1. One tat.. for now.. more to come..

assorted sundry scars, a few freckles here and there..

[Breeze54]

2. I have freckles, moles, scars and one tattoo.

It's a blue dot on my ankle. That's it.

It was supposed to be a Blue Bird of Happiness but

I chickened out when they started with the ink. Argh!!

The shots of whiskey didn't work!! :P

On edit: I forgot about the scars.

I have a 4 or 5" long scar on my knee.
I lost a fight with a doll baby carriage.
Wooden baby carriage and it had a nail sticking out.

I have a scar on my hand from when I was washing a glass glass
and it just burst and I reacted by pulling my hand out fast and
it sliced me up. 13 stitches on my knuckle. It still looks lumpy.

3. My dear Swede...

I have a birthmark...

It's a port-wine mark, on the inside of my left forearm...

It looks like a Cocker Spaniel!

It gets lighter or darker, depending on how warm or cool my arm is!

How about you?

:hi:

[Swede]

7. No tattoos. A few scars from a misspent youth.

A birthmark on my back that has the shape of a scorpion.

[Generic Brad]

4. I had a birthmark once

But it peeled off when I was 40. Either that or I never washed well until then.

[khashka]

5. OK. Here we go...

2 Tats - one on my inside right thigh, one next to my left nipple. Both done by my exwife.
14 body piercings. Once you start it's hard to stop.
Scars. Many. But I scar well - thin white lines that only show if I'm deeply tanned.


Khash.

6. A small birthmark on my back.

A small scar on the back of my head from tipping my chair over and cutting my head on the corner of the kitchen counter (3 stitches)

A large scar on the side of my head from a collision with a runner sled (28 stitches)

A nice straight scar on my ring finger from trying to cut a popsickle stick with a paring knife (4 stitches)

An L-shaped scar on my ankle from stepping in my uncle's glass flower bed (3 stitches)

Chisel scar on my knee (4 stitches)

A hernia scar in my groin

5 little scars evenly spaced across my abdomen from my laparoscopic Nissen surgery

Dagger-shaped scar on my arm (experiment in scarification)

Circumcision scar (wish I wasn't)

No tattoos

[LeftyMom]

8. Too many scars to count, one tattoo, no birthmarks except moles and beauty marks

in which case we're back into uncountable territory.

[NightWatcher]

9. I think scars are cooler than tats

Scars tell a story and are not planned

[madeline_con]

13. Chicks dig scars.

:loveya:

[XemaSab]

20. Tats tell a story sometimes

:D

[khashka]

23. Half way there

Scars, tats, stretchmarks, etc.

No sex threads... but... when I make love to someone, those things give me a road map to their life.

Khash.

[AlCzervik]

:rofl:

[CBHagman]

15. Scars!

From when my poor mother had to take me to the emergency room for stitches. You know how kids are: always falling off something or landing on it. OUCH!

[movie_girl99]

17. hmm let see...

birthmark on my hip...kind of a big freckle
one tiny scar on my forehead from falling off monkey bars in 1st grade
c-section scar from my second child..he weighed 10lbs!
tiny scar under belly button and a couple of tinier ones on tummy from appendectomy
awesome tattoo on right foot of flower w/ peace sign in the middle with leaves and vines

[ThomCat]

19. A bunch of scars.

Doesn't everyone have minor birthmarks? :shrug:

No tattoos.

[Jamastiene]

21. No tattoos or birthmarks, but I have scars galore.

Let me see:

There is a scar on my right calf about 3 and a half inches long from laying carpet while sitting on the floor. There was a single tack in the middle of the floor under the carpet. The carpet was old and the tack poked through and snagged my skin. I didn't think I'd ever quit bleeding. Wow, that hurt...but I kinda liked it. That was my first inkling that I might be "into" pain a little.

I have a scar on my left knee from a can lid that poked through a trash bag I was carrying out to the garbage can outside as a kid. It was too heavy for me. The skin folded back and I had to tape it back in place while it healed because it just wouldn't stay put.

I have a scar in my belly button, a scar right above that, and a scar on the right hand side of my stomach from laroscopic (spelling?) gall bladder surgery.

I have a scar over my left eyebrow from a motorcycle accident. If you are on my friends list on Myspace, you can read all about that. I won't post it here but I will PM a link if someone (on DU only) specifically asks. There may be Courtney haters around. They are after me right now. Long story on that and I won't get into it. In any case, the motorcycle scar story is funny as hell.

I have a three separate scars on my lower left leg from stepping through an aquarium. My cat was on the fence and I was afraid she'd fall into the rose bush and hurt her leg, so I stepped on the overturned aquarium. I had my herbs growing under it. I had the aquarium there as a makeshift terrarium for the herbs. I stepped up on it in a panic to rescue my cat and my leg went through it. I had to wait and bleed while my mother laid newspapers on the floorboard of her car (which is now my car), so I wouldn't get blood in her car. I must have lost an entire pint while she made the edges all match up and line up just so. :eyes: That was rather funny after the fact too, but I never have blogged about it...yet.

I have a small scar on the corner of my mouth from an accidental "dog bite." Long story short, my dog never actually bit me. He didn't like children and was notorious for biting children. So for my 7th birthday, my mother and my aunt thought it would be a great idea to rescue him for me. They said if he bit me though, he'd have to go back. He never bit me on purpose. I'm glad they got him for me. He was a great dog. He always got along with me, but there was one thing he didn't like. He didn't like staying indoors, so he had to stay outdoors. He would dig out of any fence barriers we built (even rocks buried along the perimeter 3 feet deep). So, he had to be on a chain. We were out playing one day and I accidentally fell down and we both got tangled up in his chain. His tooth accidentally hit my lip and it was cold outside. I bled a little and it scarred, but the dog didn't bite me. He never did bite me once in his 17 years with me. Great dog, Sockie was.

I have a scar on the side of my face, a small one, where Sunday Girl was sleeping on my chest and had a nightmare and scratched the hell out of me when a loud noise outside startled her and woke her up. That was an accident too.

I have scars under both boobs from my breast reduction surgery. They are barely noticeable unless someone really searches for them.

I have a scar on the inside of my left upper leg where I cut myself with a razor blade back during my cutting days. Also, from my cutting days, I have a inch long scar on my right forearm. That one was from a hunting knife. I also carved a D (capital D) in my left knee during 7th grade recess using my pocket knife. The D was for Deborah Harry. I didn't have time to finish her initials during recess, and then forgot to finish it later.

I have a scar on the back side of my head from being smacked in the head with a hammer in a murder attempt that happened a few years ago too. That one is sort of hidden, thankfully. I'd hate to have to retell that horrifying story ever again to be honest about it.

I have a cigarette burn on my stomach from laying in bed smoking while I was stoned. I missed the ashtray when I went to put my cigarette out. It made a sizzling sound. I'll never forget that. I came out of that bed and came down from my high soooo quick like when that happened.

If I think of any more, I'll come back and post them, but these are the ones I remember right off the top of my head.

[DarkTirade]

25. There are several tattoos I want

but lack of funding is preventing that from happening anytime soon.

I do have one little collection of scars on my left arm. Long story short... kinky ex.

I also have a mole on my chest that I'll jokingly refer to as a third nipple now and then, although it's small and looks nothing like a nipple. :P

[Adsos Letter]

26. ...yup...

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. All over my tummy. Scars that is.
