From [http://forum.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?p=631881#post631881](http://forum.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?p=631881#post631881) : > [@TenTigers](#): > > …has there EVER been Shaolin monks wearing the brands of the Dragon and Tiger, or Dragon head Tiger body, or ANYTHING? Has anyone ever seen a monk with brands, and if so, did they signify any type of graduation ritual? - or is it simply a legend, a myth, a nice story. > (oh, and BTW, crazy Americans who shave their heads and brand themselves don’t count-we’ve plenty of them here!) Anyone have any stories (or more so, any PICTURES) of these crazy Americans with “Shao-Lin brands”? I for one would love to see these markings, or hear any stories of them. ---

I’ve never seen any actual brands… I’ve seen a lot of tattoos. A lot of very cool tattoos actually. ---

I LOVE going up to these macho looking guys with their Dragon and Tiger tats and saying, “Oh man, the Tiger goes on the RIGHT arm, and the Dragon goes on the LEFT. Youu have them backwards.” and walk away. depending on my mood, I usually tell them I was just f\*\*ing with them, but I usually let’em sweat for awhile first! 😃 ---

That cheap tattoo prank is hysterical, so is the fortune cookie prank! Years ago, when I was getting my tattoo done, my OL saw a girl with those chinese characters o her arm. She asked the girl what it meant and she had this real aloof, holier than thou attitude, and said something like “warrior woman” or some sheit. :rolleyes: Her boyfriend got it for her. My OL told me after she left, that it actually said “concubine”. I wonder if she is right, and I also wonder if the boyfriend actually knew it! :o ---

years ago-waaaayyy before anyone ever heard of guys like Shi whats his name, I was a Shaolin Monk. ( for Halloween). I wore a bald cap, and I made brands using a paintbrush and liquid latex. When it dried, I went over it with a pink lip color. It looked very real. people actually thought they were brands. They would actually ask me, “Are those real?” and of I would say, “Are you a f\*\*in idiot?” (on the inside). On the outside, I would politely say ,“No” if it was a pretty girl, I would then tell her how much I respected her, and that nobody ever moved me inside like she did, and that I am really quite shy and sensitive, and although she had beautiful breasts, I hardly noticed them as I was so captivated by her her beautiful eyes… ---
