The sort were you have a very hot piece of iron placed on your skin to leave a shapely indented scar.
Anyone know much about it, mainly the safe way to do it without making a mess of it.
For anyone that understands it, you know what i mean, of course it's going to make a mess but it's a fine art to do it right....
BTW, this is not a debate to whether it's wrong or right, so to save arguments, if you can't help then shut it!
there are tattoo studios that are licensed to do it. thats the only safe way to do it IMO. the iron uses electricity to heat it to immense temps, something like 1000c, to fuse the flesh I imagine. A lad I knew had one, he said the pain was like nothing he'd ever felt before, and he had implants, piercings in 'intimate' areas and tatts everywhere. a month later it still hadn't healed. Personally I didn't think it looked that great once totally healed, stick to ink!
It's not for me, a friend is inspired by a scene in a David Caradine series.
A bloke pics up an iron object with his forearms and the dragon carvings on the outside branded his arms, much like the scene in Indiana jones and i think an Arnie film.
Don't know if you can get it done like you can with a tattoo I'm sure somewhere in europe would. What I do Know is my mate from the isle of wight (that explains it a bit) did a DIY version so he had this medal. He then went out got leathered came home put the medal on the gas hob, cooked it for an hour until it was red hot picked it up with oven gloves then held it against his leg. Didn't work at all, in fact it went all green and pussy.
Haa haa, warra dumbass.
He left it on too long, the technique will be a combination of pressure and time..
yeah I don't think it would have worked anyway, just had a google looks minging.
Don't know if you can get it done like you can with a tattoo
