Personalized Custom Dog Tags & Military ID Dogtags - Not Just For Soldiers Anymore.

In today's modern world there's hardly anyone who is not familiar with dog tags - the pair of silver, oval metal tags worn by soldiers and servicemen both now and in decades past. In recent years, the wearing of dog tags has found its way into the fashions favored by the younger generation through a style first termed as "military chic.” Originally, dog tags were worn as a part of a pseudo-style of military uniform by teens and college students but have since gained prominence in broader fashion circles, also becoming popular with celebrities.

Dog tags can be engraved with a person's personal details, sentiments for a loved one, a favorite quote, or the name and/or logo of a popular band or performer. At TheAwristocrat.com we offer an extensive selection of fun and colorful custom dog tags ready to be personalized to your specifications.

While there are several dog tag formats extant around the world, it's the U.S. Army dog tags with which we are most familiar. They list the surname, given name, social security number (originally service number), blood type and religion of the wearer - stamped on small oval pieces of metal that are worn on a metal chain around the neck. The U.S. Army was the first branch to authorize identification tags. After WWII, the U.S. Navy Department adopted the same dog tags used by the U.S. Army and Air Force, which led to a single size and shape to become the American standard of today.

In recent years, new materials like silicone, colored metals and plastics, and methods of machine or laser engraving have given birth to personalized dog tags. Gone is the day of the boxy, sometimes unevenly spaced letters detailed on a silver or gold-colored metal blank which was only available in the standard round or oval shape and in limited sizes. Today’s custom dog tags can be created to the specifications of the wearer; designs, colors, and sentiments are only limited by your imagination.

In addition to a varied palate of colors like red, green, orange, purple, or even reflective choices like holographic silver, dog tags now come shaped like hearts, paw prints, dog or cat faces, and even dog houses. It's even possible to find shapes like a skull and crossbones, dog bones, suitcases, stars, t-shirts and the Liberty Bell. Now, anyone can buy personalized dog tags and include any type of custom message or design. New laser engraved custom dog tags engrave in a frosty white for a great eye-catching contrast of colors. Modern dog tags or I. D. tags have clearly come a long way from their humble beginnings as a way to keep track of servicemen.
