FR...

i need to get the battery operated cautery pen...the brand design i have now takes 30 minutes to do and the disposable pens only last 15 minutes...and redoing it every 3 to 6 months will get expensive at 2 to 3 pens every time...i have always healed well, and the wound has to be at least an inch deep or gaping for it to scar....i can't even see where i sliced my foot open 5 years ago and sprayed blood all over my living room in DFW...and then later on the triage nurse (hehe)...and that took 3 months to be fully healed...so...yep, i'm going to have to rebrand it....err have someone rebrand it for me...i was in shock by the end of it, the first time...

Not having read any other responses, just throwing out my own.

I would have a very hard time coming to the decision to ask this, but probably ALL of the reasons you mentioned would come into play.

The level of pain in such an activity is way more than what I think I could take, but I could see asking for it as a symbol of my committment to the relationship (both in that I would suffer such pain AND the permanancy of the mark). I could also see enjoying the whole act of submission, having it done to me, and being willing to suffer something so extreme for someone I loved, and was devoted to.

It would not be primarily about the permanence of the relationship to me--a tattoo can do that just as effectively. While there is the "permanancy" aspect, it would primarily (for me) be about being willing to be subject to that, particularly given the connotations I have for branding--it would reinforce ideas about property, and my status in my dom/mes life.

Hope that's at least a little helpful! ;)

i am pierced but not tattooed nor branded which i guess are much more permanent markings. i would most likely do the tattoo and/or brand way for the right Dominant once the relationship has really shown its endurance. i would definitely not take permanent markings lightly (think Johnny Depp and the "wino forever" tattoo...). And doing it would be for all the reasons You listed in Your initial post.
i am not sure i would "ask" for it though, if it would not come naturally and almost simultaneously as a natural "next step" for the Dominant and the submissive in their relationship.
Best of luck!

hi chellekitty,

i think the one used on me had gotten filled with lighter fluid.I could be wrong. i was kinda space during and after.
Did you scrub yours lightly with a loofah and soap suds in the tub? it is supposed to make it scar better.
mine needs redoing tho so i dunno. i dont think it was deep enough in some parts when originally done cause i scar good.

I'm home now, so I can answer a little better than this morning.

I don't think I could be branded, I don't really like the way scars look. I have a scar from when my first iguana bit me about 10 yrs ago on my wrist, granted that particular one came out kind of cool looking. But I can do w/out it. *Though it does remind me all the time to not make that mistake again with another iggy. hehe*

(Now that I think about it, he didn't bite that hard, not sure why it stuck around this long. Guess it's the spot. /shrug.)

As for the tattoo, it will always be there no matter what, it won't shrink, can do any design and color you want to make it fit your style. Might even be a little less painful to, but wouldn't know. Plus they just simply look better.

I would have to say that it's for all the reasons.

Reminder of the one that saved me from my old life, faught hard to gain my trust and love. Broke down all the barriers I once had and relbuilt the fire that he saw within me.

Permanency.. Definitely! I have been around the block a few times, more than I like to admit and out of all the fools I've been with, Master is the only one that has ever shown me that I can be loved, the only has ever seen my true beauty. Only one that has ever shown me what it's like to love and be loved. What it's like to live again. I can get a ring, or a collar, but those things can be lost, if I ever went into the emergency room for whatever reason, they can be removed. I don't want to ever lose or remove such a meaningful symbol. Even if something did happen and we were no longer together, I don't want to ever forget what he has done for me.

The pain is for all the pain I put him through. Also in some form it's a closure for me for all the pain the past has put me though. More I am with him, each session this tattoo takes seems to make all this more real for me, releasing the past memories and bringing in new ones. Each time I see this tattoo it feels like a new begining for me. I love that feeling, brings me closer to Master.

I want to know what would motivate you to request such a permanent scar.

Would you ask your Dominant to brand you? Tattoo you? Permanently mark you?

Would it be because you want to experience the pain and submission of getting branded?

Or would it be because you want to wear the reminder that you belong to your One?

Or would it be primarily to demonstrate your intentions of permanency in your D/s relationship?

I'm don't really think I asked per se... I know Master and I talked about branding. I conveyed I was interested, and open to it. Its also something He had always wanted to do, so it worked out well....I'll will be branded when He feels the time is right.

i know we have talked about branding and i want it .. he hasnt decided on what yet but its just inside me a strong need to do that .. somehow it will feel complete that i can give all i am to him .. its hard to just write such strong feelings into words but to be branded and go that route will just complete me and set me free .. i know it sounds strange but i feel so safe and free when i am being just what i am .. a slave .. but its more then feelings and ownership why i want to do it one day .. but i want to jsut be anything for him and do anything .. that level of love and trust is just something i am greatful to have .. its hard to explain but i know when i will be strapped down and ready to be branded .. the love and pride i will see in his eyes will match mine ..

ouch oooch ouch - a brand. Never have had one. Would not request one and certainly am keeping my fingers crossed that Chairman doesn't want it done. i am tattooed and have never had any permanent mark before. Chairman wanted the tattoo and we discussed it. i found it very wonderful and enjoy wearing His mark. Should He decide that He wants to brand me, will i look forward to it? Nope. Would i do it - of course - i am His.

I want to know what would motivate you to request such a permanent scar.

Would you ask your Dominant to brand you? Tattoo you? Permanently mark you?

While I had to ask repeatedly and beg for my owners brand, it was ultimately something we both did really want.

No - and really it didn't hurt all *that* much. The healing was probably the more painful part than the actual branding. My outer labia rings hurt so much more than the brand.

quote:

Part of it was that I wanted to have some sort of mark of his.

quote:

That wasn't a motivation for me - we were together for seven or eight years when we did the branding.

The main motivation really was a desire to have his mark on me. There's really only a handful of decent collarmakers, and to me they all seem very similar (generic, rushed into, and common). But to have indented into my body something custom made and designed by him and then have him mark me as his slave by his hand? That was very desirable to both of us.

More specificlly I think we both wanted a mark that semi-permenant and done by his hand (its hard to tell how long a brand will last since it depends on how its done, how the persons skin marks and heals, and how much they work on it healing like a wound or try to interrupt the healing). The brand just really fit into everything that we felt was appropriate to mark me and would really capture our relationship.

The one thing that we did find interesting was not just how much the brand impacted me emotionally, especially during the healing, but also how it impacted him once it was healed (in a positive way). For me, while the brand was healing when the scab would come off (which happened several times) there would be a pink indentation in my skin (skin missing) in the shape of his initial that was just very .... scary and reassuring, in a good way. For my owner, seeing and feeling the healed brand which is a raised and embossed scar gives him what I call the "warm dom fuzzies" and he does like to just absentmindedly trace the brand or rest his hand on it if we are sitting around watching tv.

C~

Edited to add: we did a single strike brand and purposefully did it in a manner so it would last longer than some of the other brands we've seen - its been about two and a half years since we did the brand and it looks pretty much the same (maybe a little less "raised").

Yes, i would like to be branded by my Lady. I am not masoquist so its not the pain what i like but the deep meaning of that mark, the deep bonds that implies... And besides, its a reminder of that sweet chain that conect me with my Lady Owner.
I find very sexy other kind of marks or signals/symbols, like piercings, tattoes etc bt what i like most in branding is the idea of permanence. We all know how short some (most) relationships are so one have to be inteligent and not do it too fast, lol
Imagine what a Lady would feel seeing the brand of another in Her slave... Mmm its a good question to put under Ladies consideration.
