My sub male has asked to be branded.

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?

All of the above, and more? None of the above?

Submissives only, please. Male or female.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Is he asking to be branded with your name? or just with a mark denoting he is a slave, branded property, chattel? I don't think I would want someone's name tattood on my ass, but being branded as a slave is different to me. You cannot guarantee that the one true one will really be there forever. However, from my own perspective, I can guarantee that I will always be a slave, whether owned or not, that it is my nature.

Respectfully,

Amy

P.S. I'm not young though, so I am passed that age when I think I know myself but don't really have a clue.

As Mother used to say, "Boy that's gonna leave a mark."

There was a time when I would read of such desires held to heart of submissives
and think, "are you nuts?" But as I read and listen to the passion of devotion of
others, I take a more understanding approach. Would I care to have a hot iron
seared into my skin creating a permanent scar, even as a loving application of
adoration for my Dominant? Honestly, no, half of me realizing that relationships
can and do end, and the other half simply a chicken shit to the whole idea.

I would consider a tattoo, tasteful in design, and tastefully placed, as it might
instill a sense of belonging, or perhaps a piercing with identifying jewelry,
though I would need no such decoration nor object to possess that sense
of belonging. For myself, the belonging comes from within, not from without.

The belonging of belonging to, this shall lead my devotion, not one or a hundred
acts of which I might conjure "to prove myself of you". I will not take from
others those things which bear witness to their own hearts, as what shall uplift
them is of their own desire. If such soothes them, then stoke the embers and
stir the ashes, let their cries of devotion reach the heavens above.

I just prefer no one enter my door and ask, "Who burned the chicken?"

For a long time I've wanted some kind of mark, and for a while He had a lower case b burned into His skin from a violet wand, after a scene-gone-wrong in reverse. (He was trying to 'brand' me with a violet wand ~ it didn't work because i simply wouldn't sit still, and i ended up with non-permanent but still random marks on my legs instead :) Recently I've been contemplating a script s & m, one letter on each side of where my hips and legs meet; i figure it could both stand for Sir Mike (His name) and S&M, a clever way to be marked owned and simply in the scene. While this is something I do want to do one day, I feel like being marked permanently like that should decidedly wait til we're atleast married. (While it's no guarantee of permancy, it's still more permanent a situation than, say, now.)

So, to answer simply, yes, it's an ownership thing for me. :)

He tattood me 2 years ago with a design he created that incorporates his initials, his personality, and me. He considers it his brand. I did not ask for this, it was his idea and desire. I was given a lot of time to think about it and absorb the idea, and given the floor to express any thoughts, feelings, concerns, etc., about it. I concluded that because of how bonded I felt to him, because of the profound effect he was having on my life, I could be comfortable with something so permanent on my skin. I felt even if he released me for whatever reason, I would honor him for the things he had taught me thus far. Until I met him, any sort of permanent marking was always a hard-limit of mine, non negotiable, no way no how.

I have since asked him for a hot iron brand. Not because of the pain - I hate pain. But for the scarring effect. I saw photos of the process of Wildfluers branding and it fascinated me and touched me. Master said no - he is not comfortable with the idea of putting me through that level of pain. He may place another permanent mark on me at some point; he is considering it.

He has not branded another girl before. He has twice been asked and twice said no. I consider mine very special.

This reminds me of when I requested his collar and he wanted to know why. He asked me if it was for security and I actually laughed out loud and said, no, it was pride.

I think Himself is amazing and to have the honor of wearing his mark, his collar, his name means that he thinks enough of me to allow me access to those symbols .. so for me, it's pride.

Some brandings are absolutly beautiful works of art.

quote:

Would you ask your Dominant to brand you?

Sure

quote:

Tattoo you?

Yes

quote:

Permanently mark you?

Without regrets

quote:

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

The pain yes; I am after all a masochist. For the submission of it? No. If i am asking, I am not submitting to his wishes; he is submitting to mine.

