    I'm surprised no one has brought up the discussion about the safety
    of wondering the world with a goldsmiths mark visible. If it's a way
    to be identified by goldsmiths who might otherwise pass you by in a
    crowd, couldn't one then assume that you might also be identified by
    people who like to target goldsmiths? We are all warned how not to
    draw attention to ourselves when traveling with goods...with a tattoo
    announcing your trade you could become a target even when you're NOT
    carrying goods. The tattoo may be a mark of pride, but it can also
    make you a MARK. Just a thought.
