Branding, in the BDSM context, refers to a method of creating bonding between partners by creating a permanent marking that is like a cattle brand on the body of the collared submissive by the dominant master.[1][2][3] [4]

When branding, one or more than one pieces of metal with a long handle and a metal design at the end of the handle are heated and then placed upon the skin briefly to burn the brand into the submissive's skin, leaving a design of some sort. A lesser alternative is the use of moxibustion to burn decorations into the skin, but this is favored less as many D/s couples regard more traditional strike branding as an emotionally and erotically charged ritual.
