| Gravity will one day affect us all. Your wife gets a cute little butterfly tatted and 30 years later it looks like a bat. You get a musky and 30 years later it looks like a carp. A brand might look cool now and 30 years from now somebody will ask 'WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO YOU?' and you'll try to explain it and they just won't see it. |

| I say go for it! Do what you want to do, it's your body! But, i would say a tattoo would be way better idea. Find a good reputable artist, and have them work something up for you. I know Tattoos by Rick, in Green Bay has some musky flash to get you a starting point, and he's hands down the best artist, with the most experience, in WI. He's not cheap, and it takes a few months to get an appointment, but that should speak for his work.
But you CAN tattoo over scar tissue, so if your brand doesn't work, get it covered with a tat! |

Location: So. Illinois | "You only live once!" I've heard that before. Many Darwin awards are handed out to people who held this mindset. May be true and you may use it as an excuse to justify your decision to brand but why risk it? Because its cool? To show how tuff you are? You are risking your health and your own mental well being if in the future you realize it was a mistake. I heard this very same statement from a young airmen who worked for me before I retired for the service. He got a piercing without giving it much thought. The piercing got infected and we only found out about it after we confronted him when we realized his was physically ill - major infection almost cost him his life and it did cost him his military career. As I used to tell all the airmen under my charge, you go ahead and do whatever you life, family and career can withstand (or survive). But remember to give strong consideration to those people who offered sage advice to the contrary. |

| Maybe you want to think about this a little bit more. I had a buddy who once "branded" himself and subsequently developed a Staph infection and became very seriously sick...life-threatening-type sick. |

| Had a buddy in my younger days who thought it would be cool to brand himself with his errr ahhh... well, let's call it a metal tobacco pipe. Burned some nice circles into his forearm. It was "cool" when we were 18. Might have still been cool when he was 25. But I'd imagine as we've gotten older that he had a very difficult time explaining what happened to his arm, especially to potential employers.
A wise old man once told me this:
You're going to need to work for the next 40 years, and you will probably have all sorts of jobs at all sorts of places. You will need those jobs. Never do ANYTHING that would prevent you from being able to get them. |

| You should look up scarification tatoos. branding is a type of it, but instead of burning, you can get a raised tatoo by having an artist basically cut or scrape you, forming a scar. They then repeat the cutting until it becomes raised like a branded tatoo would be. Don't have any tats, but I'd rather be cut than burned. |
