Yep, I did it. ;P
I came up with this idea independently of anything else (aside from the obvious these-are-made-to-look-like-TY-tags part), but since I am pretty thorough before I go through with something I did research and found that in 2009 at MFF they had their own custom ear tags SORT OF like these that they handed out, but not really. :P
Another fur on FA (whose ID escapes me at the moment) was suiting at work and a coworker decided to create them a custom TY ear tag, but it looked like an actual TY tag and was much bigger and more "professional print" looking than this. o.o;;
So, here's my take. "fur" on the front with "original" in the star, your average warnings on the back along with a working QR code instead of a barcode, that will take you to my fursuiting FA account if you scan it with your smartphone. Inside is your normal left-side with maker info and whatever (I'm LMK and yes I cut, folded and laminated these by hand <.<), and on the right side is Tikka™ along with my real birth date, the meow mix poem (I DIDN'T WRITE THIS I just thought it'd be funny ;P), and my FA URL.
Sooo yeah. I think it turned out pretty neat all things considered. I need to either learn how to properly line these up so I can print them front and back on a single sheet of cardstock, or find a new lamination method or something... because when you bend these it is really hard to do it without screwing up the lamination and having the seal break. Still fine tuning I guess.

Yeah, I don't know if I ever would do that just because of how closely they follow actual TY tags... maybe a little less similar ones sure. I was thinking of maybe coming up with Delaware Furbowl ones with a blue and yellowish gold color scheme and instead of having your name in it do Delaware Furry™, have The Furst State Collection ® on the left hand side and © all the admins names on the left.... then on the back have a barcode instead of a QR code that is generated with an actual number, which would be a combo of the year and the tag number (like 2011 0001, 2011 0002, etc). Front of the tag would have "de" in lowercase and instead of a gold star, do the TFS pawprint. If I did do those, I would do it as a Furbowl fundraiser.
Due to the amount of crazy amazing feedback I've been getting I am REALLY thinking about it. It comes down to a couple things...
1) I need to find a solid lamination method- which probably means investing in an actual laminator. This is to be sure that when the tags are folded, the seal doesn't pop on them.
2) I need to mess with my printer to get the EXACT right settings on these to print both sides on one sheet of cardstock.
3) I need new ink cartridges. ^.^;;
I am getting my holiday bonus right before Christmas- dunno how much yet, but at that time I'll be more able to splurge and pick up the laminator and the ink cartridges. Then, the plan is to crank out a bunch of the DE furry tags to give out at the Delaware Furbowl meets for a $5 donation to The Furst State (www.thefurststate.com), and open up for commissions for these.
With the commissions I will be doing tags just like this one, only with your character's name™, a poem of your choosing, birthdate of your choosing, and your FA address (inside and back in text, and QR code). I probably won't include clips and I'm not sure of pricing yet- the DE ones I am going to give ALL the proceeds to The Furst State so I am eating my expenses on those. *shrug*
I had no idea it was going to be this well received xD

Well i used to use a laminator at my moms work for free, someone stole it so ive been using Staples laminator. They cost 1.00 a laminating sheet and i could do like 15+ on just 5 sheets.
Yeah, they look good so far!
Include clips if you have the funds, if not then dont! I think people can manage and find clips. I offer clips cause at a doller store in town there 1.00 for 8 in a pack.
Well i think it's the cutest thing ever and would look even better on a fursuit ear for like a tag and a brillant idea.
