Off the bat...The image is cropped in an odd place. It looks like a mistake, if it's on purpose, cut off more. Coloring here is wonderful. Everything flows together nicely. Type is missing but that seems to be a losing battle on my end. Over all, good work. 7/10
I disagree with you're addiction to text on tags. I don't think all tags need to have text, they are basically just an image set to a specific dimension, they don't need to represent you in any way. I'm just stating my opinion on the matter. Thanks a lot though man, I really appreciate it.
As far as text goes, it's not an addiction. This is where art meets design. Art deals mostly with the aesthetics which you have nailed down pretty good. Design is the function and purpose which is where it falls short. Yeah, it looks nice, but it's not informative, and I wouldn't call it a signature, it's more-so a cropped image...and not much more. Like I said, it looks great...but at the same time, it doesn't tell me anything.... That's where text, or even a logo comes into play.
