We've considered this before, but I've found a possibly local source for custom printed tags now so its become something we could do now.
Would you like your monster to come with a small official fabric tag? It would be sewn into a seam, likely at a hind leg.
Customs could have the option of tag or no tag.

(other) yes, if there’s an option for a tag with a loop instead of it being sewn

I love the idea of tags but maybe in the form of a necklace or tag that is hidden for when it comes to taking pictures!

Other: Agreeing with the other comment, yes if not sewn on! A tag on a bit of string or twine that could be easily taken on and off would be preferred to a fabric tag that's sewn into a seam. Or perhaps a looped fabric tag with a hook and loop closure the creatures could wear like jewelry? Many of the horrors have a very life-like quality to them, and a sewn-in tag would break that illusion.

Monsters' Advocate

I agree a necklace like tag that could be easily taken off and put back on would be fun!

Perhaps the sewn-in fabric tag would be for the shop only ones? The custom works would have it as a necklace? Heck, a fabric collar with a trademark design on it would be the cutest thing in the world. Or even use the design to make a little story/adoption papers/certificates of authenticity?

Personally I would love to see something like the steiff bear buttons, or something else that lies a little closer to the body and is more unobtrusive than a tag. I feel a lot of fans love photographing your work and a prominent sewn-in tag wouldn’t look very nice.

Kalores

I would definitely love it as a necklace, that way I can choose when I want to have it on~

Other - I think tags are a good idea but I really wouldn't want a sewn-on one on my purchases, I like to try and take naturalistic pictures and it would really take away from that. I do think optional tags are a good idea (possibly automatically sewn onto store purchases and con sales? I think those definitely should have tags of some kind, not necessarily sewn on). I would support necklace/pinned-on/tag-gun ones in all circumstances. I am a bit conflicted because I do also think it would be really cool to have tags, and be good for people who end up rehoming their horrors, and be kind of "official," but the photographing issues outweigh that (& the need to take photos at odd angles eliminates any seam from really hiding them), and they don't really have to tagged for authenticity when your sculpts are all unique to you/your brand. tl;dr if you do sewn on tags, please make them optional.

I'm not crazy about a sewn-on tag. How about something like an Adoption Certificate to denote it being an official Worms and Bones Homemade Horror? I also like the idea of a special pinned-on item. Maybe do a fabric or hard plastic version of your Homemade Horrors logo with an attached loop that could be pinned or 'worn' by your critters?

I actually like the thought of a tag but not one sewn in as it can distract in pictures. I was thinking possibly a tag that could be a removeable necklace. Something like a dog tag perhaps? It still gives all the information but can still be removeable for pictures and the like.

Agreeing with the other comments, I don’t mind the idea of tags, but I’d prefer if they were removable as opposed to sewn in :)
