Guest spot and convention booking cards
Hand cards at conventions and mail local clients two weeks before travel guest spots - physical card survives badge wallet better than saved Instagram highlight.
Front: Signature healed piece, "Guest spot Portland March 12–18 - book now."
Deposit: "$100 deposit holds slot - non-refundable within 48 hours" if that is actual policy.
Back: Booking email format "SUBJECT: Guest spot [dates]," portfolio QR with quiet zone for hall scanning.
City-specific batch codes track which guest spot mail waves produce deposits within 14 days.
Waitlist reactivation and flash drop announcements
Mail waitlist when flash sheet releases - drop date, one-per-client limit, arrival time policy on back. Flash drops sell in minutes; mail arriving day-before beats social-only announcement for clients who muted notifications.
Drop date boldest: "Flash sheet drops Saturday 10 AM - waitlist only."
Arrival policy: "Line forms 9 AM - no saving spots" reduces queue conflict.
Separate creative from guest spot card - flash urgency differs from travel booking timeline.
Shop referral and apprentice mentorship cards
Leave stacks at host shops during guest spots - style tags, sterilization cert available on request, cross-referral policy for work outside your specialty.
Clearance line: "Laser clearance documentation required if applicable."
Mixing cover-up and guest spot on one card confuses convention clients seeking travel bookings.
Why 4×4 blue velvet suits tattoo artists
Badge wallet fit - clients flash square in appointment line when booth manager asks "who are you booked with?" Velvet reproduction handles blackwork photography without ink blowout on screen.
38pt stiffness survives convention hall pocket friction. Square stands out in artist card swap rituals - rectangle stacks blur together.
Portfolio QR
Curated healed gallery landing - not full flash sheet PDF that crashes mobile browsers in convention Wi-Fi dead zones.

Convention cards with wrong dates generate public complaints - verify host shop agreement before press.
Guest dates: Match host shop calendar and your travel booking system.
Deposit amount: Matches studio policy posted on website and intake form.
Portfolio QR: Test on three phones in dim light - convention halls have terrible connectivity.
Healed photo: Client release on file for hero image used on card.

Start From a Postcard Template
4×4 blue velvet templates center portfolio QR with quiet zone for convention hall scanning. Deposit policy footer on back at readable size - not 6pt legalese. Reuse grid across guest spot cities - swap dates, city name, and host shop credit line only.
