Hiya everyone!
My name is Colin, I'm from Ohio, and I got my first tattoo when I was 16. Now I work for the National Association for the Preservation of Skin Art (NAPSA) at SaveMyInk.com, we are the folks who allow you to arrange for a tattoo to be removed and preserved when you die. I've already posted some debate threads on a few religious sites, so I figured it might something you folks would be interested in too.
What do you think about preserving the tattoos of a loved one?
I work within the community section on the website myself, but I can answer some questions if you're curious!
Please keep an open mind!

It's just flesh.
I can see why some people might want to do that to remember their loved ones, but I am not sure that I would myself...
Great Point, Nyarlathotep!
I can't see the point in disfiguring yourself to start with.
It's not for everybody!
I want to be cremated, and I'm a little selfish with my tattoos. I have covered about 30 or 40 percent of my body and with tattoos.With slacks and a short sleeve shirt I can cover almost all of my tats, meaning I had them done for myself and not to make any kind of a statement, so I think I would keep mine, plus since I don't want any kind of funeral or marker I really wouldn't want parts of me laying around cluttering up the planet, it is wrecked enough as in is.
I'm the same way, all my tattoos are concealable, but there's really nothing wrong with having visible tattoos in my opinion, unless its offensive or vulgar. I think its interesting that you don't want a funeral or any marker, but I understand the mindset. We create memorials out of the tattoos that symbolize an individual for someone else, but we aren't just about preservation, so if you just want to check out tattoos we have a gallery with a search engine. Cheers!
