use a toothbrush and baking soda to scrub the area if you want it to raise/scar. there are many ways to brand, from cauterizing irons to strike branding. since you dont have any mods posted i'm going to assume you aren't too heavily into the scene and would reccomend you go to a professional to have them done. google should return a few artists near you.

Use some money and go to your local shop. That's the first step in not getting an infection. You'll thank yourself later on, when you have something you actually want to show off.

thanks for the advice the only problem is that i have not found a shop in xotherx california that does scarification, if anyone knows one please let me know, and what temp is needed for it to come out clean

Go to a professional.

i did a simple line once with a screwdriver and a stove top, it came out clean but i got bored and scalpled the scar tissue off and cleaned it and now its pretty much gone, but thats becuase i like to do my own stuff for the sake of having that personal feeling, by theory the only way to get a infection is to not take care of it as high heat kills bacteria, but it leaves an opened wound to you have to treat it as the bacteria wil come back

go to a profesional though
