Yes, it is safe and I can do this for you. Cremated ashes were burned at temperatures over 1,750 degrees Fahrenheit. This virtually eliminates the chance of infection, though the exact sterility of cremated ashes have not been extensively studied.

Black ink is generally derived from the soot of charred animal bones, but the vegan one is made from a pigment extracted from logwood. Similarly, the pigment carrier solutions were traditionally made from animal fat (glycerin) but now they're also being derived from plant-based fats (glycerol).

If you would like to add this service to your appointment, there will be an additional charge of $10 (extra tattoo ink and ink bottle). You will get your own small bottle of ink (not completely full) that the ashes will be added to. You can take this ink home with you and other family members can use it as well.
