Have branded cattle and horses, had it done to myself twice and it really wasn't all that special. Honestly, the first time when he said "take a deep breath" and did my thigh, it was a bit of an anti-climax. I told him if he does that again to hold it down longer, MUCH longer so it hurts, next time was on my bottom and it hurt more but really wasn't all that special. Cooled off fast I guess. That said, is your branding idea about the pain involved (not so much in my opinion), the ritual (very very cool in my opinion, I think the friends who were watching were more stressed than I was), or the mark (mine have pretty much healed, I have more permanent scars from work). If it's the mark, and you want something long lasting, tattooing or scarification might be an option?
