Personally I wouldn't mind. If we were roleplaying over forums for example, it wouldn't make a difference either way and we'd just be going by what each other says, and in-game I have a similar perspective.Â
I get the impression many RPers here are quite understanding, so if you explain you've not leveled it up but your character is a Blacksmith, then I doubt it'd be a huge issue. It's the quality of the RP that matters in the end. You'll probably still get a couple of odd looks wondering why your character isn't the BSM class as the option is there!  I imagine if it was a battle class it might be a bigger issue.
As others have said though, it would probably be helpful to level it up! For starters, you'll get the equipment involved, and the BSM outfit, which would help it be more believable and 'complete'. It would also open up some other RP opportunities - doing IC trades or making weapons, etc. It'll help make a good basis for your character.
Disciple of Hand classes aren't too bad to level up either, especially using leves. I've found myself becoming quite addicted to crafting.Â
There are lots of classes to chose from, so depending on your view on what a 'tinker' is, there could be lots of options!Â
Let me know if you do chose to level it up, as I'll craft you some HQ clothes to help.Â
