Everence...your opinions?

[aant]

For all of you who have seen the recent fiasco about Everence on Instagram, what are your opinions on the product? 

[JAC1961]

Just a gimmick in my opinion.  If it's a blood relative, you share DNA anyway.  If it's a spouse or friend, I think I could find a much better way to honor and remember them.

It's a fad that will fade away quickly.  Of course, it makes someone in mourning feel better and get closure, why not.

Just because you CAN do it....

If you want to do it, go for it. If you don't, don't. I am vexed by all of the negativity and hate being spewed. If someone is looking for a deeper connection to someone, this could be a way. Since I am not a tattooer, I don't know the details on how to mix and apply it. As a consumer, I'd want to ensure that it's safe. Other than that, I think the idea is pretty cool.

It's pretty bizarre and unnecessary IMO. And I'm really not keen on the idea of powdered plexiglass being put in the body! In all truth, it also put's me off getting tattooed by green circle people because they are endorsing it...

The best community discussion that I've found is on IG on shawnpattontattooer page. Very interesting and a lot of rational discussion by *a lot* of tattooer's on his page.

Not quite sure what to think about Everence, other than it's definitely not for me.

 

I'd rather get a soundwave tattoo:

I think it's sketchy and a bit disrespectful to the dead.

Never in my 15 years of receiving tattoos have I ever brought anything to my appointments for a tattooer to insert into the tattoo application - especially the ink - other than my own personal bottle of bactine.

The act of tattoo in itself is a symbolic gesture. Adding a placebo product into the equation is a gimmick IMO.

[AverageJer]

It doesn't appeal to me or bother me. If some people want this and some tattooers are willing to use it they will find each other and it will not effect me. Pretty huge non issue as far as I'm concerned.

so, without sounding too stupid, what the hell is this "Everence" ?

Also seems to be a large contingent of well-known and well-respected tattooers in the sponsor circle...

I'll keep these ideas with my pet rock and my Mork and Mindy DVDs.

 This is the first time I’ve heard of it, I think that’s pretty cool. Although obviously not for everyone
