You will never look at tattoos the same after this
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
We still can't decide if this is creepy or cool.
It's not everyone's cup of tea and may be seen as macabre for some, but if you wanted to remember a loved one who has passed away by their body art now there is a way with The National Association for the Preservation of Skin Art (NAPSA)
This is how the process works. When you die, your "Final Wish Beneficiary" has to give NAPSA notice within 18 hours.
NAPSA will send over a "preservation kit, containing instructions and all the necessary equipment to recover, temporarily preserve, and safely ship your tattoo to NAPSA, mailed overnight to the recovery provider.
Once NAPSA receives your tat, your family can expect to receive your beautiful, non-decaying piece of skin in an ornate frame three to six months later.
So, if you've grown to love your crazy aunt's Tasmanian devil tattoo on her ankle and you don't want it to disappear as her body decays underground, now her legacy could live on placed proudly above the mantel piece.
Does this tattoo preservation appeal to you or
what item would you leave behind for loved ones that best describes you?
