Scarification with a tattoo gun?

Hi…I am wanting to get a scarification of a simple vine and leaves from the top of my shoulder, across my back, and over my hip. I have never had any other body mods done, and the reason I want to do this one is because I have other scars and stretch marks on my body that I don’t like, and I want a scar that I can think of as beautiful, so I can work on accepting my other ones. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. I wanted a tattoo at first, but I realized I don’t want ink, I just want my own skin. My question is this: I have heard of scars being done with a tattoo gun, but I can’t seem to find any other information about it. What would I need to do to ensure that it would actually scar, since you usually treat a tat so it -won’t- scar? Is the whole idea even worth it, or would I have better results with just regular cutting? I had thought about skin removal, but I don’t think I could handle that just yet.

Any other information on this would be great. I don’t want keliods, I just want a visible scar. Thanks in advance!

A cutting will give you far better results. Tattoo machine scarification can be attained by several means; dulling or kinging the needles, using an irritant as ink, adjusting the needle depth and machine tunings as well as others but with the quality of cutting being done today, it seems like a crude method of obtaining the results I imagine you desire.
