We provide branding services
Branding is an ancient form of marking the skin without in turn, using a heated implement to burn a design into the skin. This was also another means of ritual to some tribes marking again as mentioned in the scarification page as a rite of passage from child to man or womanhood, social stature, to mark criminals, as a form of making the body more desirable to male or female tribal members etc.
Branding, as it sounds, is more often than not, thought to be similar to branding cattle with a hot iron bent into a shape to create a design and then struck to the skin to create a design. Thankfully for us, it’s not as barbaric as it first sounds, and for a piece of mind, if branding were to be performed as above on the human body, it would result in a quite messy, quite uneven scar as the human body has curves and a flat shape doesn’t contour to the human form.
Branding, as we know it, is either strike branding, which is where various pieces of steel, depending on the design, are heat and then stuck onto the skin, piece by piece, to create an overall design. The second method is by using a cautery device, which is a pen-like implement used for certain surgeries, that has a small tip that heats, allowing the artist to trace the design onto the skin, similar to a tattoo artist does with their machine.
Although the latter is referred to by some as fine line branding, the results of both methods are the same, and designs are quite limited to basic shapes and designs where scarification allows a lot more detailed and much finer lines. This is because a brand usually heals, and the lines will spread to around three times the size from when they were originally done, whereas scarification scars and lines are much more contained.
