Hiya guys

I have a question which I'm hopping perhaps someone here could assist with

I have a resin dogtag that I will be getting with my sona on it (hasn't been sent yet from the artist) and I would like to do an simple engraving on the back for Character name and mine with perhaps a phone number too

I would like to know where you guys would suggest I go to do that I would imagine it wouldn't cost too much to do and it would give it a nice touch. I'm out near SFU so if you happen to know of one in the area that would be a bonus

thank you guys for your time

A place in Metropolis, think it's called Engraving For You (just a little kiosk on the middle of the hall), will actually put a pretty detailed picture on metal for yah. Might need to use there products though and not sure of the price. If you're going to carry something around your neck, I'm sure you can come up with something better then a made up version of yourself.

if i understand this correctly, the artist will be making an engraving of your 'sona' on one side and you want to engrave the other info on the other side.  if the artist can engrave one side is it not possible to have the artist engrave the info on the other so when it gets to you you can wear it immediately?

if it is jut the basic info such as name, sin, blood type and religion you want on your dog tag, then any engraver can do it for you.  it is just a matter of doing a normal engraving.  check out lougheed mall, 2nd floor close to the food court, there is an engraver near there.

no she drew the picture traditionally using Copic markers to color and sealed it with a resin drop on top of the metal backing of the tag so yeah I could wear it as is just thought it would be a nice touch for the back of it which is blank. It would be basic info on the back pretty much sona name,  mine and a phone number so yeah ill definately check out the place on lougheed on their prices

thanks tokar
