i would do it.....
i've been on the bridge of getting tatted up on my wrists..... then to sleeves......
i think you would need to set the power higher though... you need to get through most of the layers of skin for it to scar up..... the first few layers wont do much...

I have a lot of traditional branding and as a former body artist I really wouldn't recommend getting it done with a laser cutter. I'm not an expert on those cutters but if the"focal length" (?) is off, it's not going to do a good job. As body parts aren't flat, this is unavoidable. The tool has to follow the contours of the skin/body for an even result.
thought some people might appreciate this:
