Chris Wenzel, whose love affair with tattoos began when he was only nine years old, belonged to the latter group. A respected tattoo artist, who owned Electric Underground Tattoos Inc, a studio in Saskatoon, Canada, it was one of Wenzel’s last wishes to have his inked body parts preserved after his death. All he wanted in his final weeks was to have his tattoos preserved as he was always fascinated by preserved bodies and other similar artefacts he had come across on museum visits. However, it wasn’t easy in Wenzel’s case as he wanted two full sleeve tattoos including his top hands, throat, chest piece, his full back piece, two thigh pieces and calf piece preserved. She believes the artwork will remind people that life continues even after death as those left behind never forget the loved ones they lost.
