Does anyone know somewhere that would do custom laser engraving on a yoyo?  
I’m looking for a pretty intricate design that I don’t think could be achieved via anodizing or painting.

You’d probably want what’s known as “laser engraving”. I had it done for dog tags for promotional uses.

My experience is to call them up. Email has been impossible for me. You’ll have to ship it out and you may have to pay some sort of set-up and conversion fee. They tend to want an Illustrator vector graphic.
