DaddyChipmunk -> Branding Instructions (11/1/2007 7:40:19 AM)
My slave and I are considering a brand. Does anyone know of a site that has good instructions on how to do this safely and properly?

mnottertail -> RE: Branding Instructions (11/1/2007 7:58:08 AM)
Think cauterization pen and pro's(at least for advice), for branding. Everything else is iffy, unless you are going for an episode of Scarred. Ron

I would take a class on it to make sure there is no serious injury done to your sub. Try contacting one of these people: http://tattoo.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ/Ya&sdn=tattoo&cdn=style&tm=19&gps=115_214_1020_587&f=00&su=p284.8.150.ip_&tt=14&bt=1&bts=1&zu=http%3A//www.bodyplay.com/school/branding.htm

Go to a local tattoo/piercing shop and see if they do brandigs, it's a pretty common thing these days. If you want to do it yourself, I wouldn't do anything big, and I would stick to single strikes (heat it up, touch in one place, discard). If you want to do it yourself, you should definently find out about proper aftercare to both avoid infection and keep your lovely new scar in good shape.

with cautery pen branding available i would totally avoid strike brandind...you can buy your own cautery pen and teach yourself without doing too much damage...but it would be much better if you could find someone in person to teach you to do it...its dealing with really fucking hot metal after all...

Phoenix2raven -> RE: Branding Instructions (11/4/2007 5:29:11 PM)
As others have said go to a pro or you may permanently damage the property. If you decide to do it yourself you will have to first get an apprenticeship at a tattoo/branding shop. That is not an easy thing to do in any state. http://www.tattoo-spot.com/Alabama/index.cfm

Depending on how many shops are in the area and the amount of business they get was a factor for me,"for piercing" not branding. I suppose if it was a big city it may be easier than east po dunk NH.lol Also most good shops have a waiting list for apprenticeships and the other training thats required like blood born pathogens training. etc.

Excuse me but it appears that you have misunderstood what I'm saying. In any case I will bow out and hope the op got what he needed.

chellekitty -> RE: Branding Instructions (11/5/2007 9:00:41 PM)
if i have missunderstood what you are saying, please feel free to further explain...however, i have had first hand experience with being branded by 3 different people, the first was self taught, the second i was the first person she branded and she is a professional tattoo artist and piercer (she learned to brand by attending a bdsm workshop), the third learned from others in the bdsm community...the third was the best, the second was the worst...i am sure that was due to experience...but...from what experience are you speaking from?

Sakinah -> RE: Branding Instructions (11/6/2007 8:06:21 AM)
greetings, sakinahs was done with a cauterizing pen well wishes

Phoenix2raven -> RE: Branding Instructions (11/6/2007 11:00:54 AM)
My experience is as person who assists in doing 9 point suspensions with hooks.Thus being exposed to allot of people who have been branded. I have seen many brands that turned out very badly because they were done by people who took a workshop or were self taught. I’m not saying that all self taught or workshop taught branders are hacks. For that matter I’ve seen some really bad ones done by so called pro’s that were formally trained. What I’m saying for the benefit of any one asking for advice about branding is choose carefully. Simply because if it was me or my submissive being branded I would want the best because of the permanence of branding. As for your statement about: when you are dealing with a tool that heats up to 1200 degrees centigrade you don't have to worry much about blood borne pathogens. Yes I agree but I was referring to any one who works in a tattoo, piercing shop has to have blood born pathogens training annually. quote: ORIGINAL: chellekitty if i have missunderstood what you are saying, please feel free to further explain...however, i have had first hand experience with being branded by 3 different people, the first was self taught, the second i was the first person she branded and she is a professional tattoo artist and piercer (she learned to brand by attending a bdsm workshop), the third learned from others in the bdsm community...the third was the best, the second was the worst...i am sure that was due to experience...but...from what experience are you speaking from?

YourhandMyAss -> RE: Branding Instructions (11/11/2007 10:14:41 AM)
also be aware that some designs will distort, and keeping it simple from the little I know about it, is supposed to be better. intriquet designs don't work to well. supposedly.

chellekitty -> RE: Branding Instructions (11/11/2007 1:53:34 PM)
i am not saying to be uneducated about the subject...its just that you don't need a formal education to do it... and yes, the scar from a burn will not so much distort but broaden....so if the lines are too close together they join each other, and if the whole design is a bunch of small lines to close together it is a big blob...no matter what tool you use...

MasterFireMaam -> RE: Branding Instructions (11/11/2007 7:58:31 PM)
If you are willing to travel, I can recommend someone in Atlanta. Sam Martin did my brandings and I'm VERY happy with them. Here's the process we went through. Note: seeing these images is NOT enough education to do it yourself. Either have someone like Sam teach you or do it for you. http://masterfiremaam.com/PageImages/Firebrand/Brands.htm Master Fire

Seriously, if you think that you "can't do too much damage" with a Bovie pen...you probably shouldn't be giving out advice on its use. By it's mechanics, it causes 3rd degree burns. Depending on the tip selected, the tip can plunge far beyond the dermis. Having worked with electrocautery in a surgical suite as well as the Bovie pens in a playspace, I can report from extensive experience that the disposable Bovies are rather unpredictable and can be inconsistent in the heat they deliver. And another untruth that you've exposed in another thread -- any opening created into the body exposes the practitioner to bloodborne pathogens, whether you SEE blood or not. BBP is not just protection for the practitioner, but also for the protection of the patient/subject who is exposed to pathogens from others around them (another patient/person the practioner was handling or contamination from equipment or environment.) There are capillaries involved in the layers that should be involved in a branding, and plasma (a blood product) can rush to the site of a burn as the body response to cooling. Depending upon the area involved, if an electrocautery goes beyond the traditional depth of 1-2cm, it can run the risk of traversing larger vessels.
