English term or phrase: daddys little buddy
I would like to get a tattoo of this in ukrinian lettering

татків малюк
Explanation:
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.

А як воно гарно посміхається. Татова донечка, татусева надія... Вона вже майже доросла, їй незабаром 5.

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 ;-)
