I haver a scar (more like a small disfformity) I regret because I sometimes feel that if I would have gone to the doctor in time (or at all) I would have not have it now. Also I got injured by doing just a stupid thing so it’s sad have a constant reminder of that. But whatever, you end up learning to live with it.

I don’t regret any scars. But I have two tattoos I wish I didn’t have and one I wish was a little different. I’m black, and most artists that aren’t black themselves do not work with black skin. So some of my earlier stuff is “bad” because of that . However, I rarely expose my limbs so I forget about them a lot. At the end of the day, I just don’t fancy them, but I’m grateful they’re not something truly horrendous or offensive.

Edit: I regret getting a second ear piercing, but that’s because it caused a keloid. I was relieved that it was about the size of a pimple and never risked it again.

No but I’m this close to getting some biblically accurate angel and Pikmin tattoos and I have no idea if I’d regret them when I’m older or embrace them LMAO

Luckily no. Have earings, never regretted them. Have a tattoo I drew myself that came to me in a dream, which seemed pretty timeless, at least to me. Still happy with it and of where it is.

Thought of getting more tattoos, but glad I never did. Never could come up with another design I would be 100% content with, or that I was certain that I would never outgrow. I had friends and ex-partners that got tattoos on a whim or impulsively, getting a tattoo can be fairly cheap, getting a tattoo removed can easily be thousands of dollars. And that is assuming there is no scarring.

I did the thing and got a tattoo of something special between me and my spouse.

Now ex-spouse.

Am currently getting laser tattoo removal to lighten it enough for a cover up.

I had a piercing that turned into a scar. Got a stud put in at a music festival, and that’s how I learned I’m allergic to low-purity silver alloys. After taking the anchor-y part off the back, I had to fish the stud out of my swollen earlobe with needle-nose pliers.

I got 5 dermal anchors back when I was 18. They have been nothing but problems. I’m down to 3, 2 having been ripped out this past year… I’ll let the other three reject whenever they decide to do so (I’ve been preventing rejection for almost 20 years and I’m tired of it). I’d have to pay to get them removed, which I’m not doing.

Don’t get dermal anchors.

No, actually. I got tattoos way back when it was a shocking thing for a woman to do, am really so shocked myself that they became popular. Thought I might not like them when I was in my 30s/40s but knew I’d like them when I was old. But as it turns out, I liked having them straight through and still do.

Scars I do like too.

I have a scar in my left armpit. I have several patches of skin all over my body which looks and behaves funky. I have brown straight hair but where my funky skin is I have blond spare curly hair which doesn’t grow long. I got it lasered on my neck and face as a teenager because I was told it needs to go because insurance didn’t want to continue paying for an acid creme to make it brighter (the skin is also darker and uneven). + random assholes asking me if I didn’t wash my neck. Under my arm the skin got often inflamed from sweating and looked like a rough naked mole. They tried to laser it and I got bad scarring and they decided to cut it away. Roughly 10 cm. The scar is ugly as hell. I can’t feel shit and it is uneven and hard to shave around. Lifting my arm for sport like jumping jacks hurt. Lucky me I hate sport anyway.

Stretch marks…

Be careful about offering up identifiable information that you can’t change on a random lemmy post, especially if you’re in the U.S.

One band logo tattoo. I got it when I was childishly upset at someone I soon after broke up with. One day I’ll get it covered up. It’s a good in for people to talk to me at least it seems haha

I got an ugly scar on my pinky from a bullying incident at school when I was 12. It’s not like this was their intention, but it got out of hand and a door slammed hard on my finger.
I had to get rushed to the hospital, got stitches and a massive bandage for half a year.
The bullies never apologized and it got brushed off as an accident.

It’s a reminder of bad times during my teenage years and I still get sad when I look at it.

I’m not a violent person, but I have gone down on a road bike many times and one of the common injuries is skinned up knuckles. I have some deep scars as a result. It would be easy to assume they were the result of violence. My size and build also supports this assumption. I am entirely the opposite type of person.
