When you think of badass characters from South of the Border, you probably think of two things: Danny Trejo and Brian Decker. Brian had this to say about this hybrid cutting/branding Sugar Skull:
“I’m contemplating completely substituting skin removal with hyfrecator filling, as it’s much quicker and the results are seemingly better, in my opinion”

This looks really amazing. Have no idea what is meant when “skin removal” will be replaced with fluxcapacitor filling or whatnot, but it looks damn good.

wow this is awesome! i wonder how much the branding parts will change as it ages?

heh. A hyfrecator is an elecrosurgical unit- it’s cautery branding instead of peeling/cutting off skin.
PS- Decker vs. Trejo… who wins?

Trejo for the win! He’s got a bigger machete!

The hyfrecator is an electroCAUTERY device that dessicates the tissue via electric arc, not thermal heat. The tissue damage is much more isolated than with thermal cautery and much more controlled.
