Ceramic Tattoo Art blends three seemingly different worlds: ceramics tattoos, and memorial art. The art pieces that I specialize in are:
In addition to these beautiful ceramic products, the owner and operator of Ceramic Tattoo Art, Matthew Kennedy, has created his own line of coloring books - "Color For Balance".

The Tattoo Texture |
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. But here at Ceramic Tattoo Art, Tattoos refer to applying a tattoo machine to a ceramic surface to create a unique texture. We are the first to do this and want to share it with you! Our art styles tend to lean toward tribal, simple, or elegant, though, there are many cases where we can stylize an actual tattoo onto a ceramic plate or urn.
There is meaning behind tattoos and so many people love them. We even have tattoos ourselves! Everyone gets tattoos for different reasons, but a recurring theme is some form of memorial: the hand print of a newborn, the paw print of your four-legged family member, or the name of a loved one - living or lost. Even though we love our tattoos, we know there are many out there that appreciate the art, but do not want the permanence of art on their bodies. That's where Ceramic Tattoo Art comes in - we provide tattoo art, both in a literal and symbolic sense, to ceramics to serve as a memorial for the people or things you love. |

Using the above concepts, Ceramic Tattoo Art creates tattoo style art for both enjoyment and as a memorial. We apply these artworks to a variety of ceramic products including pots, bonsai pots, figurines, plates, tiles, urns, necklaces, though we view our products more as a service. We don't just create products to sell them - we create a service that helps you represent your story using our talents. If our pieces aren't customized by request, each piece is made carefully with love. We do this because we love it and want to share our talents with YOU!

A "memorial" is defined as something that is designed to preserve the memory of a person, event, or some other thing that we want to eternally remember. When put this way, it tends to have a negative connotation, but memorials do not have to come from a place of grief. We can memorialize people or events that are happy - like the birth of your first child. We would love to create a memorial art plate to display that which holds a speical place in your heart.

Of course there is the opposite side of the spectrum - helping people memorialize loved ones as they process grief. Our Mission Statement is to help bring peace and comfort to people grieving. We specialize in creating custom ceramic tattoo art urns and pet urns because it is the best way we know how to truly help you with our talents. Each urn receives a great deal of personal care because we know that it is the spirit's final resting place. We take this responsibility seriously it and want a person's spirit to be at peace and happy with what is created for them. We start each custom urn by asking for a picture of your loved one so that we can connect with them we go through the process of creating their final home. We hope that our urns help ease the grief process and bring some beauty into a dark time.

As the owner of Ceramic Tattoo Art, I hate to see people grieving. My friend recently lost her mother and this is the urn I created for her. I hope it offers her some peace. She had the following to share about her mother:
"My Mom, Theresa, was my best friend and the person I talked to most of my adult life everyday. I can remember when she, my Dad and sibling moved to Arkansas, I ended up with the biggest telephone bill. I got into so much trouble over that bill. It was like over $500.00! It was hard being away from family - I was 21 years old. She was there when my babies were born and I decided to go back to college. I still want to pick up my phone to hear her on the other line. My Mom is missed by me and my three children. The last few months were hard on us all. She died not being able to say goodbye to us. She spent almost a month in ICU. I had just talked to her the night before she slipped into a coma where she stayed for 3 weeks before she went to stay with the Angels. My Mom loved everyone she met which was not always the best thing, but that was my Mom. We lost Dad 3 years before Mom, so they are together again. I will forever miss my Mom."
