Our Story

How Ceramic Tattoo Art Began

About 2006 I was watching a reality show called Miami Ink on TV. About a month later I was attending a tattoo convention in Pomona Ca. and noticed a tattoo kit for sale.  I wondered to myself, "could I could use that on my ceramics?"  I bought the
​tattoo machine, took it home and the rest is history.   

That's how Ceramic Tattoo Art began!

TooTall Brand

TooTall is the branding behind Ceramic Tattoo Art.  It originated from my St. Bernard who was named "TooTall" - a 220 pound bunch of love.   I have always loved animals and that is why I offer custom pet memorial ceramic plates and ceramic pet urns.  While "TooTall" may have left this world, I will always remember her through my brand and my work. They also call me the "Clayslinger".
My Grandfather "Popo" TT always thought she was a lap dog...

I was once homeless and learned many life lessons, one of which is to give back.  If you or someone you know is facing homlessness, please look into the resources I have put together.  I hope they help you on your journey.
