Industrial-style Dog Tags

Industrial design is popping up everywhere these days, be it in home interiors (think stainless steel kitchen appliances & exposed water pipes), the auto world (who really needs a Hummer?), and of course fashion-land (especially in punk rock with chain wallets & steel-toe boots). So the next logical step would be for industrial design to go to the dogs.

These stylish pet tags from Artfulpups are hand-cut by artists Kris Spikes and Luke Mount from recycled aluminum diamond plate, the stuff tool boxes, pickup truck beds, and floors in factories, warehouses and auto mechanics shops are made of.

Choose the shape of an oval, diamond or square, or go a little crazy and try the “unusual” shape for a distinctive design that’s truly one-of-a-kind. The front of each tag is custom-stamped with whatever cool phrase you can come up with, while the back contains contact information in case your doggie gets lost. These lightweight, yet extremely durable tags are then polished to a sparkly shine, all ready to deck out your pet’s neck in high style.

Why bother with a ho-hum, ordinary tag, when your dog can rock a unique, personalized, handcrafted industrial piece of art?
