Something interesting I never considered: would branding, that is over in a second or two, really hurt more than a 2-4 hour tattoo?
Side note, has anyone seen that horrific video of the college kids branding each other and the one held the iron on someone’s chest for like 10 seconds and pushed down and you could actually see it sinking into the persons body?
It’s fucking vile and I had finally forgotten about it but now I just remembered and I fuckin hate it
I'm a fire/sideshow performer, have been burned (and unintentionally branded) many times. Also have many body mods.
If it's done right, the metal only touches the skin for about a second. The burn will hurt for a few hours, but will heal in 2-3 weeks. However, it's very easy to overdo it and turn it into a deeper burn that will hurt for far longer and take significantly longer to heal. Around Nazis, I don't particularly care to be precise.
Tattoos hurt in the moment but once they're done, they're done. I'd honestly rather get a tattoo of equal size than branded.
Edit: and yeah that video, that was nasty. He probably died from it.
I've been burned, (i had a few layers of skin melted off my fingers because of steam) and I've got multiple tattoos... you don't see people going for multiple burns too often. burns don't stop hurting after the actual burn... it just keeps going. tattoos feel a bit like a sunburn and then itch. the burn sucked far more.
Saw that video and never found any info on if he recovered. My first reaction was holy shit that's going to hurt and be messy, but some comments were saying about the heat of the iron (it's not supposed to still be glowing bright red, it was WAY too hot), length of time, pressure, and proximity to vital organs means that he likely wouldn't survive it...
Naw i never even saw the full vid of that. Only saw the firs couple seconds but that shit is haunting.
To the first question tho. Compressing pain in a temporal sense doesnt really work i think. Some people experience migraines for their whole lives so those people would by that logic be some of the most pain resistant people on earth.
But also a branding would hurt for weeks/months until its healed and might get infected and shit. Human skin isnt like cow skin, that shit will instantly get destroyed permanently.
