The mixture of emotions I feel about weather or not I think this is weird is so hard to decipher.

everett@lemmy.ml · 11 pts · 2y

It's definitely weird, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Easy, it's super weird and gross but I love it anyway.

The kind of art gallery to meet a goth gf.

I'll be the odd one out and say this is pretty awesome. I've even toyed with the thought of finding a taxidermist if I ever have to have an amputation or something.

For many people, their tattoos have a lot of significance to them, so preserving that isn't any weirder than embalming and burying the dead.

I disagree, it's at least a little bit weirder. At least you're going to bury the body after embalming, not hang them up on a wall

If you're going to go through the effort of preserving something, it makes more sense to display it than to bury it in the ground.

I don't even know what to think or feel about this.

Wtf. That is gross and very weird.
