I love my scars... I have one picture now that a friend took of my arms. It's not the best quality, but still, it's my arms. And you can totally see the design. You can't really see how they were made, and you can't really see the missing skin too well, but you can tell what it is. I don't think you can mistake it for a tattoo. They're healing VERY fast. Much faster than my scar artist and I had expected, and I heal fast anyway. so this is very surprising.
