I kind of like the idea of tattooing the charm from your uncle’s necklace. As long as you don’t get it around your neck (as you said). It would make a small and simple memorial piece. The dog tags might just clutter the design, but I get that you might want to honor his service. I personally would do it without dates, they just make it look like an obvious memorial piece. Memorialize his life rather than his death.

But to go for a larger piece I would follow Buttwheat’s advice and think of something that you enjoyed together and find an image that captures that idea or feeling.

Dont worry, it wont be around my neck..(i figured that out myself xD)
and because its my first i dont want it to be too big.

thanks for the advice,
the chain wont be around my neck
the chain of the dogtag would come on my chest as well…
i want a memorial tattoo for a passed away relative
on the dogtag i want his name and next to the tag would come this pendant
because he had exactly that necklace…
