MATERIALS

To start to burn on the skin at home required a minimal set of devices:

  • Burner Tool. Burner stand two types – “soldering iron” type, or with a loop filament (such is often used in wood burning). The first type is more suitable for beginners and children – it is quite long heated has no ability to regulate temperature, but very strong and durable. The second type of burner allows you to adjust the temperature of the filament, and it allows you to apply to the skin lines of different widths and different shades. In addition, this device heats up very quickly and cools down in just a few seconds. However, nichrome loop overheat often, and it has to change. 
  • Fitting skin. Often in stores you can see the leather of pig, goat, sheep or cattle. There does not have to choose – the only appropriate it is the skin of cattle. To choose it is depending on the goals set before you. So the calf leather is thin and supple, but the skin of an adult bull, very thick and hard, fit only for the creation of the belt. Other types of skin is not suitable for burning: sheepskin is so thin and soft that when burning it is wrinkled into folds, and pigskin texture its too porous and just not very nice.
