Hey Goo,

    I 've been thinking about the goldsmiths tattoo topic since it
    started. 

    I don't have a tattoo myself. I have often thought of getting one
    for any number of reasons. I guess that's why this topic seems so
    interesting to me. 

    Out of anything I've heard so far I would probably choose a tool,
    because I do love my tools... 

    But, the religious Icon, like one of the saints suggested so far is
    also very interesting and cool. In the fact, that I feel you do
    share some spiritual / personal bond with something you make or
    create, shape or teach to serve your purposes or it's own (be it,
    animal, vegetable or mineral). LOL!!! But I am not a saint... 

    I like the chasing hammer too. It seems like the most popular and
    sensible tool so far. Very phallic... 

    But what about a silhouette of a crucible? (something simple, like
    the handheld kind......Rio #704-032) 

    It seems like a lot of the magic happens right there in that little
    bowl. We create the different mediums here by placing specific
    elements in this special little bowl, in precise proportions, heating
    them to a specific temperature and pouring it out into specific
    shapes to serve our purposes. 

    Taking a solid elements turning them into a liquid and turning it
    back into a solid in a different form and or chemical
    composition......That is magic to me. 

    If I get a goldsmith / metal-smith tattoo I think the crucible is it
    for me... 

Anyway, My 2c...
Hope we get to here the decision.
Aaron
