Apologies, folks: Technical difficulties today, but I’ll try to get caught up this evening. Until then, how about this wild electrocautery branding piece by Brenno at Body Factory in Trieste, Italy. My Latin is more than a little rusty, but the Internets lead me to believe this is a Horace quote that translates to, “Unless it obeys, it commands.” That said, I’ve been bested by information online before, so if this is actually a line from an Eagles songs or something, hey, don’t shoot the messenger.
A close-up of the fresh brand, after the jump.

as nice as the line work or what the fuck ever you would call that is, this looks horrible. yellow flesh does not look good in the least. i hope it heals well, hope to see a follow up

beautiful but i echo the sentiment of ‘OW!’..and yes, thats adipose tissue (95% sure) showing through as all the cutaneous tissue has been cauterised away, the lack of blood makes it look a lot more yellow than in a standard scalpled cutting… im not easily rattled but i think in this case, the cleaness wound makes it more apparent how deep it is, not to mention the wheal under the cauterisation..not happy tissue!
That said…AMAZING!

man, the branded flesh looks… maggoty. i’m sure it’ll look absolutely gorgeous when it heals, but right now it’s pretty repulsive. beautiful work, though!

The reason it looks yellow and magotty is because it is adipose tissue. The reason it looks dope is because it is!

reminds me of when i stepped in between my flat iron and i burned my foot…and how i slept with icebags on my feet because the throbbing of the burn would not stop.
what do they recommend to do after this sort of branding? im assuming the throbbing is 100000x worse :/
