Unconventional Hair-Infused Tattoos

Skin46 Created the First "Biogenic Tattoo Ink"

Those looking to pay homage to a loved one can now do so with the help of 'biogenic tattoo ink,' a new inking process that combines human or animal hair into the tattoo ink, prior to permanently marking a client's body.

The process was developed by the Swiss tattoo ink company, Skin46 and according to the company's founder, Andeas Wampl, “Some think it’s offensive, while a huge amount of tattoo lovers thinks it’s an amazing concept.” To make matters even more enticing for tattoo lovers, this innovation costs about the same as most other tattoos.

This incredibly personalized offering is both unique and sentimental, offering clients something a little more daring than their typical tattoo shop visit.
