Engraving, in the grand scheme of things, removes only a very small amount of material and is relatively shallow (think of it as a deep scratch). On old tubas that have been to the shop too many times, you can see that the engraving is nearly buffed out, but that the bell still has plenty of metal left on it.

Not to worry about the effect on tone; the only thing I'd be concerned about is the effect on resale value of the horn.
