Yes as stated it has been done and is a relatively simple task as long as the ashes have been produced through a furnace and cremulator. No disrespect meant here but I will run through a few things to consider.
The reason for this is that the ashes will contain bone fragments that contain human dna and so would need to be ground down to microscopic level so that the body it is being inserted into has less chance of foreign body/matter rejection.
The furnace is important as those levels of heat will be required to kill off any BBP’s or other diseases that maybe present in human remains.
The ashes are not 100 sterile – cross contamination with other substances/fluids/body fluids are possible. The sample needs to be crushed and baked and hermetically sealed (air tight) afterwards.
If they are ashes from a long time ago treat them as they have cross contamination unless sealed air-tight.
Do not breathe in the ashes – this can really mess up your lungs.
The ashes would have to be placed in a sterile carrier solution – the issues you face here are that you are putting a foreign material into your body and the fact it contains human dna can result in pigment rejection by the immune system.
The more ashes you add the more chance or bone black rejection you face. Whilst quite rare it can happen.
The bone fragments can also be an issue if they get trapped in the skin or bloodstream – hence the need for a cremulator – if it is like powdered ash should not pose a problem.
The legality of this depends on the state and country you are in. Some places consider it an immoral use of a corpse/and or human remains.
You only need a symbolic fraction amount adding to tattoo pigment- do not try and make the full pigment from the ashes – this will result in a sucky ink that will simply fade out. It is also disrespectful to your friend to have a crappy tattoo that was made out of them – if you do it – do it right.
Wear gloves, mask, and goggles if messing with human ashes in an open wound – yes a lot of TV have shown them not bothering but then again they are tattoo artists not pathologists or undertakers.
You do not want to be digging your dead friend from under your nails or rinsing them out of your eyes – it is disrespectful.
Take care

Yeah that is what I said & used an example amount of 10mgs ash per ounce of ink & why would I only try to use the ashes as ink only? I could tell you now it wouldnt work & would be crappy faded
also
I said as long as there are no state or local laws that prohibit it you should be able to do it
Wearing gloves, mask, and/or goggles should be done when tattooing as well sorry if I didnt get into detail about the ashes but i did say if the ashes were properly treated then the risk for infection, rejection & scarring should be less sifting the ashes & then grinding them down would be a part of then processing them down for use
I can see to a point how this could be disrespectful for some of you to hear but we all live in different life styles & beliefs & what maybe taboo to some may not be to others some people believe tattoos are all together wrong & should only be on criminals, whores or outlaws while some one may say a tattoo is ok but a piercing isnt or vice versa… Some tribes bring home there dead love ones remains try feeding them & laying them in there old beds for years before the ever lay them to rest or they even keep them in there houses in there beds & never leave them & bring them along if they move just hearing someone was cremated is taboo to some people
I am only doing what the person would of wanted with permission & suggestion from the family she would have done it for me & its like breaking the promise to a dead loved one not to do it
I can also think of about 200 or 300 things people have done with a love ones ashes why would tattooing the ashes of someone be any different??
I have looked around on the site I mean I have found a little info here and there & I seen it can be done has been done but there is still not much info on it if someone could link me to the topic here about it & what was covered already so I can look & read over it would be greatly appreciated I am sorry if I came off rude in any way but you pretty much answered my questions with more detailed info I already knew when I asked
I am in the USA Orlando Fl & if a dude can blow his ashes up over downtown Orlando in fireworks I can tattoo it under my skin
