Goo,

    How about the old arts and crafts arm and hammer with a "hand
    wrought" in A&C fonts? I couldnt find an example, but I do remember
    seeing one in Christie Romero's "Warman's Jewelry" book: 

    http://www.center4jewelrystudies.org 

    You can also look up Kalo Shop, Chicago, jewelry. The ball peen
    hammer is pretty universal for gold/silver/platinumsmiths. 

    Traditional Americana style tattoos often feature old mine cut
    diamonds. Think OMC diamonds, "pirate" ships, and an anchor on the
    arm. Look into the work of Sailor Jerry: www.sailorjerry.com 

    S.J. isnt around anymore, but as with our industry- his style lives
    on through his mentees. 

    Im sure the Orchid Symbol would be recognised!!! 

Good Luck,
Kennon
