Okay, maybe not outre enough for some of you. But has anyone here been branded? I have seen web pages showing it being done with what looks like a soldering iron, which doesn’t interest me all that much. I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has had the “strike” method done.

I knew a guy who branded himself, but with a Zippo. I mean, he did it on purpose. He had balls, and I don’t mean just because of that. Then again, I could question his stability…
He had balls? Where did he brand himself, that he no longer has them? (sorry, I couldn’t resist)
What ever method be prepared, I hear its agonizing.
I am branded. Young, drunk and stupid. Red hot metal just sizzzzzzzeling into my upper arm. Wheeeee! It’s a heart shape and fortunately, it’s faded quite a bit, although it’s very visible when I’m tanned. I used tin snips to cut the heart out of an old tin can, held it in the flames on the burner of the stove ( with tongs ) until it was red hot, put it on a hot pad and then pressed it onto my arm. Ain’t alcohol wonderful?
Man you are weird. I heart branded into your arm? lol
This isn’t anything new. My dad was branded by his fraternity at Brown and that was back in the 1950’s.
My new favorite “I choose to look like a fucking idiot” body modification is when they slice open the skin and then insert metal underneath and then close the skin back up.
Looks like you got some really fucked up warts on your face.
Yeesh. Gives knew meaning to wearing a heart on your sleeve, no? 
Branding? I thought split tongues were all the rage these days. I’m just waiting to get my wings and tail grafted on.
That’s what the thread title made me think of… 
Wow, it’d be pretty cool to have wings, but they’d be hell to take care of. Fleas! 
A penis that has been split down the middle is know as a “butterfly”. In case you wanted to know.
There was an article about the wing guy in Harper’s a few months ago.
Interesting idea, but if you can’t fly what’s the point?

Looks. Hmm… They might be strong enough to glide with, though. Just be sure to let someone else test that idea, first… 
good morning friends,
at the gym, you can see a wide variety of tattoos, but a couple of weeks ago i saw a guy with a large N burned into his upper arm. the scar tissue was 3/8" or so wide, and the letter was 3" high and as wide.
i guess here in nebraska, football fans are serious.
One historically black fraternity, Omega Psi Phi, has practiced branding since its inception in 1911 – see this article for a description.
From Horseflesh’s link:
Mmmm, hanging boned flaps of flesh. I’d have to beat the boys off with a stick!
But what do you do when you’re branded? And you know you’re a man?
