Cutting I think this might be the place to start, to leave a scar is there anything special to agitate the skin so it doesn’t heal? How deep do I need to go? Any good places on the body that scar more easily or are safely done by someone new?

A tattoo this one is the one I’m most interested in, I understand you can cut someone and use India ink to stain the cut, is tat actually permanent? how deep does that cut need to be?

I don’t think I can teach myself branding though I have herd that you can practice on note books to practice depth control and never to use a closed design so the skin can heal. What are the materials you make the brand out of? How to heat it can it be to hot?

And of course after care if I’m doing something that’s permanent, I don’t want it to be ruined through improper care and healing. Any advice is great but I’m hoping for experience since it’s what I think of as serious.
