I have done this and it worked great for me! I also like to draw things where I want to cut, like hearts or butterflies. And if I'm having a really rough time...I might draw "cuts" on my skin with red marker, to give me the visual effect without the damage. Then it can be scrubbed right off like it never happened. It seems kinda dark, but if you're really struggling, you could try it.
