The second side of the stone

Every Tablestone has two sides. The first side carries the QR code — that's non-negotiable, it's the entire point. The second side is yours.

For ten dollars you can add an engraving to the reverse: a word, a name, a monogram, a small shape, a logo.

What we engrave — and what we don't

We engrave things that have meaning to you and aren't harmful to someone else. That's the short version. The longer version is:

• A name. First name, last name, initials, a family nickname — fine. The recipient's, yours, your grandmother's.
• A word. "Remember." "Home." "Yes." Whatever.
• A symbol. Small, single-line. Think: a heart, a mountain, a compass, a wave.
• A logo or mark. Yours, or one you have permission to use.

We run every design through an AI tool (Google's image model, currently) that draws a clean, minimal, laser-friendly version of whatever you describe. A person reviews it before it goes to the laser. Sometimes we'll email you asking for more detail or suggesting a simpler design that'll engrave more cleanly.

What we don't engrave:

• Logos we can't verify you have rights to. If you upload a brand logo, we run it through a trademark detector; if it looks like a registered mark and you're not the brand, we'll email you.
• Faces of real people. Too easy to get wrong.
• Text in a language we can't read. If we can't translate it, we can't verify it isn't something we wouldn't engrave in English.
• Anything sexual, violent, or hateful. You know what those are.

Why the extra care

A Tablestone is permanent. Whatever we cut into it is there forever. We would rather email you an extra time and get it right than engrave something you'll regret, or something that hurts someone else.
