татків малюк

Daddy is not really full name such as " father", it's from dad (more colloquial). The same is with "buddy" and than we can see in the dictionaries that buddy is:
buddy
n амер. разг. 2. малыш (в обращении).

Thus we should combine "little" and "buddy" in this expression.

У Німеччині 3-х річний малюк викрав татків автомобіль http://www.resonance.gov.ua/archive/2004/20/narkota.php?acti...
А як воно гарно посміхається. Татова донечка, татусева надія... Вона вже майже доросла, їй незабаром 5.

батькiв малий друже

But! -- don't be in a hurry to make the tattoo. Who knows? Tattoo is a decision for the rest of your life. Think twice -- or even ten times ;-)
Peer comment(s):

neutral Vladimir Dubisskiy : does not make much sense in Ukrainian. Esp. "батькiв". And one can make a temp tattoo -no problem here.
