Very impressive! Skin peeling is a way ahead of what I as a “novice-cutter’ would do, nonetheless I admire the results.
A friend of mine once wanted a cutting (a scorpion, his zodiac, located on the right shoulder blade) and I said fine I'll do it, but first needed to get informed about the whole thing. During the talks and mails with some experienced cutters in my region and abroad I got more and more interested in it and decided to try it out on myself.
First and less serious I wanted to write something like “Yes, it hurts’ to answer any useless questions in advance, but decided otherwise as it is quite a personal thing, almost ceremonial. Therefore I gave it more thought and deceided for something which reflects more my basic views and opinion.
(nope, a pentagram does not unavoidably connects with a belief in a divine or supernatural power, nor “evil’ nor “good’.)
That’s the result, about 3 years later:
Interesting enough the cut didn’t hurt as much as the aftercare, to hold the wound open as long as possible to get the scarring result you want.

But I have been unable to retain scars since I reached my teens. At risk or revealing too much about myself, I have done some pretty serious self harm involving deep cuts, burns, and occasionally flesh removal. I now have no scars left from any of that.
Heck, I got a third degree steam burn(severity confirmed by an rn) a week ago and you can barely even see it now. Three days ago I went to another nurse on campus just to check and make sure it was doing ok and she though it was well over two weeks old.
I just heal really quickly.
The only visible scars I have now are about ten years old from horseback riding accidents when I was twelve.
*shrug* They don't last on me, but I still really like the look of scars..
You’re definitely not the only one
and I can’t agree more! A scar is absolutely natural since it is part of your very own healing process; you’re literally growing it yourself. Yay!
But you’ve an impressive wound healing, especially when it comes to burns! However did you treat your cuts afterwards? Like remove scabbing using a toothbrush & peroxide or lemon juice or salt? Of course with this you have to be very mindful about personal hygiene, because of the increased risk for infection and this is where it really hurts. But I really think you have a chance to keep the scar you want.
The 'rundi pic is a stamp I made to sign my art. I've thought of getting it tattooed on my ankle where the scar used to be.