I was branded because he wanted to. He never asked if I wanted it, he never asked for permission to do it; it was never brought up at all in discussion. He simply tied me down and said 'I am going to brand you".

quote:

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

Nope. For the simple reason that a person can not be 100% that something will last forever.
I have brandings, scars, tattoos; but none are personalized by him. All were chosen to follow artistry.

Yes i would and i have.
He has said He will brand me but i don't know when it will be or even if we'll get round to it.

quote:

Yes.

quote:

No.
I am not owned by Sir. He has no intentions of owning me either at present, ever!!

quote:

No.
We have no idea how long what we have will last. It could all end tomorrow, or there again i could be pushing Him down Blackpool pier in a wheelchair in twenty years.

Yes i'd like Sir to brand me. No, i have never wanted another dominant to do it. Does this mean anything? Probably not, but again who knows.
When / if Sir does brand me it will more than likely be something we both like but nothing that links the two of us together. When i say this i mean like His initials etc. It will be something that i want to live with if / when we part ways. Although saying that anything Sir would choose would be fine by me, so it won't necessarily be anything i choose or partake in choosing.

i wanted a permanent sign of belonging. Partly it was the symbolism- traditionally you brand livestock or human property- so a tattoo would not suffice.

i don't think it makes a relationship permanent, nor does it doom one. The fact is, any lengthy relationship (and we had been together for 12 years at the time) leaves a mark on your soul. To me, that's far more substantial than marks on the body.
And being done with a cautery pen, there was much less pain than i expected. i would have preferred a strike brand for symbolism, but it tends to be a less precise result. i was high for the whole day afterwards.

To the OP,
Yes, to all of the above. When I move to my Jarl in a couple weeks, he is having me tattooed. Upon our renewal of contract next August, we are looking to get me branded. Both upon my request and his agreement. I want his mark, period.

I wear my Master's brand with pride. It is not his name or intials, it is a symbol of the name he gave me once he took me as his. I think it is beautiful. I would do it all over again. I do not have the brand because of any other reason other than I am his. It is not for security in our relationship but knowing my Master put it there and we are both proud of it. I see it as a symbol of my devotion to him and him to me. A picture of my brand is on my profile on CM if anyone cares to see it.

My collar is a tattoo. It isn't finished though have about 2 maybe 3 more sessions to go. But it is of 2 dragons holding a lock with their mouths, the key with their tails. One dragon has his astrological sign, The other has mine. I've always wanted a tattoo, always wanted the perfect collar. Now that I have someone to hold meaning and own the collar, it just seemed like perfect timing to get it.

There's alot more meaning to it, but I have to go to work now so can't really say a whole lot more. But for me it's pride, desire, and makes up for all the pain that I put him through. And damn, getting a tattoo on the collar bone and chest area isn't easy... and to think it's my first one and have 2-3 more sessions to go with a couple of good hours put into it.

It's all worth it in the end.

Yes to all the above in many ways. Chellekity...I have two brands and a combo brand/cutting. All are still visible after eight years. Mine were done with a medical cauterizer pen. The cutting part of the combo pattern has faded somewhat but the branded part is still much more visible.

Don't be so sure. I have had mine going on almost 20 years now; and it still looks pretty fresh to me. The same with carvings that were scarred.

greetings texasmaam,

i have my nipples and hood pierced, mainly for him (although i really enjoy it as well). i have two tattoos that i got while i was with him, but for myself; i am planning to get two tattoos done for him. one is just a design we both like, and the other is his mark; only one person other than me has ever worn it, so it's very special to me. i'll probably get the first one around january/february, and his mark over the next year or two once i complete some things he has required of me. to me the tattoos are a symbol of permanence, ownership, and yes, pride.

i have begged to be branded and otherwise permanently/painfully marked many times. for me, experiencing a great deal of pain in this way comes from a more intuitive/animalistic place...there is something about intense pain that just speaks on a very deep level to me, as a slave, and to be permanently marked in such a painful way would be amazing in terms of feeling owned. he has not yet granted this, but i will keep asking :) maybe one day.

respectfully,
annabelle.
