I just did a shoot with a model, she had a tag sticking out of her top.  I told her to hide it, and that she'll learn to cut em out before shoots.

I don`t tell them to hide it, I hand them a pair of scissors,lol. Makes damn sure it doesn`t come back out and interrupt the shoot again.

A good stylist has two things.

Tape or a razor to deal with this problem. 

tape if rented.  Razor if purchased.

Bad mistake.

True but not all of us have a crew come along to our shoots

If you own the outfit, you should know that,lol.And there is always a way to mark the item so you can remember. Like perhaps a stitch or two if a certain color thread somewhere on it for dry clean, another color for washable items.

I was just sayin some of us don`t shoot with a crew.Often it is just me and the model.

Interesting subject for me.
I am finishing up my line for the year. Last year I only put my tags in half of my bikinis and this year not at all. I would rather keep my company tag out and have the model be able to wear the bikini for a long time to come than to cut the tag out and accidently cut the bikini too.
It is an odd predictment though. I feel like I should add them in for my company's sake yet I feel like I am doing the models and photographers a favor by not adding my tags in.
So for now, I am leaving them out and will stick with my slogan "The Model Bikini" Ha!

How about a stamp like the tagless t shirts they make these days?  I love that idea. Especially since I wear white t shirts under my chefs coats at work. I hate tags.

Right, and with my luck, the story coming out of the shoot will be...."Crazy photographer goes after model with 8" knike and duct tape"

I don't think so.

What about after-the-fact methods like clone stamp?

Then the items can still be returned after the shoot!

I did mention editing in my OP

I usually have a leatherman ( multi tool) either in my Camera bag or on my belt when I leave the studio. Very important piece of equipment.

Tags look unpolished - even in person. It's like that awful panty line sticking out in tight jeans or the atrocious thong riding higher than the waistline of a woman's pants. Oof.

Of course, you know the thong sticking out of the pants had to become a fashion trend! Ugh. Drives me crazy too. ;-)

Ok, this may belong in the pet peeves forum but I thought I would put it here. I did a search and did not see this discussed anywhere. If a MOD sees this and it is a topic that has been discussed I guess you can kill this one,lol.

Anyway. I have noticed a lot of shots in both model and phoographer portfolios where a model is wearing something sheer, say, panties. She is posed with her back to the camera and there is this obvious tag inside the panties that, to me, sticks out like a sore thumb. I swear, I see this and I know how the guy from  the "Monk" TV show feels when he sees something out of order that he can not fix.

Please, models, carefully remove the tags from your clothing before shooting if there is a possibility it will show through or untuck itself from the clothing. At least cut it as close to the clothing as possible.

Photographers, ask them to do this before the shoot, or at least before the shoot starts.It only takes a few seconds to do if she brings stuff to the shoot with tags still attached. It can be a very simple photoshop fix, but there are times when the pattern on the sheer clothing(lace,etc) can make it a very obvious looking fix that can look worse than if the tag was left alone.

Maybe Tyler should consider making a forum called "Pet Peeves" so all the little problems people have can go there? LOL If I have the wardrobe for the studio, I usually cut the tags out before they are ever warn but mark them with a size indicator. If I forget, then they dont wear anything j/k
