Um, think long and hard before A: shedding blood for an entity, and B: putting any entity's seal on your body. You're opening yourself up to a world of trouble. Certainly don't do this for a demon, although if you're path is base and materialistic in the first place then, I suppose there's no conflict of interest there. If you're intention is to eventually reach some expanded/higher conscious state of living, then I would personally reccommend that if you are putting any entity's mark on your body, pick one from a higher plane.
2 black and 1 1/2 white candles sounds, symbolically, like the negative slightly outweighing the positive. But then, that really depends on your own correspondence for those colors.
Hey, I have a thought, what if you were inspired to do this by an entity which wants to get an in to your body and energy? If I were a demon, for instance, and wanted an easy lunch, I'd whisper in someone's ear that they should do something remarkably similar to this, in exchange for whatever random thing I could think up. Then I would eat them.
Ritual scarring and/or tattooing is not unheard of, but it's a lifetime commitment. Putting the mark itself on you isn't much of a reward is it? I mean, what is that, advertising space? It's what that action allows/causes that is the 'reward' and it's a pretty one sided deal if you ask me. At least ask for something that's worth the cost.
