Titanium Pens
or
Murrini
I would do it like this:
TB
08
I don't think you really need the exact date...just the year. The whole date is a lot of bead surface to cover.

I bought mine from ABRimagery.com. Here's a link that describes the Ti Pen: http://www.aspenglass.com/. They have a list of distributors.
I would suggest signing with the fewest letters/numbers possible like TB '08.

Smurfy5, a member here, sells them. Her prices are quite reasonable.

My favorite way is to use signature cane. They are surprisingly east to make...well I guess that would depend on your initials. Mine was easy  I just can't bring myself to scratch the surface of a bead that took me an hour or more to make. I strive for perfect surfaces and to mar them just kills me

Titanium pens don't scratch the surface. They lay down a fine layer of titanium which can be nearly invisible, and are quite nice for signing work.
Additionally, the titanium is conductive... re: electroforming.

I went with a ti-scribe pen from Ed Slawson of Playing with Fire. His pen has two ends, one is finer tipped than the other so you have two choices for writing... If you watch the top of your screen, they have a banner ad running. The price was very reasonable too.
Just my two cents.
Edited to add: found the link!
