@Dogchasecats ... Great question! Loving the answers! Lots of triggers.
A lot of this felt silly at first.
Acceptance of the unusual takes time.
At least it did for me.
I have a few tattoos - nothing about being owned.
We have talked about getting one together that symbolizes 'us'.
We have decided what we want & where ... just the when remains.
I like this idea.
Branding ... hmmm
This was a big one for me.
I remember when She first had me start wearing hers - I DID feel owned! They were tight & it was a constant reminder!
And now, I haven't worn guy underwear for decades!
Take control of when and if he has an orgasms.
This was how my 'Pavlovian Conditioning' began.
At first it started as a kink - for me.
It was never a kink for her - she saw me as a male who could be 'educated'.
Me recollections of being 'owned'.
The Mistress who brought TND/Chastity to my life (back in college) was serious about the role. Through consistent behaviors & regular statements, She made clear that I belonged to her:
She commanded me rather than ask.
She gave me lectures on FLR.
She assigned 'Servitude' chores (because males served women).
She was possessive of my body parts (in her words, I was only the 'Custodian' of a penis, testicles & semen). This was true of my hands and tongue too.
Because these body parts were Hers, She could command the Custodian to use them as she wished.
The love of my life of the past 25 years is not an 'Ownership' Domme per se - but appreciates the benefits of all that I was taught in my youth.
