Ashes to Eyeliner? The Tattoo Trend Raising Eyebrows

In this episode, we dive into a story that's sparked plenty of conversation online. A woman in the UK honoured her late dog by mixing his ashes into tattoo ink and having it applied as a cosmetic tattoo. That unusual tribute led us to ask: is something like this actually possible, and how does cosmetic tattooing work? Joining the show is Courtney from Central Clinic Wānaka, who explains the process behind cosmetic tattooing, including brow tattoos, lash services, and other treatments she offers. She also shares her thoughts on whether pet ashes can be mixed into tattoo ink, and why it's far more common in traditional body tattooing than cosmetic procedures. We chat about the differences between cosmetic and body tattoos, how long results typically last, and what people should know before booking a treatment. If you've ever been curious about cosmetic tattooing or wondered about some of the more unusual ways people choose to remember their pets, this episode offers an interesting insight from a local expert.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
