Japanese mourn their relatives by having regular memorial services, and also by keeping a small shrine with a photo of their loved one/ones. My girlfriend's grandmother keeps such a shrine for her late husband, and puts a bowl of rice and a cup of tea in front of it every day.

Keeping a person's memory alive in your heart is much better than wearing a memory on your skin. If you want to keep your sister's memory alive, keep a picture of her on your desk and another one in your wallet, don't deface your body.
