You can but it is not recommended..in jails they use cigarette ashes and in some cultures they use wood ashes

I think I have heard of this before...but I can't entirely remember. I guess it can be done. I'm sure there would be a tattoo place that would do it just so you feel at peace. I think most would refuse because it's a big deal...it's a person's ashes and they might not want to be involved...also because it might mess up the flow of the ink in the tattoo. It would get thick with the ashes. I would definetally try. Talk to artists and see what they think...(talk to more than one). I'm sorry for your loss. Good luck with everything, I hope it all works out!!

I think it would be a great way to keep a part of somebody that has passed on with you, but as Melis__A has already pointed out that it could cause a reaction from the proteins that may have not been destroyed in the cremation process. I know for sure that their is a law pertaining to the dumping of cremation ashes, and I believe it has something to do with making sure that it is not dumped where it can get into the public water supply.

I don't think so. It would mess up the consistency of the ink, and would most likely make the tattoo less even and permanent. (See: it would flake off in places) It may also get infected more easily.
My guess is that you are getting a tattoo in memoriam of someone, which I think is respectable. But, I would suggest getting the tattoo sans ashes and putting the ashes in a place where you can see it daily.
If you're still unsure, contact your local, best reputed tattoo parlor. Check www.bmezine.com for references.

why not just eat or drink the ashes ,
much more symbolic
the dead will always be part of you
and you can do it very ritualistic
with wine on full moon .
whilst deflowering somebody
sounds a lot more fun
than a painfull tatoo that can go septic.
i suppose if you mixed the ashes with the ink ,it might produce an inferior ink
ask the tatooer.

What an interesting question!
What a way to always carry a piece of someone with you!
However - I don't think you'll find someone willing to mix ash in with the ink. They would probably lose their license for one - and for two, your body would likely perceive the ash as a foreign protein and attack it and you would end up with a nasty reaction / infection type thing going on.
Cool idea - although it probably wont work.
