Sensualips -> Burn baby, burn (4/2/2006 8:54:36 PM)

I know there have been many posts about branding in the past and thought I might share my experience from this week.
Thursday my play partner had me get the branding pen prior to play. It was a medical grade cauterizing pen. He drew something on my butt right above my tat with an ink pen before we started. An hour and half later I was one giant nerve, trembling and jumpy.
He lay me on my stomach. When the heat element touched my skin I jumped. I think I would have jumped if he had poked me with his finger as well -- I was just that twitchy. He waited a moment in quiet while I focused and did some even breathing. When he started again, I was prepared.
It hurt. It felt a bit like a violet wand with the dental pick attachment, but the sizzle sound and the smell really added to the effect. Like a tattoo, longer lines were more painful but the sensation was a burn -- not like the feeling of a tattoo. Not being a masochist, it did nothing for me sensation wise. It was not so bad though and I feel I could have endured a much larger brand if needed. He later said he was a little disappointed I did not scream or cry. Sadistic prick. :p
The thing that suprised me was the almost immediate cessation of burn/pain right afterwards. It was not like a sunburn or a hot stove burn that hurts for a while.. Perhaps because it is such a high temperature - 2400 degrees?
He then helped me up and whispered in my ear. It was a very emotional thing, but I am not even sure I could identify a specific emotion exactly. Then he bit my neck/upper shoulder and smacked the fresh burn.. This time, I did scream.
The brand was the Japensese symbol for strength. Immediately after it looked like a brownish/black thin lines. Two days later there is redness around the lines. I am interested to see the eventual scarification or if there will be any. Often times brands with these pens fade in 6 months to a year, depending on depth of the burn and the person. I am hoping it will eventually be a barely noticeable whitish scar that pops out when the skin reddens. Subtle, but there.
