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.
