I like the idea of the combo of the 2 for the reason that it not only would honor your friends memory with the dog tags but the rifle with the helmet would also be a tribute to all who have payed the ultimate price. Kudos to you for such a wonderful idea!

I like the dogtag idea too. Where are you going to put it? The M-16 would look cool on the outer ankle or something but I think it sounds a little butch. If that is not what you want to imply, then go for the dogtags. Ok, maybe not "butch", but hardcore. I think any form of tribute/memorial tattoo for this guy is a good idea. I have a memorial tattoo to my grandparents but you wouldn't know by looking at it. It is a hummingbird with a star. Only my family can tell who it is for.

The dogtags with the name or initials on one and KIA on the other, with not forgotton. The M16 is a little masculine. But just so you know, When you see the helment and M16 with the bayonet and boots in a ceremony, the dogtags are there too. They are hanging from the pistol grip. So if you want to throw that in there, that is the actual military ceremonial way of doing it. Paratroopers have spitshined jumpboots and the mother or girlfreind/wife should get the jump wings and the father/brother/bestfreind the beret.

I love the dogtags idea. I'm not sure the m-16 would look right.

Wow, what a nice idea! I think the dogtag one would be a really great memorial. That's really sweet. I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

I really like the dog tag idea...but, if you want a combo of the two, go to the tatoo parlor and tell them your idea....the tatoo artist should be able to draw you something that may interest you...good luck

I think the combo of the two would be really cool together i would draw them out first and see which looks best

if you've already decided you're getting a tattoo, then I like the dogtag idea

That's awesome. Maybe a cross with the dog tags hanging on it and a helmet on top instead of the M16? Sorry for your loss.
