Scars are an inevitable part of life but some scars leave a lasting impression.
Every scar tells a story. But sometimes, we’d rather turn that story on its head to make it truly ours.
Some people rather cover up and hide their scars but not these people. They wear their scars with pride. It’s simply a part of their life journey and they realize that they have nothing to be ashamed of.
The following scars are innovative and unique. More importantly, they tell a story.
This is a really cool concept. Turing the scar into a butterfly’s body was a cool and creative choice. Not to mention the sweet saying above it. What a unique way to turn a tragedy into a beautiful memoriam.
What a cool way to cover a tattoo. Rather than using the lacing to represent tying up a pair of sneakers, she ties her scar up in a bow. She’s always ready to go!
Amazing work to cover a scar on the wrist and forearm. It’s really tasteful and clever. It fits the animation so well. It actually looks like it came straight from a comic book!
This scar acts as a stem for this nice, little flower. The artist was careful not to use the needle on the tiny line of the scar. These flowers are great coverups.
After transitioning, he was left with some scars on his chest. Fear not, he got a giant tattoo to cover them. It really suits him and goes well with his other tattoos.
An another amazing use of a zipper. Here, it’s also used on the back of the neck. Not sure what the procedure was but this tattoo most definitely has a story.
Instead of inking the actual scar, she decided to create around it. In doing so, she was able to utilize parts of the scar as well. What an imagination!
This dark flower is both remarkable and concealing. You wouldn’t be able to tell that there is a scar there. The details on the rose are amazing as well!
This is one really cool tat! To me, the tattoo bares as a reminder not to harm oneself anymore. It acts as a guard, a protector of the skin, if you will.
This scar was transformed into a marvelous butterfly. If you look a little closer, you’ll see that the scar is really just a cocoon. It blossomed at the right time.
It’s amazing how the scars here are placed into this piece. Adding the hint of red really makes it pop without making it obvious that scars are there. Great planning here!
After two complications with Crohn’s Disease, he decided to make light of the situation and have this Calvin and Hobbes piece tattoed on him. It’s great! The scar looks like shading for the tattoo.
This Norse compass came together nicely! The artist used the scars to his advantage to make it look more like a sketch in a drawing book. At the bottom, they utilized them as part of the bird.
After having surgery, this woman decided to embrace the change. The design is perfectly placed as well. Her necklace is simply a further statement that she will not be defeated!
This is amazing! Another great piece of art from a woman who’s survived breast cancer. Here, the artist drew a nipple to complete the design. Props to both of them!
I don’t know if this was an actual scar from surgery but it sure is cool! A balloon was a great call. I vote getting the character from It drawn next to it though.
Zip up that scar! But there’s a pretty flower there so nevermind. Looks like they agreed and have the zipper coming down to reveal the rose. Great choice!
All this woman wanted to do was cover up her scar from skin cancer. The doctors removed her stitches too early, causing the scar to fill up. The tattoo came out beautifully nonetheless.
Pigmentation tattoos are always cool to see. The creativity of an artist really shines through when covering up these. Mainly because the’re sporadic as opposed to scars being more precise.
These roses look amazing on her skin tone. Looking at the photo on the left, you wonder what the artist is going to do. Well, they definitely came through on this piece!
Scars don’t have to be a mark of shame. All of them tell a story. Use your imagination and be creative! These people sure did.
