Well hey, look at this jaunty little missus! Among the various indignities I faced growing up in Canada, being deprived of Nickelodeon left me cold on countless cultural references, so I had no idea until just this second that this is, in fact, Wanda from The Fairly OddParents, which Wikipedia tells me is a highly popular show. (It also claims that many Nickelodeon are aired in Canada on other stations, but this seems like far-left propaganda.) At any rate! This electrocautery branding was done by Chavito at Nyaya in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico. Will this branding also teach children valuable lessons about being careful what you wish for and the most effective ways to replace your dim-bulb parents with supernatural creatures? Probably, yes.

Hey, don’t be so hard on yourself! This Hole-inspired (probably?) piece is plenty pretty on the outside, too—though I guess you sort of expect that with a cutting (plus electro-cautery branding!) by the excellent Christiane at Pinpoint Piercing in Oslo, Norway. Also, wow, considering this is the inglorious Summer of Celebrity Death, is Courtney Love just hiding out in her panic room for days on end or what? Stay safe out there, famous crazies.

Apologies, folks: Technical difficulties today, but I’ll try to get caught up this evening. Until then, how about this wild electrocautery branding piece by Brenno at Body Factory in Trieste, Italy. My Latin is more than a little rusty, but the Internets lead me to believe this is a Horace quote that translates to, “Unless it obeys, it commands.” That said, I’ve been bested by information online before, so if this is actually a line from an Eagles songs or something, hey, don’t shoot the messenger.
A close-up of the fresh brand, after the jump.

If you’ve been around BME for a while…you almost surely know where this is going. A small, DIY, heart-shaped brand? C’mon…take a guess.
A couple of click-throughs, after the jump.

We’re gonna have a whole lot more Dallas SusCon photos filtering in shortly, but let’s keep it in-house for now with these lovely shots of Miss Cookie as captured by BME’s own Phil Barbosa. Those are some long since healed branding scars on her chest (as well as 3D implants), and after the jump, check out some scars on her stomach with outlines cut in with scalpels and filled in with electrocautery branding, all by her husband, Steve Haworth.

Earlier this month—on Friday the 13th—spheniscus was at work when her co-worker, Jowan, at Tribe Piercing in Göteborg, Sweden, thought to offer free brandings, ostensibly on the condition they were “13″ related, I suppose? Well, this is hers! “I literally screamed. The whole time,” she says. Branding is fun.

Like I’ve been saying, our scarification submissions lately have just been spectacular, and this hyfricator branding by Blair is no exception. Blair won’t be in Philadelphia, but hey, he’s in Toronto most of the time! Go see him there, and just let him go nuts. Healed shot of this brand, after the jump.

When this picture fell from heaven — or maybe it was Mars? — all that was attached to it was a note reading, “Done by my roommate with a soldering iron.” What does it all mean? Ah, the universe is a mysterious place sometimes.

When I first saw this picture, I thought, Hey, nice tattoo. A little nondescript, but interesting nonetheless, the texture in particular. Then I read the description and realized holy god that is not a tattoo, it’s an electrocautery brand, and probably covers more surface area than other one I’ve seen. (Then again, I don’t get out much.) Very impressive, at any rate.
(Brand by Robert Curiel in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico.)
