»It's not fake, it's called scarification. Feel the need to point out the term covers many different forms of body modification, that picture isn't representative of all scarification. I've even done it to myself... Branding is another form of scarification.
Once upon a time I had a mind for a few bits in scarification/electro cauterization.
Butttttt I'm a pansy and I'll stick to tattoos >_>;;;
Yeah I really wouldn't suggest branding to anyone.. I'm not sure if professional level is any different, but that ***hurts,
bad. I was just a dumb *** teen who also happened to be self destructive, but I didn't half *** things. I used a coat hanger and a propane torch. You have to hold it (the red hot piece of metal) there for more than the half a second or so it takes for you to start to feel it...
Even now I can still feel it, not the pain in my arm (where I branded) but the way it shot throughout my body. It was weird... I'm always hurting myself (I'm clumsy as ***) but that was a whole new kind of pain. Not the worst pain of my life, but certainly unique.
