MsRad Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 yes. i try to collect business cards for every tattoo artist that i've met, good or bad. i in general collect business cards and showcards (for art shows, not concerts), and i currently have a box that is over flowing and i'm in trying to get organized.

kylegrey Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Check out the Tattoo Archive site as recommended elsewhere on here they have a whole section devoted to old time business cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Kersey Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I've got some, I try to grab them when I am at a shop or getting worked on, not nearly enough though. I think they are really cool, I'm into stickers too.

Valerie Vargas Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 i have a few but i guess its not in my mind to pick up a few as i go along, it think it will be a new years resolution for me to start on this, thanks for bringing it up!

gougetheeyes Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I always start this and then lose interest/lose the cards. This could be a thing for 2011 to start at the Philly convention -- now I just need a place to put em.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Schubert Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Got a ton of em. I'll have to share some of the cooler ones at some point on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Yarian Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'm terrible, I'm just not a hoarder and often wind up tossing the cards I collect at conventions.): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shit Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'm OCD when it comes to business cards.I used to have hundreds from going to conventions,and shops.I carry a wallet just for business cards,so when i meet someone,and were talking about tattoos,i pull out my thick wallet full of cards,and give them a few..And when i go to a shop,i like to grab like 10 cards,so i can have reserves.

dari Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Speaking of business cards, I'm having some made for LST, to help spread the word and grow our community of knowledgeable tattooers and enthusiasts. If you se me in Philly or anywhere else, please grab a stack. They're not fancy, I went more for volume and basic info. However, if any of you start collecting fancy yoga business cards, you'll definitely need one of mine. Scott's business card is pretty special, too, and he actually does make the sweet tats.

RockelMan Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Business cards are a really cool way to help others when information is needed. Unlike most people I don't have a cell phone on me all the time (its for emergencies like for calling a tow truck and even then I usually don't have it on me LOL sigh. . .) So if I need a phone number or an address or something of the sorts they are great to have in your wallet! Also regarding ones for tattoo shop/artists its great when someone stops me to admire my tattoos and I have a card for that artist to give the admirer.

TexasJavi Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I dig collecting cool looking or hilarious cards! But i end up just shoving them in a junk drawer after a while and forget all about them...i'll use one when i need to draw straight lines in a small drawing...
