I should have some old posts on the boards about clip's brand. It wasn't done professionally. I did the mark Myself. A friend of Mine crafted the metal. Healing time was only about a week because I had used the water method. The mark itself was about three inches high by three wide and was a connected version of the initials "LP". (Meaning the bottom of the L was connected to the top of the letter P.) Water branding is only intended to be a temporary mark and we didn't do anything to enhance the scarification. Since clip is rather light skinned, a person really does have to go looking for the scar to be able to see it. We have to reapply the brand every six months or so for it to be obviously visible. It is a great bonding experience, especially because of the uniqueness of the mark and the fact that I did the strike Myself. Tattooing him would be more permanent, but I'm not qualified to do it and the equipment is rather expensive. It's a very quick, easy way to mark your property, if you like that kind of thing. The health concerns are relatively low as long as you use some common sense about it. Metal isn't likely to cause an infection, so it's just a matter of keeping the area clean after it's done. If you have a specific question that I haven't answered, I'll be happy to do so if you would like to ask.
