taboo,and i think thats like the really ghetto tribe brandings and weird shit that those tribes in africa do were they cut them selves all over with designs so that it scars that way
i dunno havnt really had many tats to compare it with, but it didnt seem to hurt that much doin the tattooing...that bit near my armpit did but ooouch!
the branding is quite painful yeah, and the healing sucks balls.
