my Domme is thinking about having me branded. She says She wants everyone to know who i belong too. i'm afraid of the pain. How bad is it?



bbwsubnnorcal -> RE: Branding? (10/28/2007 1:31:56 PM)

By your own opinion on your profile, you state that "slaves don't have rights, only duties."

By that statement, why are you even asking?  You do what she tells you to do.

Now with that said, ask yourself these questions----

A) How long has she been your Mistress?  If the answer is "not that long" then your nuts for getting it. Unlike a bad tattoo, this can't be covered up. IT'S PERMANENT. (aka never going away in your lifetime)

B) Just how committed are you to Her and how committed is She to you??  If she is doing this as a way of taking complete ownship/responsibility of you and to show you her feelings for you---then suck it up and do it.  If she's doing this as an "ego-thang" and to show the world how big her proverbial "cock" is---then run as fast as you can in the opposite direction.

C) If you decide that this is the best thing in the world and it's only the pain you obsessing on---remember this.... a woman is capable of handling 72 hours of labor to birth a child...are you THAT much of a wuss that you can't handle a few moments of discomfort??


This may sound slightly bitchy... but then so am i...

Permanent branding is more than "a few moments of discomfort".  Not that it will kill you.  :)

There are other less dangerous ways of permanently marking a person, but if you are going with the branding, make sure that the person knows what the hell they are doing.  Check out Fakir's sites, like www.bodyplay.com and get actual information on how to design the brank, and how to do it without winding up in the emergency room.

If you're even questioning it a little- then don't do it right now. It's permenant. This should be done because you know you want it, not because it seemed like a good idea when you were turned on. Maybe at some point you'll feel ready and make an informed decision, but there shouldn't be a rush into it.

I have two brands done by a former Lady.  They were done with a medical cauterizer pen.  As far as the "how much does it hurt" element goes.  Frankly it did not hurt that much at the time of , since the pen is so hot it vaporized everything it touched includling the nerves and I was floating in a good sub/endorphin space after playing previous to the moment of branding.  Afterwards it does ache and smart  and the utmost care must be taken to keep it from becoming infected.   I can not speak of other ways of getting a brand since I have not experianced it.  I have witnessed a friend being branded by a striker is all.

I have my former Lady's initial branded on the back of my neck and it is a perfect scar.  I also have a huge keloid on my left upper arm where she branded, but it got infected and scarred terribly.  So if you do this you must be prepared for the consequences if something goes wrong..if the relationship ends and what any future Dominant you have might think of it.  

I have negotiated with a number of Dominants and actually was in another power exchange with a Lady later on after the branding.  All of them had issues with the brands and wanted to remove or change them in some way.  During my negotiation process this issue came up and I held my ground on the marks saying that they must take them as part of who I am.  They must deal with the scars on my body as well as any other issues from previous relationships.  In the end they accepted it and respected my wishes regarding the brands. 

Personally..it was a huge rush for me to have it done.  I realize each person is different, but if it is something you are willing to accept the good and bad of later then do it..if you have doubts..wait a bit.   For me, the brands are just another physical reminder of where I have been..and where I have grown to since I had it done.  If I had the chance to go back in time and change anything...I would do it all over again.

Regards and respects to all,
Dils

Branding is a way of proving your comitment to your mistress/master.

If you are willing to brave the pain for your mistress then it proves a lot to her/him.

If you are questioning it, then you're not ready.

Its painful (I cant tell you that from personal experience but I have a few subs who flew across the room when I did my G on their hips [;)]) and permenant.

Would you get a tattoo of her name on you?

Yes, go for the branding.

No, then forget it.



MasterFireMaam -> RE: Branding? (10/28/2007 8:55:50 PM)

Depends on what you have done. I have two brands, one on each of my forearms. They're in braille, so there's 39 dots on one arm and 49 dots on the other. I feel they hurt slightly more than my tattoos. One of the things that WAS different is that with the tats, once the gun isn't putting ink into your skin, it pretty much stops hurting, unless you poke at it. With a brand, it continues burning for several hours. But, honestly, it's not intolerable.

Branding is deliberately causing third degree burns into the flesh for the purpose of scarification.  And while you can try, there is really no telling how the scars will heal based on your own body's reaction to the burn and the trauma inflicted.

It's a ritual that I personally feel is well suited to a long term masochist slave furthering their commitment to their owner.  Beyond that, perhaps a personal ritual for empowerment and growth.  I can't see this sort of scarification for someone you met online, casually see or don't live with.  But that's just me. (And I do fine line branding myself...)



MsCfromMelbourne -> RE: Branding? (10/30/2007 1:50:38 AM)

I have seen scars that were works of art and very beautiful, no matter who your Mistress might be in the future.  They are a very personal statement about you that you carry for the rest of your life (much like choosing a tattoo)

I also know several men who are furious they have initials scarred into them (admittedly by cutting, not branding).  Long after the Mistress has found a new boy toy to play with, they have to explain some silly woman's initials to all and sundry who see the scars.

On balance, I think if you wouldn't marry your Mistress at this time (have you proposed?), I don't think a branding is wise in the long run.  Wait until you are really committed.



Politesub53 -> RE: Branding? (10/30/2007 2:22:13 AM)

Having a brand or tattoo done doesnt mean a relationship will last for ever.... Once done a tattoo can at least be altered if needed. Think very carefully as to whether this is something you want forever, regardless of how the relationship works out.
