my beautiful first tattoo containing my horses ashes. I’ve had so many people complimenting it. 100% recommend.
    Super friendly and made me feel so relaxed considering I’d never had a tattoo before and terrified of needles.
    Thank you so much!

  • Came here with my friend to have a memorial tattoo. Both of our tattoos are just perfect for each of us. Such a wonderful atmosphere in this quirky little studio, and both Paul and Sully were kind and very helpful in designing our tattoos. Even in sad circumstances, we both had a fantastic time. Thank you so much!

  • I travelled from the West of Scotland for a cremation tattoo with my mother’s ashes. Well worth the journey! Paul and Sully handled the whole process sensitively and there was such a friendly ambience about the place – I laughed all afternoon. It was my first tattoo and I was amazed it didn’t really hurt at all. I love the final result and have found great comfort from having it. You were right, Paul, I did look at my tattoo all the way home and I was planning my next one as soon as I left !!

Cremation Ink ® About us Q & A's

Cremation Ink ® About us Q & A’s

How long has Cremation Ink ® been infusing ashes into tattoo ink?

Cremation Ink ® has been active in this very bespoke field for more than 10 years. The Cremation Ink ® partner, P Cutler, has been tattooing for over 30 years and pioneering ashes-into-ink work for over 18 years, so the combined experience behind every bottle goes back far longer than the company itself. That depth of experience is hard to find anywhere else in this field.

Who runs Cremation Ink ®?

Cremation Ink ® is led by founder and director P Cutler, who has worked in the tattoo industry for over 30 years and won multiple international awards for his tattooing. He is recognised globally for his pioneering work within the cremation ashes tattoo field, and he leads a Cremation Ink ® team of five.

How did Cremation Ink ® begin?

Cremation Ink ® began when the founder was approached by a client who wanted their late grandfather’s ashes placed into a tattoo. Rather than rush in, he carried out thorough research first, working with funeral directors, crematoriums, NHS test labs, cancer consultants and microbiological and sterility experts to make sure it could be done safely. That work grew into Cremation Ink ®, the service that now handles cremation ashes tattoo ink for clients worldwide.

Is the Cremation Ink ® process safe?

Yes. Cremation Ink ® prepares the ink in a laboratory facility to a high standard of both sterility and quality, following protocols developed alongside microbiological and sterility experts during the company’s founding research. The bottle that arrives at your tattoo artist is a fully prepared, professional tattoo ink, ready to use the same as any other quality ink on their shelf.

Will I get all of my loved one’s ashes back?

Yes. Cremation Ink ® has strict protocols in place to make sure you receive back all of the ashes you sent us. Only a small amount (about a tablespoon) is needed for each bottle of ink, and the rest is returned to you with the finished bottle.

Where is Cremation Ink ® based?

Cremation Ink ® is a UK-based remote service that prepares cremation ashes infused tattoo ink and ships it worldwide. We are not a walk-in studio. The whole service is built around safely processing your loved one’s ashes in our UK lab, then sending the finished bottle of ink to you so your local tattoo artist can create your memorial tattoo, wherever you live.

Why should I use Cremation Ink ® rather than asking a tattoo studio to mix ashes themselves?

A tattoo studio is brilliant at tattooing, not at safely processing cremation remains. Raw ashes still carry trace heavy metals, medicinal residue and other contaminants that need extracting before anything goes into your skin, and a studio autoclave isn’t built for the job. Most reputable studios will refuse to mix raw ashes for exactly this reason. Cremation Ink ® was founded to be the specialist that handles this work properly, in a UK lab, so your local artist receives a ready-to-use professional ink and the safety side is fully taken care of.

Do I have to travel to get my tattoo?

No. Cremation Ink ® sends the finished ink to you directly, anywhere in the world, tracked and signed for. From there you are free to have your memorial tattoo done by any tattoo artist you choose, local to you. The whole service is designed to remove the need to travel.

Has Cremation Ink ® been featured in the media?

Yes. Cremation Ink ® and the work of founder P Cutler have been featured in multiple international newspapers and other coverage over the years. The early research and pioneering approach helped to bring this respectful form of tattooing into the mainstream, and Cremation Ink ® has been the driving force in the field ever since.

Is Cremation Ink ® a large corporate company?

No. Cremation Ink ® is not a corporate entity producing a generic product. We are a small, experienced UK-based team of five who specialise in this refined and respectful element of the tattooing industry, with a genuine focus on customer care, respect for your loved one, and the quality of every bottle that leaves our lab.

Is Cremation Ink ® a registered company?

Yes. Cremation Ink ® is a UK limited company, registered as CREMATION INK LIMITED (company number 11501627). Our registered office address is Cremation Ink ®, 5 Sandiford Road, Sutton, England, SM3 9RN
