STICK 'N' BURN - PART 2A Guide to D.I.Y Branding at Home
STEP 7 Ok here’s the fun bit. Slowly begin to trace the outline of your design with the burning hot end of the iron. You don’t want to drag it across the skin too much so we found that short, quick strokes worked best. Collette’s former branding experience came in handy here and she explained that she was only going to give Pierce second degree burns. Basically this means that she stopped short of inflicting third degree burns so we were all spared seeing Pierce’s fatty layers and he was spared the nasty infections that generally result from such intense burns. It was totally win win. Even through our masks, the smell of burning flesh was pretty dizzying so we’d probably recommend having some kind of burning oils on hand to mask this. STEP 8 Finish off the design and tell them it looks great. Really great. If for any reason they are not happy with it, tell them that it will probably fade away and be back to normal in about six months. Again, don’t look to the right. STEP 9 The Jelly Bean step was supposed to be after the antiseptic step but Pierce couldn’t wait so we let so we let him have a couple for his show of endurance. STEP 10 You now want to give the wound a bit of an antiseptic wipe before you patch it up. We used the Absinthe because the Savlon was looking all crusty and old. Pierce said it hurt more than Syphilis. STEP 11 Nice and hygienic. STEP 12 Cover the brand with a clean plaster or bandage to give your new design a fighting chance to heal and compliment each other on a great job. STICK ‘N’ BURN | 1 | 2 |
