I have a couple large scars that I refer to as my earthworm tattoos. I don't think I could handle getting tats to enhance them though. I have a true phobia of needles and poky things that pierce my skin.

so I don't worry about it since only doctors actually see them, or if I had a SO, they would see them, it would be mostly for me and I'm pretty used to them after all these decades.

I'm not sure how to describe it, but it's very different from getting a shot (you still might hate it, I mean, but it's not that feeling)

I don't have any tattoos, and don't plan on getting any, but do see some in that compilation that I would consider if I had a scar to disguise.

The fingernail one is particularly ingenious.
