Tribute (?) tattoos

A married couple from Niagra Falls ("fans") were recently tattooed with red and black ink infused with Charles Manson's ashes. They are calling them "tribute tattoos" and the husband is reported in a TMZ report as saying he followed the example of his wife Deanne who wanted to become the first woman to sport a tattoo featuring Manson's ashes. This seems odd, as the husband reportedly already had a "Helter Skelter" tattoo on his forehead using Manson's ashes.
I can't help wondering how much murderabilia can physically be extracted from one person's ashes. After his death in 2017, and following a court case involving several interested parties, Manson's remains were awarded to his grandson. Since then, the ashes have seemingly been used in at least one painting, two masks and now at least three tattoos.
