Scars

One small one on my lower lip from a drunken knife fight with a friend. I was under the impression it was a slashy-showy-aim-for-their-blade kinda fight. He got face-stabby. Could have been a lot worse, so we put down the knives and carried on drinking.

A nice big scar/dent on my forehead and a large one on the back of my left hand where there was a hole - both from sky diving.

Various other small ones due to being horribly accident prone!

a few small ones noticeable only to me. Scars can certainly be attractive though, bit of character.

Have a large scar on my arm from pulling a kettle full of boiling water on myself when I was 10 months old. Apparently I decided it was a good idea to use the kettle lead as a rope to help me stand up when I was learning to walk. The scald left me with a scar running from my armpit down to my elbow.

I've never felt self conscious about it or anything like that and I've never had any negative reactions to it really, most people ask if the can have a feel of it.:pac:

I have a few. A forehead one like Harry Potter only alot smaller (tripped over a bag in school), most of my knuckles(put through a glass door), under my chin (skateboard fall), back of my head (slipped around swimming pool) wrist ( large pissed off Monitor lizard, back of legs 7/8 dots (from a bmx chain disc) right leg small scar (from an Avensis driving over me) and a few more little ones on my arms from bite from the snake and falling etc.

From face down...

Small scar under lip from getting a crack off a crowbar
Couple of small nicks around ribcage area from damaged rugby studs
Seven inch forked scar on left arm from barbed wire
Gouge on right forearm from catching someone jumping off something, caught on high heel
Back of left hand, slash from being caught in a piece of machinery
Palm of left hand, breaking fall by catching self, landed on broken glass
Barely visible mess on right wrist from falling at a flat run on more broken glass
Back of right hand between thumb and forefinger, someone bit me
Knife cut on right index finger
Back of right thigh, punctures from long tined barbed wire
Left shin, gouge from bicycle pedal
Right foot, turtle bite. Yep, turtle.

Have layers on knees and such as well from falls. Seems like a lot compared to some, especially considering I've some that have faded to invisibility and haven't had any serious accidents or mishaps.

I will say, in terms of the opposite sex, while I don't go looking for scars, they all tell a story, one way or another, but the main thing is how the other person carries them. I'll admit that much vanity in terms of trying to hide them would put me off. As is visible enough, I've plenty of my own, and I don't mind them. If someone else seemed ashamed of theirs and tried to hide them, well, I'd feel their distaste reflected on me as well.

I have one from getting my appendix removed.
