They can be, but you need a cool story to back it up.

Agreed. Most of mine have cool stories attached to remind me

But then some people are very embarrassed of theirs, so I guess it's just horses for courses

I'd like a scar from a shark bite, now that would be cool.

I have a scar on my back that's known as my shark bite scar, came from an op to remove half my left lung a couple of years ago.. people actually believe me when I tell them it was done by a shark

Didn't heal up too well after the op, the scarring is worse than it should have been..

Ouch

Looks similar to mine, mine goes from the belly button to about 2" below the chin. Got it from when I was helping cut down a tree in mates back garden, was 3/4 the way up the tree, lost footing and slide down the tree and chest went over a freshly cut and spikey nub left from a branch we took off. Mine just looks like I've had heart surgery though so it's lacking in coolness :/

My scars are boring. Ive got huge ones across my back.. looks like ive been whipped by a cat o' nine tails or something. Infact its just stretch marks from growning so fast as a kid. And ive got a tiny one on my finger from slicing it with a craft knife.

animal scars are way better though

Got a nice crescent 6" one on my arm for when I put it through some vandle proof glass. 14 Stitches in my arm and two in my thumb

6 stitches in my knee from when I was in a club and knelt down on a pint pot twice

6 stitches in my foot from when I stood on a bottle when I was a kid

Scars do need a cool story though to go with them

devianz · 19 Jun 2007 at 12:28

both my elbows look like the surface of the moon!
1 side from skateboarding whilst drunk... never a good idea! :rolleyes:

the other from being knocked of my bike by a car + the git didn't even stop! :mad:

needed 17 stiches in my elbow for that one!
Also have a 2" scar on the back of my head from when i was 3 and my sister pushed me through a plate glass window.. cheers sis!

I don't mind them at all really.

Got one in the middle of my forehead from nutting a 4.5 litre whisky bottle, one in my left eyebrow from nutting a lad at college, one on my right eyebrow from falling off a high school roof, one on my ankle from being shot by an air rifle... think thats it. Usual bumps and scrapes on my head and arms and hands but nothing major.

Dare we ask why you butted a 4.5 litre Whisky Bottle ?

Oh, I just remembered; Ive got two small scars on my forehead. One was from flying down a hill on my bike when I was a kid.. I hit some gravel and fell off.. result; 5 stitches. Next day I was flying down the same hill, hit the same bit of gravel.. fell off.. result; 5 stitches. I didn't try it again.

Bear trap (pedal) scar

:

My first scar is about 3" down my shin, luckily its now the same colour as my skin, but no hair grows on it. I did it downhill mountain biking about 3 years ago, went off a 5 or 6ft drop off and lost my footing on my bear trap pedals:

Like these:

I didn't wear my knee and shin guards that day, so my fault really. The pedal went straight up my leg and took me down to the shin bone. I knew I'd hurt myself but it just felt like a bruise, until after cycling for about 10mins I pulled up my trousers and saw I'd cut it open. :eek:

Here's the scar: SCAR LINK

Snakebite scar

My second was when I was drunk...

So it's not so cool.
I was stood against a concrete pillar in a club, it had a wooden shelf for people to put their drinks on. I lent against it and slammed my elbows onto the shelf - which had a wine glass on. I smashed it against the wall with my elbow, leading my arm to pour with blood for ages.

Here's the scar: SCAR LINK

Thats all, so far... hopefully!

I've told the story a few times. I used to use it to store my change (1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 pence pieces) and one day kicked it over by accident when sat on my bed. So I picked all the pieces of glass up and moved the remains of the bottle to one side so I didn't cut my feet on it, thinking I'd get something else to keep my change in when I got a chance.

That night I couldn't sleep, so I swung down off my bed to get my TV remote off the floor next to the bed. Unfortunately, as you may now have guessed, I'd moved the remains of the bottle to the side of my bed I'd just swung down from. There was a huge CRUNCHtinkletinkle noise of breaking glass and crunching skull, and when I pulled myself back up the bottle came off the floor (with about £80 worth of change in it!) and then fell out of my head.

Queue me screaming out of my door to the bathroom covering the house in blood, and my mum had heard the commotion and came out of the bedroom to see my white (well, now pink/red) bedroom door, the landing and the bathroom door covered in blood, with me in there, blood all over my face quickly filling the sink with blood.

**** myself for days. If the point of glass that embedded itself in my skull had been an inch lower at any point on my face it'd have blinded me in one eye, at best. Killed me at worst.

I got scars and crap all over my hands, cooking, labouring, failling off things.
Nice scar from a compound fracture in my left leg.
On on my left hand middle knuckle where I set fire to a pile of potassium on it for a dare (stupidly)
A couple on my forehead, cracked my head open twice when I was a little kid>
i've got one of two cigarette burns, a smiley (quite recent) on my chest.
I've also rearanged the lines on my left hand when I came off a bike going downhill and skidded along the rough concrete (both palms we're bleeding heavily where I tried to stop myself)

All I can think of, they are not cool in the least and they bloody hurt some of them.

I always like scars my self, depending on the type. It lets you know a person has lived and has some sort of story to there life.

I once got in a fight with my horse and lost. She bit me, picked me up and throw me quit a long distance, she got me right down to the bone. Got another one on my back, boring story behind that one but it looks like a bullet wound.

Are scars cool?
