My boyfriend used to burn himself with cigarette's?

Question

Okay, well my boyfriend was really into scarification and he tried to do it himself. He usually would just take cigarette's and burn them into his skin for a round circle and combine them to create a design. Well I've thought about it, and I decided I want to get a single cigarette burn on my left shoulder and my boyfriend will do the same. That way we will match and stuff, but I heard a rumor that is you get burned with a cigarette it can cause cancer? Is this true? Also what does a cigarette burn do to you skin that a regular burn wouldn't? Like does the tobacco effect you somehow? Any answers will be thanked unless they are rude.

Answer 1

Have had cigerette burns got by accident infection is a real possiblity.Why dont you go out and buy matching clothes or jewelry or perhaps even at the extreme a piercing and buy jewelry to put in the holes that match,at least that way it will be done in a sanitary way.

Answer 2

well, i dunno about the cancer thing, but if you keep the area clean, it shouldnt get infected.
