Dude in a druken haze I have gotten about 4 brandings!I am not against it because it reminds me of good times with friends I will only see every few months…But generally it’s not the smartest thing to do,they take a bit of time to heal and can become itchy!I would not suggest this as a good idea..but I wouldn’t not do it to myself if I could go back in time.I mostly just used a lighter to create “Smiley’s”.Oh and one more thing DO NOT APPLY SALT TO THE WOUND..Once again drunken haze..Salt in the wound is a saying for a reason!:(
