Personal Branding Iron

This company will make a tiny branding iron with your name on it! The product is a metal part that will replace the head of a disposable cigarette lighter. Fire up the lighter, and your branding iron will be hot in no time. Yes, it sounds dangerous, that's why the description says "for decorative purposes only." What could possibly go wrong?

Perfect for our internet youtube generation and their incessant need to be "creative" and "free thinkers."

Mark my words, I predict a lawsuit from some idiot that used this and gets horrible burns/infections in no time.

I used to have something similar for marking tools, only you had to hit it with a hammer which wasn't suitable for lots of things. Most of my power tools have our postcode burnt deeply into them with a soldering iron.

For branding school things like rulers and calculators - splendid.

Worrying that everyone so far has thought of it being used on flesh.

I think it would be cool for labeling things.

It might even be fun to label meat with. So that way, the pieces cooked the way I like them would have my name on them and the ones cooked like my hubby likes them could have his name on them (or be un-branded).

I worry that people will use this thing for graffiti,though, and brand things that don't belong to them, like park benches,etc.

I wouldn't recommend this to brand people or pets with for two reasons: it will not reach the temperatures required (read: red hot) and it is too detailed to leave anything but an amorphous blom in terms of scarring.

I had a brass branding iron made that I use for marking furniture I make. Says Hand Crafted by James B* and has removable date digits. This looks like it would get hot enough for wood or leather, or cotton textiles like denim or canvas. Or you could get a satanic symbol and burn your own face.
