Engraved Dog Tags
Hip-hop and rapper fashion has always been about looking cool, stylish and tough at the same time. As a playa, you need to look tough enough to defend your turf, protect your hommies, and look hard so nobody will want to mess with you. Hip-hop fashion has adopted a lot of formerly utilitarian items to use for fashion to portray this look of toughness—and military dog tags engraved are one of the most recent of this hardened utility-as fashion trends.
Military look-alike engraved dog tags are one of the innate pillars of masculinity. There was a time where women were not allowed in the military, and the military still has the feel of the “boys only” club, even though history has changed. Because of this historic connection of men with military items, military gear has a distinctly masculine, and a distinctly tough connotation about it. Engraved dog tags are one of those iconic masculine pieces, which is one of the reasons they’ve become so popular in hip-hop and rapper fashion: dog tags engrave make you look tough. They remind you of hard men who carry guns to defend and protect their people, and there is nothing more raw or masculine than that.
Dog tags engrave are also a mark of identification. Military dog tags engrave your name and other identifying information on them, so that if anything happens to you in combat, it will still be possible to recognize and identify you. Fashion engraved dog tags serve the same purpose: they can identify you, your crew, or the side of town you come from with a symbol.
Hip-hop inspired fashion dog tags differ from military issue dog tags in that they are specialized and engraved. You can get your dog tags engraved with your favorite symbol—like dice or a cross – or you can have your dog tags engraved with the symbol of your gang or neighborhood and issue them to members of your gang—much like the military does with its soldiers.
There are so many styles of engraved dog tags to choose from, or you can select your own. A silver tag rimmed with diamonds is a popular choice—standard and tasteful without being too over the top. You can leave most of the dog tag blank and have the dog tag lightly engraved as just a fashion statement, or you can have each side engraved for special meaning. Engraved dog tags can be made either with a motif or a message.
If you’re not sure you want to put your name or any identifying information on your tags, but you like the look of them—have the tags engraved with a skull, or dice or your other favorite symbol. Engraved dog tags are as popular with women as they are with men—so if you want to do something sweet for you woman, get her an engraved dog tag with a romantic rose on one side, and her name on the other, all rimmed with diamonds. After a gift like this, she’ll be crazier about you than ever!
