ID & i have matching tattoos..His is the mandarin symbol for Master..mine is the one for slave. a real 'brand' doesn't appeal to either of us..and cutting is out, cuz well...ID faints at the sight of blood *giggles*....He has been working on a design for us working our real initials together for another tattoo. i wear His collar though....always...24/7...obvious, yet...not. the tattoos we currently have aren't obvious to anyone other than lifestylers that have knowledge of the symbols.

it is something to consider long and hard. although the idea of a permanent mark is very romantic..it is..."permanent"...and just..not to be a wet blanket, but...what if.......................things aren't forever. my theory is never say never...and never say forever. but that is an extremely personal decision that only you and your Dominant can make..understand..the final say in this should really be yours...(IMHO)
