Candidly, I don’t have any tattoos. I do, however, have many scars. Emotional and physical ones.
We’re here today to celebrate the people who had imperfections on their skin and decided “why not make the best of this space?” They got creative with a tattoo artist and were more than satisfied with the result.
If you’re thinking about inking (this is something only a non-tattooed person would write), try a spot on your body you’d like to celebrate instead of remaining self-conscious about. Below, you’ll find lots of inspiration.
Here are the best tattoos that people got to cover up scars on their bodies:
1. Tattoo covering top surgery.
2. Alien abduction.
3. A butterfly.
4. Make the most of what you’ve got!
5. My first tattoo.
6. Did the cat give him the scar, though?
7. Very interesting custom project around a scar.
