Etching in Leather

Good afternoon fellow Friendship is Magic Friends. I have found a leather piece for my Daring Do costume but I want to add her Cutiemark to it. Does anypony know how I might be able to get it done, or where I can send it to have it done? I really appreciate everyone's help on this.

Not sure how much it will help, but usually engravers can help you there. Check your locale for engravers.

Just to make sure that I'm thinking what you're thinking, are you referring to a Jeweler Engraver?

Maybe check with a local leather store? Or hobby shop?

Specifically, I recall that engravers of things like signs and trophies can etch leather as well.

Try to find someone who makes saddles. They could probably do it for you

Is there a Makerspace near you that has a Laser Cutter?

You can raster images into leather with a laser cutter.
One of our members did that here at the Akron Makerspace.

Is a Makerspace a Robotics place?

Oh. I think I know where one of those is. Thank you
