Or other permanent body things.
I don’t regret it, but some people say I should. A full-width back tattoo of the US Confederacy leadership. The last place I lived in the US was Georgia, very close to Stone Mountain. I spent nearly every weekebd there: running, hiking, fishing, or just enjoying the sun with a book. So, when I decided to leave the US, I wanted to take my best memory with me and got the Stone Mountain carving on my back.
You have signed away your doggy rights.

All my tattoos, they are cheap and one contains my kid’s deadname so I keep it covered is much as possible.
Stretch marks…

I regret some of my scars from cutting myself. Have to make up shit about them when my kids ask…
I mean, I would prefer to not have needed to get a heart transplant and the accompanying scars, but it was due to a genetic defect so I don’t know that “regret” can play into something I had not control over.
I had a piercing that turned into a scar. Got a stud put in at a music festival, and that’s how I learned I’m allergic to low-purity silver alloys. After taking the anchor-y part off the back, I had to fish the stud out of my swollen earlobe with needle-nose pliers.
I almost lost a fingertip a couple of years back when someone I worked with fucked up.
That’s the only one I’m slightly miffed about.
I have enough sensation, and the scarring has improved with time
My tattoos are old and wonky, but they’re a marker of my life. They are with me to remind me of where I am, and where I have been
I’ve removed all the piercings apart from the PA, and that’s not closing up without surgery. I’m actually really fond of it. I’ve had it for a couple of decades now, and I think it’s pretty impressive
Most importantly, my woman likes it!
I have 2 significant scars I’m not happy about, but only one is my fault. The first is a big ugly scar from when I had appendicitis as a kid. They told me it would be small and go away, but 40-odd years later it’s still there.
The one that’s my fault is on my right kneecap. I was jumping on my parents’ bed and they had this big sturdy cedar chest at the foot. I lost my balance and came down real hard on my right kneecap. It hurt so bad I passed out briefly from the pain. I couldn’t put any weight on it for an hour and couldn’t walk on it the rest of the day. The scar is small, but it is a reminder of my own stupidity cause it wasn’t like I hadn’t been warned that jumping on the bed was dangerous.
You’re far from the only kid to learn that lesson the hard way. Not that that makes it better but at least you have company
No doubt.
Well scar sure. With I didn’t need those stitches in my leg. Zero out of 10. Would not recommend. I mean, do people gather scars for fun, like tattoos?
Some people definitely do, but many also got scars from things that while they might not be thrilled about the scar or hospital visit, they are happy with what they did.
Like saving a class of kindergartens from a burning bus on the high way and getting a big scar on their face. I don’t necessarily think that person would like the scar, but they wouldn’t necessarily regret saving the children ether.
I see.
I’m not a violent person, but I have gone down on a road bike many times and one of the common injuries to skinned up knuckles. I have some deep scars as a result. It would be easy to assume they were the result of violence. My size and build also supports this assumption. I am entirely the opposite type of person.
My hands look awful, but any scars are literally from my crappy skin cracking horribly from 3 years of food service hand washing. Frequent handwashing is brutal if you have bad skin…
Were you a cook? I did 8 years front of house and my hand never got to that point, even with a 2nd job working in a dirty warehouse
Worse, grocery store deli / hot food counter. Frequent switching between ready to eat food and raw ingredients, and shitty gloves that constantly ripped open.
I regret my snake bites, only because I want a slightly different piercing in the same place instead lol
Having jewellery in your mouth gets annoying when you can’t stop unconsciously messing with it. I’ve swallowed so many of them at this point…
I regret my snake bites
Oddly I was bit by an actual rattlesnake, and I do not regret that. While I almost died from it, it is a unique experience that gave me a different perspective on my life, and nature. The hospital bill, yeah that is a regret.
I have bad teeth. There was no expectation that men have to do anything to look good growing up, so I never worried about it, and my parents never made me. Now I just can’t even begin to afford it.
Luckily no. Have earings, never regretted them. Have a tattoo I drew myself that came to me in a dream, which seemed pretty timeless, at least to me. Still happy with it and of where it is.
Thought of getting more tattoos, but glad I never did. Never could come up with another design I would be 100% content with, or that I was certain that I would never outgrow. I had friends and ex-partners that got tattoos on a whim or impulsively, getting a tattoo can be fairly cheap, getting a tattoo removed can easily be thousands of dollars. And that is assuming there is no scarring.
I had to think a lot to remember then I saw someone mention their knee and I remembered I have have a scar on my own knee that is product of my own stupidity.
I forget it exists for the most part, but if I had a chance I would absolutely avoid going through it. I fell off a skateboard and got a deep gush on my knee. It was stupid because I’ve never been much into skateboarding. I was just trying to pick it up hoping to “be cool” and impress someone. Stupid shit like that you know.
For reference, I got a full back tattoo when I was 17, but the only thing I regret is having to get a few bad teeth pulled due to not taking care of them in my twenties.
Take care of your teeth kids. They don’t come back.
