Scarification - Human Branding

Scarifying involves scratching, etching, or superficially cutting designs, pictures, or words into the skin as a permanent body modification.In the process of body scarification, scars are formed by cutting or branding the skin. Scarification is sometimes called cicatrization.Scarification is usually more visible on darker skinned people than tattoos. Endorphins can be released in the scarification process that can induce a euphoric state. There are also aesthetic, religious, and social reasons for scarification.Human branding is one type of scarification. It is similar in nature to livestock branding.Strike branding. This is the same process used to brand livestock. A piece of metal is heated and pressed onto the skin for the brand. Unlike the example in this video, the brand is usually done piece by piece rather than all at once. For example, to get a V-shaped brand, two lines would be burned separately by a straight piece of metal, rather than by a V-shaped piece of metal.

The Definition you put on the video doesn't include burning. I say it counts though. After all, it is MY arm...

@pyrothepenguin Branding is burning. After all, it is YOUR arm.

Fair does to the guy like, but he's probably going to get infected. Probably because your were idiots in your methods. :)

Fucking idiots indeed. Branding is for cattle.

@LulzLieutenent temperature is what decided the degree of the burn. More so in this case because this was a fairly cool temp burn. The wire is cooled so much by touching the skin that holding it doesnt continue to burn the skin. This is a valid point I guess though. when i do larger hotter burns I shall make a point to have them use a simple press and release method.

y would u hold it for so long? 1st degree burns are good enough, second degree is asking for problems. fuckin idiots
