| Sometimes this
feels the most important thing in the world (until you change Masters for some reason).
Consider the reason why the slave is marked and what it is saying about him and how good
he feels about it. It can be a bit like the old Sailors tattoos, with all his Girl friends
names crossed out on his arm. Better to mark some other event/rite of passage, like the
moment that he was 'Born' as a slave unto his Master. So It celebrates his discovery of
his slave self, which just happen to be with Master X. It could be the height of ego for a Master to have "Property of John
Doe" tattooed on the slave, like why does the Master need this to ensure that the
slave will be with him; to some this is like tempting fate. Should you have a whole series
of Masters, you would have a problem.
Where as if the slave had "Property of Master X" this is ambiguous, but makes
the point.
Generic 'Marking' of slaves is discused for all slaves on the web site of Tanos,
where the doghouse is focused on the SM Anaimal, Tanos is more general to the Master/Slave
scene. |

Permanent Markings -
This is when a slave can possibly see himself as a canvas
for his Masters pleasure.
Depending on your view point it can be seen Art or self mutilation. |
Temporary
Markings -
A slave would have typically entered into the Leather
Community with a collar/chain on his neck that he placed there ready for his prospective
owner to take the key, equally well he might have bondage cuffs on his wrists, implying
that he is ready for your use. |

Ownership -
One important thing is the concept of belonging. We all
need to belong somehow. Through markings, through S&M, we belong. We lose race,
colour, gender. There is nothing there except what we want and what we want to do, and in
that sense, we belong. |
