I am getting a cautery branding done soon. While at the studio, I was hoping to ask the artist some questions about another mod I have planned for the near future - dermal punching my outer conch.

Is it appropriate to discuss other mods while receiving one? I’d wait until after the branding procedure is done so he can concentrate, but would discussing the dermal punch afterwards be inappropriate, or should I make a separate consultation appointment?

I have to admit, it’s kind of refreshing to see a lot of AskBME questions being about etiquette. It’s nice to know that some people do give some consideration to being considerate.

Asking the person who is doing your brand about your dermal punching your conch is more-than-okay…assuming they are also the person who will be doing the punch. If not, it might be a little tacky, but even then, it shouldn’t be that big of a deal. You might even want to consider asking them before the brand, so you don’t forget in the excitement of having just gotten branded.
