Didn't the Nazis do something similar with tattoos from victims of the holocaust?

Haven't the Japanese had a long tradition of doing this?

Apparently so, well google showed me this article... but not in a "nice" way so it seems....

Eurgh! I said that I was going to have OH made into a diamond after hes snuffed it, but eldest step son says he won't allow it, and as me and OH are living over the brush, stepson gets the final say (he also gets to pay for the funeral though, don't think he's though of that Ha!).

There are other horrendous examples of acquiring tattoo specimens, like Ilse Koch, the wife of Buchenwald Nazi concentration camp commandant Karl-Otto Koch, who became infamous for having tattooed prisoners killed and turning their skins into lamp shades.
