And the Master, of course.
Are you insane?? Being branded is like being on fire. Being on fire is a pain that never leaves you. It's pain you will want to run as far and fast as you've ever run to avoid, but you can't. It's all the receptors of your brain going off at once saying "you motherfucking asshole, what the fuck did you let happen to yourself?!" In short it's all parts of your brain saying how much you fucked up getting to this point. It isn't something to be romanticized, it's all manner of wrong. It is, in another way of looking at it, embracing insanity (note, it isn't LIKE embracing insanity, it IS embracing insanity). It is meeting an animalistic feral side of yourself you never met before. The pain isn't like anything you have ever experienced before, ever in your life.
If you want a slight experience of the amount of pain you will go through, try putting an iron that is hot on a part of your body for about 5 minutes or so. Except that is just "hot" and not "red hot," so intensify the pain about fivefold.
Go into a burn unit in a hospital and talk to some of those people and ask about willingly going through what they did.
Get a tattoo instead and be proud of it.

every now and then I think..
we do things to ourselves/each other that would land us in jail if we did them to animals..
but regardless -
if it's something you decide to do,
research 3rd degree burns so you have some idea what you're looking at
and make sure you have a doctor with whom you feel comfortable just in case your 3rd degree burn needs medical treatment.

Tattoos can get infected. Get a t-shirt.

I happen to know someone that tried getting a brand. It didn't heal very nicely and is now a big fleshy patch of a scar. That person will never tell what it was supposed to look like. I'd say, if you have to mark yourself permanently, a tattoo from a reputable establishment sounds safer.
Also, burns are horribly susceptible to infection. I feel like the risk outways the reward (if there even is a reward).

Do your homework on all possible outcomes. Talk to your D. Talk to a physician you trust. Think some more.
Then decide.

Burns are nasty things to heal. Especially if you want it to leave a good scar. Why not tattoo or carve it with a knife? The idea I get. But my god, burns are insanely painful and easily infected.

I'm walking this as a fine line because I have no intention of trying to insult the intelligence of anyone considering this, especially the op..
but the thing with a deep burn is that the area never actually heals. The scar tissue that grows will never have the same strength as the original tissue. It's essentially filler tissue. There is no way to guarantee the rate of healing and the wound can potentially become chronic, especially if placed over a bony area that is already an at-risk area in later years for skin breakdown.
Also - the use of ointments that would usually be used for burns is discouraged because it can blur the lines of the branding, resulting in a generalized smear/line of scar tissue. while I understand this as it related to artistry, it severely limits preventive maintenance of the area regarding infection and pain.
I apologize if my comment appeared rude. I don't regret saying any one thing though. Willfully accepting a burn the likes from a brand is, in a too simplistic way, "your worst nightmare."
I would sooner suggest a person get a limb amputated without any anesthesia.
You can talk to a doctor, but doctors can only describe what they observe. Everybody is talking about the hell you go through afterwards. I was trying to describe the insanity you will go through during the branding.
However, to add on to what everyone has been saying about after-care:
Psychological Distress after Burn Injury
Excerpts:
While each individual experiences psychological distress differently, people with burn injuries often report (the same thing).
I forgot about the itching. You can't pat it, you can't rub it no matter how gently. If you do, you will feel sensations almost equivalent to getting the burn in the first place.
Why do you think they give morphine to most severe burn victims? They would rather keep a person in a deep unconscious state opposed to being awake. Except you won't have any morphine after being branded, not until they get you to a hospital.
When someone says "you don't know the pain of giving birth," a little part of you inside is going to laugh hysterically. In truth, if you're a guy, you won't and in truth, you will feel more sympathetic about people in pain, because you won't want to see anyone, EVER, go through what you have experienced.

- Feeling distant from your family, friends or the general public.
- Feeling alone.
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Difficulty staying asleep (e.g., nightmares wake me up).
- Difficulty relaxing your mind and body.
- Difficulty concentrating.
- Low energy or feeling tired all the time.
- Pain while the wound is still healing (especially during the repeated dressing changes) and pain that continues for months or years afterward.
- Itching as wounds heal and scars form. Some survivors report that itching is the most difficult experience during healing as it feels all-consuming.

