brenthutch 383 #1 Posted April 19, 2019 My wife was having GNO, so I had the abandoned dads and kids over for fire pit, beers and s’mores. One of the dads is a surgeon and the conversation turned to scars. I quoted a military buddy who said “chicks dig three things: scars, tattoos and muscles and I just happened to have all three on one arm.” We had a good laugh and talked about how some guys wanted a big Frankenstein scar instead of a delicate trace of a scar. Again we laughed. My wife comes home and asks “what did you guys talk about?” I told her we talked about several things, including scars, to which she inquired “emotional scars?” Face palm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,121 #5 May 1, 2019 Or a way of taking ownership. I saw a woman at a wedding (she was a guest) wearing a backless dress, with her back completely covered by tattoos. Seemed weird, until I saw from the side that her back was also covered with massive scars. Dunno the story, but it did seem like a great way to take ownership of something awful that had happened to her. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew a female jumper who had a tall, narrow tattoo to hide a scar from spinal surgery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
