I thought they were abusing free salvation, etc. I wanted God to know I wasn't like them, and I was willing to pay whatever price for him to know I believed in Him for the right reasons and wasn't afraid to show it. So I got my father's rosary, that he got from his father, and it also had interesting runes or patterns on the underside and an interesting shape to the cross. I got it and I held it over a flame for 5 minutes until it was turning red and I was wearing a glove in one hand and once it was ready I slammed it onto the top of my left hand and held it until it was cool. I'd never felt that much pain in my life. Until a moment later when I did it one more time to make sure. Everyone treated me like a leaper or a freak for a few years and so I wore gloves. But at some time last year I said fuck it, I'm not ashamed, and now people think it's the coolest thing since sliced bread. Getting compliments about it is a weird feeling though because it was my signature on a sacred oath, not some kind of new fad. I don't know, I just know I don't regret my decision.

The first brand was on my right arm and the metal wasn't super hot so I demanded a second one saying "that wont be there forever". I was right, it's mostly faded now, you can see the base of the fork and the most outer two prongs faintly, kinda looks like a fireball. The second brand was incredibly hot though, the fork was burning bright red and I now a a bigfork rectangle shape brand on the other arm. I've never regretted it before but now I'm deciding I'd like to get a full star branded into it / around it to make it a big pattern so a couple questions. Given the already large size of my old brand, would it be safe to burn a larger star into my arm? The rectangle shape screws the center of a star, so it would have to be quite large it seems. Is branding over an old scar safe? It seems to have fully healed awhile ago and now is just a raised white patch (with a couple new freckles grown ontop of it, I'm ginger). Does someone with experience think I should try to design a star around the old scar tissue, maybe like striking? I'm kinda lost and curious but I don't want it to look really dumb. Inputs be appreciated, thank you So a few years ago now at a friends going away party I got branded with a fork on both arms.
