Tattoos?

[Trey_P-I_47]

John,

What is so offensive about branding? I know a Brother who has Delta Pi branded on his upper shoulder, and alot of people, including myself, think its pretty cool.

I think if anyone is interested in branding they should do some research on how to do it CORRECTLY, and seriously look into buying a professionally made custom cattle brand. You can find several companies online, and they usually charge less than $100 to make it for you.

We had 3 that we had in mind:
1) Cross and Crescent
2) Delta Pi aligned vertically
3) LXA aligned diagonally

I also think GZs advice is very valid about keeping things like tatoos and branding inconspicuous.

My choice was to have the DP branded on the upper part of my thigh, obvious to noone but myself, but a constant reminder of the oath that i took and the path that i chose.


Also, if anyone is thinking about doing this, I would talk to members of Omega Psi Phi, because they always seem to have good brands, so they must know what they are doing.
