Tattoo Mailbag: Mum Kim Mordue uses dead son's ashes in tattoo

on

"Kim Mordue had 20-year-old Lloyd’s remains mixed with ink that was etched into three designs on her back.

The 50-year-old said: ‘I’ve put Lloyd back where he started – he’s in my body again. As soon as I knew it was possible, I wanted to have the ashes tattoos as a tribute to Lloyd.’

The designs, by her tattoo artist husband, David, show a cabala tree, an angel releasing a butterfly and a poem.

Promising rugby player Lloyd, of Llanelli, south Wales, collapsed during a night out in 2007. An inquest heard he had taken the party drug GHB."
