Blank Dog Tag

Blank dog tags can serve many purposes, some are practical and important, and others are just for fun. The practical purposes are for example, the identification of a person who has severe allergies to medications. If this person has an accident or for some reason is taken to the hospital unconscious, the attending doctor will look at his tag and know he is allergic to certain medication.

Military personnel use them so they can be easily identified if they fall in battle or are wounded and need special attention. A small child can also wear a dog tag with his name, address and phone number where his parents can be reached in case he is lost. This is especially useful if the child is small and does not know this information by heart. A person with Alzheimer’s disease can also wear one with his name and address in case he wonders off and does not remember who he is or where he lives.

Blank tags may be bought in a variety of jewelry stores, are made of many different metals and can come with or without the necklace or chain. Medical tags have a medical symbol on one side to indicate that it should be read before treatment. Regular tags often come blank, so you can have whatever you want written or designed on them.

One popular choice of writing is to have your name on one tag and your girlfriend’s name on the other. It makes her feel you belong to her and that you are properly tagged as private property, so hands off! This can be a good choice if you would like to impress the girl and make her happy. Another possible choice is to have some kind of message or saying written on it, words someone said and you want to keep close to your heart.

Girls are wearing tags too, so you can get a blank dog tag and have it set with colorful crystals around the edge and have your name in the middle. Just make sure that the material is at least stainless steel, you don’t want your girlfriend wearing a “green collar” around her neck under the dog tags and chain you gave her.

Some people have their cars or motorcycles etched on the blank dog tags. Most anything can be put on them. The inscribing process is done with a computer, the operator will feed in the design, the font and the words you want, into the computer and it will do the rest of the job by itself. So let your imagination fly and get whatever you have in mind written on your tags.

Always remember that blank dog tags are not only fun items, they are also used for medical purposes. So if you ever find yourself in a position to help someone that is hurt or unconscious and he is wearing tags, make sure you read what they say before doing anything else. You may be saving his life by doing so.
