Quick update. It was the size of the image that was the problem. I resized the icon to 20x20 all it worked as expected! After getting this to work i found out I wanted to do this will normal text instead. So now I'm using a UTF-8 circle and change the color of this circle if the tag is occupied. I'm happy to share the theme if anyone is interested. The theme is based of copycat-killer's rainbow.
