DogTrainr4NewPet -> Branding (5/10/2013 3:41:31 AM)

I've seen this topic before, and I've heard both sides, and alternatives... But it's been discussed in My family, and the consensus is the same.
W/we (3, possibly 4 of U/us) would like to carry a matching family mark. W/we've discussed it over and over and W/we've come to decide on a particular brand. It's an EXCEEDINGLY simple tribal silhouette and I've done hours of research about various techniques, what to and not to do, how to design, and health/safety concerns revolving around things like closed loop patterns, over lapping, depth, temperature, duration, etc.
I have even tried on leathers and pig butts.
I've concluded I simply cannot do it to Myself, or My girls. However, W/we still want it done.
My question is this: does anyone in the North Los Angeles / South Ventura county area know of an artist or studio who has MINIMUM 10 years experience in this? I'd prefer electo-cautery or cold to multi, or single strike. Should I not find anyone locally, is there any particularly good method, or research material that will improve this skill? I refuse to have it done untrained or unskilled, and I've been nagged for about a year over the subject. So, this summer I'd like to get it done.
For all you nay sayers:
Unfortunately, I am emotionally against tattooing, as there was a death in the family resulting from one. A) don't care what you say has changed as far as standards go, it's engraved in My mind as a childhood scar, and b) I don't care what you think as far as how "stupid it is." It's simply not an option, and My family had accepted this and picked another avenue. Respect O/our decisions please.
