I've always loved scars! you wear the marks of your life.
I have a scar on my right palm from when I broke an antique chamber pot my mother had as a bird bath. I was small at the time. And a dent in my forehead from running into a door aged two. And I think my GHD hair straighteners burn will scar - a little equals sign on my collarbone and not really badass at all.
Oh. and a small scar on my belly button from when I pierced my own belly button with a needle. Unsurprisingly, it became infected.

And my favourite one of Craig's is on his collarbone where he was charged by a friend holding a super hot mince pie.

I am currently having a "scar" from my teen years removed. It will cost me more than $1200 and it is super super painful. I feel it's worth it though.

What a great post! I love this because I never thought of scars that way. Thank you for sharing.

Christa: I think that's a great mentality!

I have a scar on my left ear from having a keloid removed, and a scar in the center of my right palm. The latter is from 8th grade bio class, from when I was trying to wedge glass tubing into a rubber stopper, broke it off, and jabbed it into my palm. I SWEAR it was hollow in there ...

But my tattoos are my life-markers. I get a new one when a chapter has closed, or a new one opened.

I have multiple scars on both of my knees from various bike accidents from when I was a kid.

Tons of scars on my legs from mosquito bites that I couldn't help but scratch and then turned into scabs that I accidentally scratched off.

I have two scars on my left elbow from when I was 6 and thought I was a monkey so naturally swinging from branches in the tree seemed like a good idea. But instead of swinging from the branches I jumped, missed and broke my arm and had to have surgery and two pins placed in it.

I also have 2 tattoos.

My piercings are still piercings... luckily even real bosses in Austin seem to care more about the job being done than if I have purple hair or a loop in my nose.

I have small scars littering my face, most go unnoticed but carry their own stories - the gash missing from the bridge of my nose from last summer's water slide (I got a free margarita, wasn't complaining), the joker scar stretching from the right corner of my mouth, reminding me of what a hardass on the softball field I am...

The knee scars take the cake though. 4 surgeries in less than a decade - 3 ACL reconstructions, an MCL, an arthrosopy. They represent life-altering events, proof that at 23 I'll never be at my highest potential, and they testify for my hope, optimism and hard work to be as close to that potential as possible :)

I have a huge scar on my knee from falling off my bike when I was ten. I hated it so much for so long- this year (I'm 24) is the first that I have actually worn shorts and skirts consistently. I have finally learned to love it. And I really do love it.

I have a scar above and below my lips from a drunk bike accident almost two years ago. I flipped my handlebars and stopped myself with my face :( I broke my two top front teeth then too, which caused me to get over any sort of scars or physical blemishes very quickly. My hands also have some interesting scars from that fall.

Other than that I have a lot of scars on my hands and arms from cooking, baking, and being a barista.

I'm also pretty well tattooed, so I guess that's got its own thing going :)

I love the miscellaneous scars that I (and other people have). It's absolutely a chronicle of my lifetime of adventure! Nothing awesome like mountain biking, though; although I do have one from when my brother scratched me at the age of 10. And I even have some that I can't explain!

Oh, Miss Sarah Von, don't even pretend this post isn't latently Harry-Potter-inspired!;) I've just started reading the books for the first time, too, buddy!

I have no cool scars. A little chicken pox scar that looks like a small Lego was pressed into my cheek. But I love my birthmark--it's cool to look at it and think about everything I've seen and been through in my life.

Ms. Constantine: I know! I'm not sure I can recommend belly-button piercing with a piercing gun, but I was too young to go to a piercing shop at the time. Ridiculous!

I have a scar on my right temple from having a cyst removed. And I have four scars on my abdomen from having my gallbladder removed. Nice. I also have some lovely post-pregnancy stretch-marks, as well as some stretch marks from dance.

I have a scar on my knee from when I was five and constantly fell over on the same spot.

And I have a faint star scar that I etched into the top of my wrist with a compass when I was at high school. lol.

So at the end of that post did you say that you and your friend pierced your belly buttons with a stud gun?!?! Crazy lady!

2009-06-30T08:36:09.075-05:00

I have lots and lots of little scars... on my hands, on my feet, on my knees, on my elbows.

Only one big one though - I was jumping off the bonnet of a parked car when I was small and caught my leg in the broken ariel, and was left with a 6 inch curved scar up my thigh.

You won an award over at my blog for all the inspiring posts you put up.

Large ones on my arm, from BMXing when I was young and snapping my arm in half. And a few others from kitchen and cycling accidents. I'll get a few more before I'm old, I'm sure.

Like you, with these I've never felt the need for tattoos.
