    to all - i am wondering what symbols done as a tattoo people think
    could be apprpriate to identify a person as a goldsmith. as a
    metalsmith and jewelry maker since 1981 what icons could i choose
    that if another jeweler or goldsmith saw the mark they would know i
    am a fellow goldsmith. tattoo's are quite popular, i have resisted
    being tattoo'd because my personal reasons are the meaning behind
    the tattoo. i think a tattoo has significant meaning for the person
    wearing it. personally i think a tattoo is used in cultures as has
    specific meaning for that culture. for example it could be related
    to that individuals status in a particular social culture for example
    a tattoo can be the marking to signify a rite of passage. so as a
    goldsmith what would be the proper markings ? ive thought that
    perhaps a design that incorporated AU or 585 or 95/5 pt please tell
    me your thoughts on the matter - 

best regards goo
