Sinister sends in this shot of Zack Nigel’s Rebel Alliance palm branding, done by Matt Bruce while stationed at The Rebel Base at Yavin in Edmonton, Alberta (a part of Canada more regularly confused with Hoth). According to Zack, his fifteen minutes of having his palm branded was definitely more painful that his nine hours of head tattoos.

That’s a beautiful branding, but won’t it affect opening and closing his hand once it scars?

Kitsy – The odds of it scarring significantly are very, very low. Other than healing it should not be an issue.

when my sister was 6, she got at the push-in cigarette lighter in my car. (i dont know what she was thinking, as i was in the store), but she pushed it into the palm of her hand. 6 years later, she still has the circular scars. i think its sort of neat looking.

I’m sorry, but… On his hand? The palm of his hand? I can get the WHY he did it, y’know. But. There’s that whole ‘I think I might want to use this hand in the future WITHOUT issues opening and closing it’ thing. It’s nicely formed brand, but the hand? Come on now.

That’s pretty sweet. Can’t wait to see it when it’s healed! Would a brand like that leave a smooth, white scar?

i am SOOO jealous. im really looking forward to seeing how it heals.
also, i dont think the scars would limit mobility noticably. i have the top of my hand branded and i really have to flex both hands at the same time and think about it to notice the scar pulling in the slightest
