Also, I think fine details don't come out well, so the earring might be too small, but maybe you were just thinking of the general shape coming out.

Sterilizing is a given

It has been tested and does not melt.

Been tested with meat but not flesh

Matter of duration and results due to timing.

Status: offline 		I did try this a long time ago when I was in a self body-mod phase.  The earing was a flat circle about the size of a pencil eraser with a raised celtic knot.  It did not work well.  It left a small, circular burn mark with no trace of the pattern and has since faded away.  I think it was just too small to leave any real pattern behind and perhaps too shallow.  If you have a burn fetish I say go for it because if you use a small earing it is very possible that it will leave only a temporary scar if you take good care of it.  If not, head on over to a tattoo shop and ask around for an expert in branding.

Either way, good luck.

Meat is different than living tissue. When you brand, the design will spread over time. So, if you're wanting to use an earing as a "stamp" kind of thing, you'll just end up with a circular patch slightly larger than the earring with no discernable pattern in it after time. My simple dots have spread to about twice their original size. Go with simplicity.

For how long?

What about using the woodburning tip for some time?

Status: offline 		First dont use a woodburning tool its not hot enough. Second what's normaly used is stainless steel rods. Because they get heated up to 2;000 degrees the chance of any bacteria surviving is nil. Third please go see a pro if you have never done this before. You will not regret it. The chances of creating to much scar tissue and tissue dying will be greatly reduced  if you see a pro. Oh its a second degree burn not a third degree burn that would mean dead flesh and alot of bad pain. Good luck

I don't understand your question. Can you eleborate?

Status: offline 		You're right- partial thickness deep is still second degree. It's still a major burn, with high risks of infection. Talk to a pro.

Status: offline 		Ummm....to make a burn? It's pretty much instantanseous. That's what it's designed for. The pen itself has a battery life, if continually left on, of about 15-20 maybe 30 min. I'd say.
I highly recommend finding a professional. Call some tattoo parlors and ask about people in the area who do body mods, specifically branding. Get references, too.

Status: offline 		I studied branding, and it's not as easy to do as you'd hope.  For one thing, the burn winds up becoming a wide scar as it heals so any small or fine designs become an unrecognizable blob.  Think 20+point font size to get a notion.  Also, the type of metal used to brand with is critical.  Plated metal for example tends to lodge bits in the wound when heated and can really mess it up.  Healing take a really long time as well, and longer if it's not done perfectly.  If you haven't studied it for several months first, don't even consider doing it yourself.  The gear to do it right costs a bit too.  Branding is sexy don't get me wrong, but human skin isn't easy to work with.

I almost laughed myself silly when I read your reply.  I was branded 8 months ago today, and I can still find my way home at night and everything.  *giggles* 

People should be very careful and get some training at a class held at your local dungeon or something.  My brand was more of a sear than a major deep tissue brand.  It has faded somewhat since April 30th, and I will get branded again I am sure.  Of course this time, I won't be nervous because it wasn't nearly as bad as I had led myself to believe.

You're lucky.  Have you read the horror stories about those who have tried using paperclips for strike branding?
