If you are careful you don't need to be worried about being stung. I have been keeping scorpions for about 10 years now and have never been stung.
You could also look into getting an emperor, they are easy to find, big, scary looking, and their venom is practically harmless. The worst allergic reaction I have heard of from one was swelling in the hand and a tingly feeling up the arm and both went away in a couple hours with the only treatment being a cold compress. Unfortunately they are not very active and spend most of their time hiding.
