By robeless, I assume you mean in one's birthday suit.  It would seem
therefore that tattoos would be the answer, although those who have not yet
reached the irreversible level might be advised to think twice.  Cicatrices 
and branding might also make interesting badges of attainment in several 
ways -- certainly as a way of deterring some of the less desirable claimants 
to success.

Best wishes,
