Description

From the source, the artist’s own comments:
 
I don’t know why I polished this image so much, I planned to make it as a quick drawing in a simple comic style. Maybe my recent dark thoughts led me to use it as a practice material. As always there still are some things on which I could work more but I think that I’ve already spent enough (if not too much) time on this piece.
Anyway - this is the picture that came to my mind when I was listening about CMC issue with their cutie marks over and over.
While looking for references I learned an interesting thing that an old animal hot branding is no more used. Nowaday used so called “freeze branding” doesn’t inflict such pain to animals.
Art by me.

I can speak for immediately running burns under cold water for 20 minutes, had a small accident with a frying pan of burning hot grease once - had my hand bandaged for a week afterwards (and 5 years later, the skin on the part of my hand that got burnt is still a visibly slightly darker shade than the rest of my hand).
I burned my foot earlier this year, in much the same way no less.

My accident was when I splashed the burning hot grease out of the frying pan and all over my hand.
The worst part is, I got to the hospital at about 9AM, got seen at about 1AM, went home to bed with my hand bandaged so tightly I couldn’t move it, and a few hours later went to work as normal - I work on computers, and had to work with my dominant hand bandaged stiff for a week because the boss is very much the sort of person who feels work is an excellent cure for whatever ails you.
Presenteeism effin’ abounds in our company. Whenever anyone’s off sick or injured, he cares less about their health and more about who’s covering their deadlines.

It’s very likely that Bloomie just asked somebody for assistance, to help her with hot branding. That could be either Scootaloo or Sweetie Belle who’s been holding a branding iron.
I think I had a similar accident once, where I touched a stove. That was nothing major, cold water was everything I needed.

The mane question I have right now is…how in the hay did Bloomie reach around back there and do all that with a STRAIGHT branding iron?

Cool the burn under cold running water for at least 20 minutes. Cooling the burn will reduce pain, swelling and the risk of scarring. The sooner and longer a burn is cooled with cold running water, the less the impact of the injury

😂
The pain a horse endures during hot branding should be minimal as the brand is only on their skin for a couple seconds

Friendship, Art, and Magic (2017) - Celebrated Derpibooru's five year anniversary with friends.

This looks like it hurts a shitton, but do you know what this means?
 
Apple Bloom is choosing her own cutie mark, and her own destiny. I really gotta admire that.

And her cutiemark reflects the self-harming/mutilation that came with branding herself.
 
P.S Applebloom, don’t forget the other side! Not like you could’ve just gotten a marker and drawn it on!

In the episode “The Cutie Mark Chronicles” about how all of the Mane 6 got their cutie marks, it was shown just appearing with a bit of a flash of magic, but they didn’t really seem to feel it at all, just saw that it was happening. :)

The Cutie Mark appearing probably hurts or at least feels weird.

My headcanon Apple Bloom performed heart surgery on herself once (to be fair, her heart is artificial in this alternate universe, as are her legs, spine and pelvis)
