First of all when you heat a needle up it will turn black. When you penetrate the skin with that needle--such as in a burn, the black burned color may be imprinted into the skin. Please remember that your hands will be seen at every career you will ever have in the future and people won't take you serious because of the wound you inflicted upon yourself. I am guessing that at a later date you will want to have plastic surgery to remove those scars. Seems like too much of a risk to me.

A sewing needle is too small and would require numerous burnings on burnings to appear as desired.

Buy a knitting needle since it is larger.

Heat it and begin.

My suggestion first would be to draw on the design you want.

It takes a special pen to do this, so call a tatoo artist and ask if he has one to give you.

Be sure to use a tripeantibiotic ointment or neopsorin ointment on it afterward to protect it from bacteria and infection.

the easiest way to do it at home is branding style. but you wouldent use a needle, youd use a piece of metal in the design, shape, or embolom of what you want, heat it in an open flame like a candle for small, or a stove, for something larger. heat for about five mins, and apply it lightly with oven mits or tongs, to where you want it hold it about 15 seconds. dont push down to hard on yourself And DO NOT MOVE!!! most people have others apply it because doing it to yourself youll naturally jerk, if you do it will be smudged. by the way your scar will be interesting enuff for several years but after about 6 it just sinks into your skin smooth and flat and pretty odd looking. and the future description im giving is straight from my own forearm. good luck

you can't really do anything except make sure the needle is really hot... but they'll probably go away/ definitley fade after a little while anyways. i know you don't wanna hear about it but please just think about it again before you do it... it could end up looking really weird since its not professional and it might look bad after time/ but not completly go away. hope i helped..
