My nipples are pierced, at Goddess' insistence. They were done by a professional with a hemastat and a proper piercing needle. The didn't hurt much but after healing they made my already-sensitive nipples AMAZINGLY sensitive. For four or five years, that's all we've done for ownership except for wearing her collar during scene-play, but lately she's talking of having "Slut" tatooed on my ass-cheek, just at the bottom of the curve so she can see it below the leg band of my panties when they ride up a little.

I voted other: wedding ring.

I will have a wedding ring in less than 5 months :) No other mark seems necessary, though we may look for something discreet to wear around my neck as well.
 
Not currently in a bdsm relationship, but I love the thought of being branded one day. I would love that.
 
To nobody's great surprise...

I voted "other".

Sure, it's nice to have symbols, but I'd much prefer that they not be needed, that the real marks are in the heart and mind, in that look, y'know? The ones listed should be nothing more than a fashion choice, and under no circumstances should anyone tatoo another person's name on them anywhere, anyway, IMO. Ditto for branding, again, IMO. Surefire death knell to the relationship; it's like the basketball announcer jabbering when a player is at the free throw line: "He hasn't missed a free throw in the last twelve games..." Clang! guaranteed miss. The gods love fucking with you when you do stuff like that.
 
First, my wedding ring. Second, I wear a non-removable collar 24/7. It closes with tiny allen screws. We specifically chose one that was suitable for me wearing at my conservative job.
 
First and foremost we have our wedding rings as well. Then there is the everyday collar, play collar, my nipples and clit hood are pierced and on the 31st of this month I am getting a tattoo that He designed as His mark.

Hello there! Long time!

My alpha has the following marks:

1. a leather braided collar approprate enough he can wear 24/7.
2. a wedding ring he got a year after the collar
3. a tattoo of my initals
4. a tattoo of our child's initals with ours encircling it.
 
I voted for the collar .....even if a discrete one , otherwise I couldn't wear it .

I am not collared yet ... and although I appreciate the implied deep meaning of a collar and I am truly happy when I hear about someone being collared, I am not in a hurry to be collared myself.... I know that will happen in Master 's time :)

However Master gave me a pair of earrings ( the kind of jewels I like the most ) the first time we met , and they have a deep meaning to me and I know he is proud and happy to know I wear them with joy and pride :)

It is all a matter of inner connection not about the exterior means for both of us ...

..... but I really like to know when one of us is collared cause I can identificate and share the joy that gesture means .. :rose:

Lovely !! :rose:
 
He had my clit pierced and calls the(now) 10g CBR my "collar". I also have a wide leather collar for sessions with a D ring and untill recently I had a black velvet collar with a heart shaped lock on it for going out(either clubbing or to Events) but I accidentally broke it during a scene:(. I'd love to have His symbol as a tattoo and we've talked about branding, but that scares me snotless.
 
My slave has no marks of ownership. he wears no collar at this time, however he knows and I know he belongs to me, so it's all good.

Since the nature of his work requires discretion, I prefer to leave things as they are.

My beautiful sub wears a simple silver ring, in my own taste (not hers) 24/7. Occasionally, when she has earned them, I will give her some marks on her body to remember my by when we are apart. However the ring is with her always.
