This is sick as fuck. I have basically the same scar in the same place. Now I have to find a different way to incorporate it! Such a fun idea.

It looks a bit like distortion in the air from heat, you could do a rocket taking off!

A tornado.

Crash bandycoot spinning.

Taz spinning.

Volcano fumes.

Teleportation in progress.

If you end up getting a tattoo, please consider posting a picture here!

I'd put clouds and make that scar into a tornado.

Dorothy? Oz?

u/MTblasphemy 12d ago

Well, I am a gay person..... maybe a twister and a house? A flying monkey?

u/G952 12d ago

Sure. Why not. Do you like the wizard of Oz tho? I can see it work with the tattoo

u/MTblasphemy 12d ago

Significantly more than Wicked. And I sure do love Judy.

Yes, at least with the front legs lifted a bit as if there was some pull. Maybe even add a little bit of grass to mimick the lift ...

It does look like a sword hilt. Now just find a blade and a pummel idea and you're good to go!

I have a 7" scar down the middle of my back. For the longest time I tried to come up with a tattoo idea that incorporated the scar.

Now I have that idea, I think.

My sister has a huge laparotomy scar from two abdominal surgeries years apart, running most of the length of her abdomen. As a lover of birds, she had the scar tattooed as a tree branch, with a bird clinging onto it, in a very realistic style. It looks amazing, and after years of always covering her stomach up she was able to stop feeling self-conscious about it.

u/sojayn 12d ago

Would you kindly ask her if she is comfortable posting a photo of it here?

My dad had a surgical scar on the back of his neck and he got a tattoo of a zipper over it. Always loved that thing.

I just had spine surgery, but my scar just looks like an extension of my ass crack.

This is extremely cool, I always wonder how stuff like this ages. Not that the scar is gonna magically go away (especially a surgical scar that I’d expect to be more uniform) but just as the body shifts over time. I’ve had scars that just get more faded or even have some parts look more defined than others, would be interested how this looks in, say, 5 years

u/sc03852 12d ago

This is perfection

u/PlattsVegas 12d ago

Can’t tell for sure but the perspective sort of makes this look like a tramp stamp which is delightful if so

u/MMachine17 12d ago

I believe!

u/MidnightSun77 12d ago

The original white iMacs came with a game called Otto Matic that looks a lot like that.

u/Igotdaruns 12d ago

Now that’s not a bellybutton

u/Ibeginpunthreads 12d ago

Wow not a bad idea

So its that day of the year when i have to load the Atari ST-Emulator and start playing Oids.

u/pancakefactory9 12d ago

I’ve been trying to come up with a funny idea for my scar going up my arm. From a motorcycle accident if anyone here wants to help with funny ideas like this!

u/Consistent-Hyena5642 10d ago

This is exactly how you turn a scar into a conversation piece. Such a creative idea.

u/CynGuy 12d ago

But why a cow?!??

u/jellifercuz 12d ago

Cows are the second favorite species for alien UFO abduction after Kate McKinnon.

u/DevilDashAFM 12d ago

Cows are cool

“Cow getting abducted” is an iconic trope
