if you cut to the muscle I that is really deep.

well give me an estimate how deep you think. most likely unless you don't need stitches. Just try to stop the bleeding, clean it, and wrap something tight around it

I wouldn't try to cut any deeper than normal. The deeper you cut, usually the darker the blood if that helps. Still, it's not exactly healthy.

1/4 of an inch is just deep enough to need stitches. At the very least use some butterfly strips, because otherwise you're going to have a rough time. My advice would be to get that thing sutured though.
