On the skin designs...Does skin tone affect how long it will last? I am quite pale(As in, I never tan, I burn), so I wound up with sharpie on me from a party lasting a few days.

But I agree with Xoxi, bite marks on the neck are nice to have...Fun to make, and fun to show off!

The collar tattoo thread brought this to mind.

Do you have any favorite ways, to mark a sub/slave, either permanent or temporary?

For example;
I like my wench to shave my pussy (the one she is carrying around for me), all except for a two inch square, kind of high up on the Mons Pubis. Then this two inch square of hair is covered with a small 2 ½ X 2 ½ inch square piece of plastic with my initials cut through it, then a depilatory cream applied. After the cream does its magic and the plastic is removed it leaves the wench with a small patch of hair just above my pussy with my initials in it.

The permenant marks are a pair of outer labia rings and a brand with the initial of his last name on my right hip/ass. We've talked a bit about a tattoo behind my ear of an owl, or more labia rings, or nipple rings... I don't think we are in a rush for additional markings (nor were we in a rush for the initial ones).

In terms of temporary ones, I love it when he scratches or cuts the initial of his last name on my body with a knife (especially when he licks up the blood).

I bite. Hard.

For the rest - a lot would depend on the person, and our relationship. But for general purposes, a bruise and a bite mark or thirty are just about right.

I believe the skin tone and the oiliness of the skin do make a difference.

My daughter wanted to get a henna tattoo once when we were in the mtns. She has fair skin and full of moisture. My skin is more olive and drier. Mine lasted all of two days...hers lasted all week.

I've noted the same with bite marks too...those with fairer skin generally end up carrying them longer. The placement of them makes a difference also...areas with a heavier blood supply stay marked longer than those without.

As a sub, i must agree there is nothing quite like being bitten. Not some remotely hard bite, but a purely primal bite. One that leaves you marked and bruised for days. Being that i had one such bruise on my neck/shoulder area, any time i placed my laptop bag on my shoulder when leaving for work/home. I would feel it. It would then cause me to pause and think of Her. I like those kinds of marks. They serve as such great reminders without having to look at them.

Skin TONE does not affect how long it will last, but it will affect whether or not the stain shows up as brown or red. The darkness of stain can be enhanced with some essential oils mixed into the henna (tea tree and lavendar are most common), humidity, heat, etc.

Skin chemistry (oiliness, dryness, warmth) will affect the quality and endurance of the stain. Warm, dry skin is best. The rate at which you exfoliate matters a lot. How often you wash your hands, or your exposure to tap water matters a lot. The chlorine in tap water will cause the stain to fade faster.

The freshness and storage conditions of the powdereed henna leaf matter a LOT. Like any other herb, exposure to sunlight, air, and heat tend to "fade" it. This is why I keep my henna powder in a lightproof, airtight container in the freezer, and only mix it on demand.

To get the darkest possible henna stain, follow these steps:
1) Prepare your skin - by which I mean wash your hands. Lotions & sunblock will prevent the dye from penetrating your skin adequately.
2) Use fresh henna powder in the paste; use the paste quickly. (It doesn't keep well at room temperature for more than a day or two).
3) Use "terps". Using essential oils to aid dye release does result in a darker stain - it also results in a browner, rather than redder, stain.
4) SEAL your henna paste after it's dry and crusty on your skin - lemon sugar syrup is traditional, but... BEES! THEY'RE GONNA EAT US! So I use hair gel or hair spray.
5) WRAP! You're going for the mummy look here. Wrap well with kleenex or toilet paper, then wrap all that in plastic wrap. This gives a "sauna" type environment for the part of the body henna'ed. The tissue soaks up extra perspiration so the paste doesn't get runny & gooshy and totally fuck up the design. (Yes, I've made that mistake. Fortunately, it was on me and not a client).
6) After you've left the wrapped henna on for 8 hours or so, unwrap, scrape off the henna paste (DO NOT WASH IT OFF!) thoroughly with a blunt plastic knife or credit card type object. I like to use those free offers that come in the mail with usurous interest rates for that. DO NOT wash your hands for about a DAY if possible. The stain needs about 2 days to oxidize thoroughly, and the chlorine in most tap water will bleach it before it ever fully ripens.

Getting henna done is more like having a spa or salon treatment, and it's a fairly involved process. It's definitely not a "let me scribble on you and shove you out the door" unless you're at an outdoor festival in hot weather. And EVERYBODY gets the aftercare lecture, and the "black henna is evil and poisonous" lecture.

So, now that I've risked hijacking the thread and given more info than you asked; if there's any questions or further discussions, feel free to move this down to my post in "artisans".

My subbie and I had a good idea for a marking that would show she is mine. We are thinking of going to a tattoo shop and having the artist tattoo the teeth marks that are left after I bite her ass really hard. It was her idea and I love it

I love that idea! I was just going to say how much I love the bite marks except that they fade, and that is such a great next level!

About Sharpies... sometimes the ink likes to stick around even after a shower or three. It's semi-dependent on the brand, and the type of marker.

I found that out in a rather unfortunate manner- I was working the door at a bar, and every 18-20 year old girl who had to have her hands X'ed (as in, do not serve) would whine about how hard it was to get the marks off in the morning. I dismissed them night after night, until one night I decided to be smart and mark my own hands- an X on each, and "FUCK YOU!" across the knuckles. Then, when someone complained, I'd hold up my hands and smile.

That was a lot less funny the next morning... and the morning after that... then it got funny again.

But yeah, off-brand permanent markers seem to be a lot more soap/shampoo resistant.

minor nit pick...sharpie is a brand....permanent marker is the type of marker...ok done...

something i have not seen mentioned for longer term (few weeks to a few months) but non permanent markings is inkless tattoos...i have seen the results but never had any 1st hand experience with them either having them done (seemed pointless, i like the ink) or watching them done...anyone?
