Believe it or not this solar powered scarification on Jeremy was done using two things, a magnifying glass and a handful of sun rays! More photos by Andrew (the brander) after the break..

For the life of me I could not work out how this was possible but I think I get it now. It’s such a unique idea, I hope it turns out well, it looks pretty damn cool.
#49, Copy me/us, nobody who matters will be upset.
#50, Nick! Ha. Truth!
that is amazing..i wanna try it..ouch..good idea cutThroat.
I wonder whether using a “Stencil” for this would be effective, stroking the light back and forth to cover an area for those without steady hands whilst undergoing pain
anametamystik i think i love you
#54, We thought about the same thing.
I cut a lot of stencils anyway.
This design did expand quite a bit. About the same as strike branding. So a super detailed design, even with a stencil, I think is unlikely.
If I ever get around to it, I was going to coat my paper in silicone before cutting the stencil. Silicone’s heat resistance, I think, would make it ideal.
I hope to see pictures of anyone else trying this. (with or without a stencil)
I met a guy called Cricket in Tucson several years back who did a sun scarification on his own forearm.
Also, this
forum might be relevant.
