bcguy42 38594 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 "There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with." -Harry Crews, novelist and playwright (b. 1935) I ran across this quote and thought it would resonate with various folk. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reuben Sandwich 13841 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 You were correct. I have scars rather then tattoos. Not that I went out and planned to get them. Each one has a funny or fugly story behind them. And generally a lesson on how to be more careful when handling sharp, heavy, radioactive, flammable, explosive, toxic things while standing on the "Do Not Stand" part of a ladder. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aspen Wilde 31370 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 I've got a new scar-in-progress! Right now it's still healing up, a fresh hook-shaped scalpel-wound where the doctor cut me up last week to remove a benign tumour from my ankle region. It doesn't hurt now (well, except when I stretch it too much), and I'm starting to grow rather fond of it. This was my first major surgery and I'm damn proud of myself for getting through it so stylishly. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cat 262460 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 I have a facial scar that I got when I was a toddler and my dermatologist has been trying to get rid of it in all kinds of sly ways and I nix it every time. I have patiently explained several times that if he removes it I will never know my left from my right! I have always worried about scars on my body tho and it's why I've never gone under the knife to have a breast lift. I've read so many derogatory remarks about scars that it scares me. I happen to love scars, the way they feel under my touch and the stories that accompany them both... cat 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CristyCurves 169032 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 Wether they are intentional or unintentional they are part of you and they make you unique. Their story is for you to share or not to share and part of your journey to becoming "you". Others may look at them and see them as ugly, some may not notice some may find beauty in them but what is important in the end , for all of us is how we see our selves. Sometimes when we become externally marred our internal being grows stronger, more accepting, understanding-beautiful and imperfections can be more appealing sometimes then perfections. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcguy42 38594 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 Since I started this, I should tell a bit about mine. Some are internal, emotional scars. Those are the ones that came to mind when I saw the quote. Pretty much most of my physical scars are not readily apparent unless you look for them. The most noticeable one, were I to shave my head, is a huge horse-shoe shaped scar on the back of my head. A reminder of brain surgery. Another smallish one, hidden by my watch, is from an extremely dark time where I made a choice I might not have made now. The rest of them are for the most part from when I was "young, dumb, and full of cum" and could form the basis of a great story telling exercise.

spud271 47779 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 I have more scars than I can count! 99% of them are from combat. They are a reminder of everything I've been through and each one has a story to be told behind it. I've always felt scars are part of the story of someone's life and something to proud of. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank7 3939 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 I still have a scar in the back of my head. When i was a little kid, i decided to attack the corner of the TV with my head. You can guess who won. =p Aside from that, just a little half-moon scar on my thumb, when i cut myself openning a tuna can at 10 years old. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoppinhorny 1219 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 Having had 5 lung surgeries in my life already, scars are pretty much a part of me. I've had people ask me about them at the beach. I usually tell them that I wasn't very nice, so I had to give back my wings (makes sense when you see them). And I've had people tell me it's gross looking. I just respond that there isn't much I can do about them and if they don't like them, to not look at them 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Claire Heavens 51771 Report post Posted January 11, 2013 I think scars are extremely sexy. kinda bizarre- but i love the look and feel of them. the story behind them is something in itself but the actual physical appearance of scars are attractive to me- i cant explain it. Shhhh! Drooool ;) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolette Vaughn 294340 Report post Posted January 11, 2013 I have a scar right down the middle of my left leg as a result from shaving when i was a teenager. All I remember is that 5 bandaids wouldn't stop the blood and others seeing a trail of blood all over the floor. And even now, I always seem to be nicking myself when shaving. I am dying to get laser hair removal done on my legs. I am sick of shaving and all the bullshit that comes with it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikeyboy 27133 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 I've always found scars sexy, although I thought it was a perverse pleasure. (never thought I would find people agreeing with me on that one.) I have a couple. One on my face from a childhood accident, and a small knife wound on my back. (we played rough when I was a teenager.) Sometimes surprised I survived my childhood.

Nicolette Vaughn 294340 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 Oh and another scar I have that has a funny history behind it was when I was stabbed in my big toe by my older sister's friend with a pitchfork when I was 4 or 5 years old. I remember that incident to this day. They were making mudpies in the friend's backyard and they didn't want me there. I used to follow my sister everywhere. They told me to leave and naturally the fiesty part of me stood up with my hands on my hips and said "Make me!" Then my sister's friend stabbed me in the foot with a pitchfork. All I remember is my sister trying to carry me home and blood was everywhere while I was crying hysterically. Of course she got in trouble and I vaguely remember my mother or Aunt going to tell off this girl's mother. LOL. I laugh about it now but that hurt like a bitch! I've still got the scar to prove it!
