from what I have read, back in the day when people were branded for braking the law they said that their skin became irritate which means if someone touched the branded piece of flesh it would hurt whats worse if you where too fall on your back because that is a trip to the hospital. If you really think this is a good idea than you must be over the top, this is not a good idea nor is it going to do anything. A brand was mainly for punishment not for tattoos, if you want a tattoo go to the store and get one instead of adding 400-900 degrees Celsius to you're skin
