Philip Barbosa photographed my friend Lolli at SW1 . The branding on her abdomen was done with a disposable cautery pen and was fully healed when this photo was taken in May of 2005.
Healed brands can change a lot over time; the scar tissue will continue to build or break, spreading much thicker than the original strikes. More after the break….
This was the original branding in 2004. Notice the line width in comparison to the image below.
This photo was taken yesterday (July 4th 2009) and shows the brand at five years.
Do you know if she is still pleased with her scar?
healed up beautifully
