Gorean slaves have the kef or the dina. I'm not aware of any common symbol specific to BDSM slaves or Masters.

zaphira likes the pinwheel.

Somehow though, this slave doubts very much that she could talk Master into wearing one

I wear the symbol of roissy as a tattoo, its pretty similar to the BDSM symbol though (triskel)

I have a friend who has slave in Chinese on her ankle.

I do not know of a common symbol tho

For tattoos, some people wear the Japanese kanji (sp) to indicate slave.

But if you're talking about a key chain or pendant so people walking down the street could identify you, there isn't anything that screams out you're a top or bottom.

i have the kanji for slave tatooed on my lower back, along with a crouched panther

as far as a symbol for a Master? i would think his presence would be all he would need to wear

I have a shirt that says "Kiss me im a Sadist" does that count?
Most people seem to go with the japanese or chinese symbol, as I have no heritage that far east, I dont... Wonder what it would look like in Gaelic?

gotta watch what ya wear with the collars, you might just get mistaken for a goth instead :P

Iv'e got a pair of handcuffs tattooed on inside of my arm, one side closed the other open. Has two meanings for me.One to represent my lifestyle choice.The other to symbolise the start and end of a long relationship.

Ropes, chains, whips and a few other things could be incorporated into the design of either jewellery or tattoos.

I would wear with love and pride whatever He decides for me to wear as a symbol that I am His owned slave (He has talked to me about tattooing or branding me, possibly piercing one of my ears himself the way slave owners did a long time ago...) however the mark He has placed on me within - on my heart and soul - is more powerful than what is without.

I found this site interesting.

As for Universal who knows I doube that the majority of people who are active in each of the lifestyle listed even know there is a flag that goes with their Kink.

Or the word abadim in Ancient Egyptian.

Many (including myself) use this kanji

There's a popular site based in the UK that uses this one:
