A tattooist in the western province of İzmir has offered to tattoo the names of Alzheimer's patients or people with mental disorders on their bodies, in order to help them remember.

Burak Danişmend, a tattooist of 18 years working in İzmir, offers the service to the relatives of Alzheimer's patients.

In previous years, Danişmend would also give tattoos of the signature of the founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, free of charge.

“Many Alzheimer's patients can easily go missing. It is becoming difficult to find them. I have offered their relatives to tattoo their name on their body so that they can be found more easily in such cases,” said Danişmend.
