Where to go....My first Tattoo Calendar...

[Inked Photography]

So I am pretty stocked about this. I will be working with a local Tattoo shop on creating a calendar. Which fits me perfect. Don't you think? lol!! Anyway, there are plenty of local sources but I was curious if anyone of my fellow camelers have done a calendar and what source you used to print that calendar. Obviously I want to make a decent profit and not spend much. Not at the risk of a quality calendar though. Can someone help me out with a web-site or something?

Totally awesome that is right up your alley, congrats. I don't have any experience on printing calendars but I would first want to know what the client plans on charging for the calendars if they are going to sell them or give them away. That way I knew what margin I was looking at for pricing. Just my 2 cents.

They are mostly for self-promotion. But we are selling them. We are looking at the range of $25.00 per calendar. The only free ones I plan on giving away are for the clients who we used in the calendar.

I looked up on Vista Print and it looks like they can print photo calendars for around $10 a piece. Once again I am not familiar with doing this I am just letting you know what I found with a quick search. I have been happy with vista for business cards and I have seen some others use them on here as well.

vista is great. I have used them before. A lot depends on the qty. also. I looked at a few sights this morning and found that if I order 100 calendars they range from $8-$10.