I have been burned badly and it was the most intense pain, and that includes breaking a major bone. Think hard on this. Healing may have complications.

Agreed. The risk of complicated infections is just too scary.

It's been a while. I wonder if the OP would like to give an update?
Surely I'm not the only one who's a little curious how things went (or if they did.)

Branding
Over 10 years ago I was seriously considering having my slave branded and did a lot of research on the subject. For various reasons I never had her branded. I think what may of the posters so far in this thread are unaware how modern Body Modification branding is done.
I think many are thinking about the way we see, in the movies, cattle and horses are branded using a single heavy branding iron with a single strike to scar the flesh of the animal. As another poster commented that way is terribly painful, you would receive a very large 3rd degree burn and eventually you would end up with a unidentifiable blob of scar tissue a very unsatisfactory result. She is very correct if the brand was done with something like a stock branding iron.
The results on my research came up with Fakir Musafar as the best person to do a custom branding. Instead of a large iron used as a single strike he would make small pieces of metal that would be individually heated pressed against the skin briefly and then the next piece would be heated and struck until the design you choose would be completed. The brand would leave relatively thin line of the design as opposed to a huge mark of a severely burn. The disadvantage is the person being branded has to lay vey quietly and unmoving between the strikes. As I remember Fakir used both sand bags and ropes to keep the subject fairly still. The major difference between the branding of live stock and a human today is depending on the design you choose is you may end up with less than a total of one square inch of burn vs. several times that on the critters.
There is also another method called Electro-Cauterization which I know almost nothing about, but seems to leave a much thinner burn line.
Kefir has a web site, but today seems to have changed to teaching and as far as I can tell no longer practices ether piercing or branding, but may be willing to answer any questions you may have or recommend one of his graduates that lives in your area.
I know it sounds like I am pimping Kefir, but only because at the time he was the very best and even today I’d look very hard at having one of his instructors brand my slave were my intentions to change. As to those who may question my knowledge of burns and the pain they cause I was burned over 15% of my body with 1st and 2nd degree burns in Viet Nam and spent 6 weeks in the army burn center in the Far East. I would have gladly swapped my 15 % for 1 square inch of 3rd degree.
Here is a link to Fakir’s web site. Sadly not the best site for exactly what you are looking for, but is may give you some information that is helpful.

One more from Fakir that shows some of the brands they have done.

And one to BME which I think means Body Modification Extreme. You may find some branding info there too.

Very cool links, JS; thanks for posting them! 
I have no specific interest in branding, but I think the pics of the healed cautery brands on Fakir's site are a beautiful form of body mod. If I wanted to do a permanent modification, and my particular body was better with injuries, I'd probably go for a cautery brand vs. a tattoo.

The last time they logged in was 6 days ago which is 6 days after their making this thread. They have only made one posting in the time they have joined.
I might be wrong, but I think that is the last we will see of them.

It never occurred to me to even look!
Still I suppose that doesn't mean much does it? Do some people not create a screen name to ask things they may want to ask sort of anonymously? (I always sort of thought that was the reason there were so many 'new' users on this board creating these sorts of threads.)
I consider myself an open minded person and having spent a fair amount of time here has tested that to the point that I believe I can say it honestly. Still there are things that I will never be able to get my mind around. This is one of them. A thing so painful that the body has to be tied down or held in place with sandbags? Most of my head wants to scream "no, just NO!"
There is a great deal more world out there than this southern gal has the desire to experience I guess.
Yeah, in this matter, I'm all manner of supporting the idea that anybody wanting someone else to get branded should undergo the procedure themselves first.
Equating pain from 2nd degree burns to 3rd degree burns is ludicrous. I've lily white so I am used to sun poisoning and 2nd degree burns (from trying to get tanned) on about 80% of my body and they NEVER equated to the pain I got from the 3rd degree burn I got on about a quarter of one limb.
