Skin Art and BDSM

[snoozebutton]

I was curious has anyone been branded or tatooed to show they belong to their master. Is it exciting or do you regret it now? How were you marked and where and was the placement signifigant. I'd like to see different points of view both pro and con.

I personally would not allow body alterations unless the relationship was well established and a permanent one.

Others may take a different view.

 

[snoozebutton]

I agree Eb that is why I want to hear about the good experiences and the horror stories. I want to seperate the fantasy element from it and hear the straight truth.

i have a past Dom's intials tattooed just to the left side of my pubic area. our D/s relationship wasn't long lived or eventful but He and i had a very special relationship in and out of the D/s, i do not regret it in anyway because it is a way for me to hold Him even now that we can no longer be near each other.

i have had partners since that have asked me to get it covered and i refuse ...

I wonder how many partners are willing to remove their own tattoos?

could you explain this question abit more?

i'm not sure if your asking if they themselves (the tattooed) would remove it or if the tattooed would decide to have it removed with being asked to

Well it is one thing for one partner to ask the other partner to remove a tattoo, but would the other partner do the same?

After all, they came to you with that adornment, is it reasonable to ask them to remove it?

Is that clearer?

ok i understand now, but don't have an answer

in my case the Dom that asked me to remove/cover it was a Dom that i had been collared by at an earlier in my life before i had the mark in question put on my body. so when i returned to Him, He felt that i should have return in the same condition i left in (yes He was abit extreme in the ownership area). He was willing to hav a mark of togetherness put on Himself if i would have agreed to cover the tattoo, which i was not, so as a compromise i would cover with a large band-aid so he couldn't see it

I see. Thanks lilredwolph.

About the only way I'd get somebody's intials tattooed on me is if their name was something like "Bill Smith" or "Leigh Opal Leisinger" or some other name whose initials mean something on their own.

Sometime in the future I'll be getting a tattoo of some sort. The tattoo itself is yet to be decided.

My slave is tattooed with the simple word OWNED.
If I get hit by a helicopter and pass into the next Dark Dungeon he will not be left with a mark that cannot become the mark of a new Owner.
My toy will always need to be owned and I have determined that it would be unfair to mark him in a way that could cause him later difficulties with a new Dominant. I expect to own him for eternity but life can bring the unexpected and I like to cover all the eventualities out of fairness.

I don't like the idea, for me. Tattos are too permenant and almost non-removable and I find myself thinking of being 80 years old with the words "Slave of This Guy" written across my ass. Just does not appeal to me.

Branding, which became the "mark" of choice by my Dom, scared the bejesus out of me. And I resisted, argued and whined about that one a lot.

Being owned is, to me, is a state of mind, heart and soul.

I do like what Shadows said. She is a very considerate and thoughtful Domme.

Exactly. I would like to fair too. After all, one does not know what the future will bring.

I like the pros and cons I've heard so far. I guess I would be lucky in the initial deptment as K is the first initial. So you could cross over to the Gorean aspect of it. But it is something I'd make my submissive wait a year to get and have said as much to them. If the tatoo you select still appeals to you then ok.

I would be willing to be tattooed for a top, but not with initials or a name, or probably even a word. I would rather my top choose the artwork - that would be as personal for me as initials, because I would be reminded of why I had that particular art on my body.

 

[ExistentialLuv]

Pollyjean, brand me with My Bitch!!!! Especially after last night.

 

[evesdream]

I haven't met anyone who I'd brand myself for and I doubt I will, even though it's a sexy concept.

But right before I lost my virginity I got a tattoo around my ankle with the idea that I wanted to mark myself first, before my lovely horny teenage BF did.

nod, I agree with this. I don't know that I would ever go to something as extreme as getting names or ititials or personal words tattooed on myself for anyone...relationships are, frankly, too unpredictable. Even people who *know* they're going to be together forever can't see every possibility...it would scare me too much to make that kind of commitment. But art, on the other hand, which might not be so offensive to *possible* future lovers, I could understand.

i agree also. my soon to be husband and myself decided we want to get tatoo's in liu of wedding rings, i'mm an artist so i've been working on an abstract design (abstract because we like that kinda art, and that's they style i like) we'll probably get this done around our first anaversiary, (because hopefully we can afford it at that point) but i wouldn't ever want a tatoo that said someones name or letters, first off i don't find it asteticly pleaseing, and i would feel really funny haveing someone's name written across my butt, expeicaly if i ever had to change, or like bent over in some low riders..you here questions about tatoo's and i don't want
"wtf, frak own you? who is frank..and what does he own exactly?"
ahhh!

What about putting His initials in in such a way that you know they are there but its subtle so that those looking upon it would think of it just as art........for example i am working on an idea of a fairy in a tree and the tree is manipulated in such a way as to be shaped into His first initial.....most wouldn't see it unless its pointed out but He and i would always know its there.

That sounds like a really cool idea. I am looking for the right faerie for my tattoo, as well.

 

[snoozebutton]

I'm still on the fence but I like some of the ideas, it's not a macho thing with me. And I'm open to many ideas and concepts.
