A while back I got this funny email from Jared —
well, it starts off pretty normal… my judgment was a slight bit impaired one night so i asked my two buddies to give me a heart brand on my arm. it just basically went downhill from there. they got the great idea to just simply use a lighter and try to shape the skin. bad choice. what ended up happening is they held the flame on the lighter for about five or so minutes, then pressed it to my skin (which i didnt really notice at the time) and they held it for about a minute or two. when that was done the lighter was removed… with about half of my skin, leaving me with my third degree “heart”.

Yeah, I did the same sort of thing with a cigarette for what I thought was a tick, which turned out to be a splinter…. Yeah, we’re both real winners.

My brother-in-law has a sweet blob scar on his upper arm from something real similar to this. It’s really not very awesome.

i actually got lucky doing something similar…i used a paperclip, and formed it into a 5 pointed star, and pressed it for 2 seconds, and it actually worked nice, but its not as prominent as i would like

I did something similar when I was 13, twice. They are both still visible but the first one is much more prominent.

just looks like a standard cig burn!!
but the lighter idea reminds me of the old smiley trick! a clipper lighter heater up then pressed on your skin leaves a forest gump style smiley!
not important but anyone that smokes knows that if you have a lighter burning for 5 minutes then the spark wheel will melt off

This reminds me of earlier this summer – I was the only girl, partying with four of my guy friends. Apparently, as soon as I left, so did any voice of reason, because not long after I get a voicemail saying that Ryan had convinced two of the other guys to “brand” themselves with cigarettes. Although they didn’t feel it at the time, all I heard about for the next week was them bitching about how much it hurt. And they have some nasty looking scars as well.
If nothing else, I guess the heart scar will make for a funny story once it heals?

Yeah, did the same with a paper clip when I was about 16. Instead of a spiral I got an oozy green mess for two weeks. Now it’s kinda neat because it’s just a circle with no nerves.
