Hi, just butting in to say I've actually done body stitching before and it's honestly super cool, but you can't just do it however and wherever unless you wanna end up hurting yourself.

The trick to body stitching is that you only puncture the very top layer of your skin, just deep enough for the needle and thread to go through, your needle should never get to your flesh. Now, for the needle and thread to actually go through, the skin needs to have a certain thickness, which is why stitching your arms is generaly a bad idea, specially if you're a beginer or if you don't take pain well. The best parts to stitch are the hands and feet where the skin is rough from wear. If you try stitching areas where the skin is softer, like your arms, the top layer of skin won't be though enough for the needle to go through and it will break. In order to be able to stitch such areas you would have to make the needle go deeper and you will just end up cutting yourself.

Using the thinnest needle you can find helps a lot, but more so than that, a needle with a thin eye is the best choice! If your needle is thin but it has a wide eye, when the eye and thread try to pass through the hole the needle made they will most likely break it.

Also I've never sterilized my needles because I'm a mess, but you should probably do it.

Also also, it stings when it gets wet. Just a heads up.
