What do you call someone with inscription?

A person with alchemy is an alchemist, a person who takes blacksmithing is a blacksmith, and a person who mines is a miner. But what do you call a person who takes the inscription profession?

Actually, I don't really care what everyone else thinks--I'm going to be an inscripticator.

Q u o t e:
inscription...

wouldn't being an inscriptor make more sense than inscriber?

edit: dang. got beat by less than a minute by two people. gj.

[Middle English inscripcioun, statement giving the author or title of a book, from Latin Ä«nscrÄ«ptiÅ, Ä«nscrÄ«ptiÅn-, from Ä«nscrÄ«ptus, past participle of Ä«nscrÄ«bere, to inscribe. See inscribe.]

I say inscriber, and I stand by that choice.

Scribe doesn't accurately fit the inscription profession really, it's more than being a copy editor. It's short, and hey you can call it whatever you want, but at current the profession designer is going with Inscriber.

Inscriptionist doesn't appear to be a valid word/title. Not that using proper English naming conventions have ever stopped us, but it's usually a good front barrier guideline.
