​Purchasing a cremation urn in advance is a wise decision

​There are huge benefits to obtaining a memorial urn before you need one. If it is for yourself you will be able enjoy the piece of art you helped design and create.  You will also be able to choose exactly what you want while also relieving your family of the stress of having to make yet another decision and item on their to-do list for the funeral arrangements. If you're buying an urn for a loved one who will be passing away soon, doing so ahead of time allows them to participate in the decision process if they choose, and it also relieves you of one more thing to worry about.

Handmade Memorial Urns

Mission Statement:
 
I want to bring peace and comfort to people grieving. Why:  I take a great amount of personal care and reverence when preparing a cremation urn for a loved one. I feel a deep sense of responsibility to be the one that prepares for the spirits final resting place. I want the person’s spirit to be in peace and be happy with what I create for them. I often ask for a picture of the loved one so that I can somehow connect with them as I go through the process of creating their final resting place so that they will approve of the piece. 
 
I am the first artist to use a tattoo machine to carve with on ceramics! I specialize in custom one-of-a-kind memorial urns. I can carve and tattoo pretty much any design just like a tattoo artist would do onto ceramics. Many people don’t realize that 50% of tattoos that people get are “Memorial Tattoos”. If you have a tattoo design that reminds you of your loved that you want me to tattoo on a custom cremation urn please Contact me:  Matt – tootallspottery@gmail.com

Ceramic Tattoo Art Featured in Skin Art Magazine...

Ceramic Tattoo Art - under our personal brand Ceramic Tattoo Art - was featured in the Skin Art Magazine Issue 145.  We are proud to be a part of three worlds: the tattoo industry, the ceramic industry, and the memorial industry.  Though we specialize in creating urns, we really specialize in creating Memorial Art - which is exactly what tattoos are! 

The Press-Enterprise: Artist Spotlight

What is Ceramic Tattoo Art? 

Ceramic Tattoo Art blends three seemingly different worlds: ceramics tattoos, and memorial art.   

Tattoos can mean a variety of different things in today’s world, but they also tell a story through their designs. Tattoos range from tribal to abstract to realistic. As a Tattoo Artist I use a tattoo machine to create a relief carving. I find it leaves a very nice texture. Often times Tattoos & Artwork have a deep and impactful meaning behind them. I often get asked to carve a custom tattoo design for a customer in clay as a memorial for their loved one, living or lost. I believe it’s one of my ministries in life to create one-of-a kind memorial art pieces.

The art pieces that I specialize in are:
  • Fine Art Memorial Plates Different materials are utilized to create these pieces including ceramic glazes, acrylic inks, enamels, and graffiti pens.​ 
  • Custom Memorial Urns I am one of the few artists in the world right now creating one of a kind custom art urns. I can carve-tattoo your design of choice onto a memorial piece that can be passed down for generations and become something to be very proud of. 
  • Framed Original Artwork I create my own tattoo flash and drawings to add to my new coloring books. Sign up to my Facebook Coloring Group and post your favorite coloring designs you have colored.  
  • Pet Memorials I create pet memorial plates and urns for all kinds of pets. I am especially proud of a line of horse memorials. 
  • Bonsai Pots - loved by bonsai enthusiasts because they are handmade (in the USA!) and very unique.
  • Glass Necklaces I hand carve glass necklaces out of clay. They are round and made to look like a real rock with glass sprinkled in the center of them.
  •  Tribal Tattoo Coloring Book (with Alcoholics Anonymous sayings).  This coloring book was made with the AA 12-Step Recovery program in mind.  It has AA sayings on each page along with some simple tribal designs originally created as something positive to do each morning at my AA Meetings. Meant to be colored in about 1 hour or so. 
  • Ceramic Tattoo Art Coloring and Maze Book - This coloring book was just released on Amazon on January 1, 2018! It was designed with EVERYONE in mind - colored by adults and children alike.  It has positive quotes on every page, original tribal designs, and a maze on each page that gets progressively harder as you go through the book.  This coloring and Maze book was inspired by the true love of Tattoo & Graffiti Art! 
  • ​New designs are created on a weekly basis.  Many enjoy these coloring pages because than can be completed in 1-2 hours instead of many tedious hours.  Join my mailing list and receive the latest Tattoo & Graffiti inspired coloring pages FREE!  Sign up below or by emailing tootallspottery@gmail.com. ​​
