Friend of mine once suggested that the next step in body art would be the amputation of fingers. I held out for branding.
My new BF - and expert in all things Manga - pointed out that the Yakuza already severed digits. When I say new BF, this was back in 1995.
Haven't heard of any branding yet, 'cept that done for media reasons by hardline veggies.
Weirdly, I would love a brand.
I've never burned myself except by accident, but I've burned myself plenty. And my skin heals so slowly (even before my liver issues.)
Received wisdom is that if you have a tattoo you want anoter one. Not in my case, although I've considered an anchor for Bri - hope being an anchor.
But I'd rather have it branded than drawn.
I guess it's a matter of cost - they'd have to make a branding iron for each single person.
