However, it's important to find a skilled tattoo artist who is experienced with these types of tattoos to try to minimize any risk of infection. Cremation tattoos have not been extensively studied for safety, and the FDA does not typically regulate tattoo ink, so you should also speak with a healthcare professional to discuss any safety concerns before getting your tattoo.
