You’re considering a memorial tattoo; something unique that represents a departed loved one in a special way. While you’re perfecting the design, consider this: You can use your memorial tattoo design on a memorial cremation urn.
We can laser engrave any clear artwork design on a wooden or marble urn, providing you with the opportunity to create a sense of cohesion in your memorial tributes. Here’s what you do to get a memorial tattoo & matching cremation urn:
- Create the artwork. Draw your own design, have a friend create one, or reach out to a local tattoo artist to create something special for you. You can also find online vendors, such as CreateMyTattoo.com, to design your memorial tattoo.
- Get your memorial tattoo. Shop around to find your favorite local tattoo artist who will work with you to get your design just right. We recommend that you finalize the artwork with the tattoo artist before getting the urn engraved, as they may need to revise or recreate it in a different format that suits their requirements. This will ensure that the tattoo and cremation urn match, using the same artwork.
- Get a digital file of the artwork. If it was created digitally, you’ll probably have a format that will work for engraving on an urn. If you or a friend created it by hand, you can scan it into your computer and save it as a JPG or PDF file.
- Choose your urn. Browse through our collection of Engraved Photo Urns, which will be ideal for engraving your design. Our line of Cultured Marble Urns can also be etched with artwork or photos. We can add text such as names, dates, and other inscription information to the urn as well.
