Dog Tags have come a long way from just being worn by the military. Dog Tags, just so you know, are the identification tags worn by military personnel, and were so named because of their resemblance to a dog’s name tag.  These (dog tag) are aluminum metal plates, usually rectangular in shape and with rounded edges. It is worn around the neck with a ball chain.

If you have been hiding under a rock and have just crawled out lately, dog tags nowadays are no longer worn just by the military personnel anymore.  They have found their way into fashion as well.  But no longer are they as boring as a soldier’s dog tag.  They have been turned fashionable and with more bling into it.

Hip Hop artists are known for their flair to wear something ordinary and turn it into style.  Dog tags have not been exempted.  Just take a look around you.  You will see lots of people, usually from the hip hop community, wearing dog tags as a statement in fashion.  In print ads, music videos and TV commercials, you’ll see famous artists, such as Eminem or Snoop Dogg, wearing bling dog tags.

Worn proudly around the neck for all to see, these bling dog tags come in different colors and designs.  From  gold plated dog tags to pure sterling silver, either decked out with precious stones or other stylish designs molded to it.  Some have dollar signs engraved or embossed, or initials in large bold letters, while there are plenty other designs that you can possibly think about.

Check out a few of these bling dog tags!
