> I haven't tried it. I'm trying getting a tan at the moment. I know, I know, tans are so uncool. Trouble is that the only thing un cooler than a tan is just how bloody white I am. I'm so white I'm purple. I swear. It is helping, I think. Probably partly because my tan lines were drawing attention to that part of my body.

> I don't know how much tattoos cost... I did hear that they weren't so good at covering scars, though, which is why I was interested in scarification. Turning them into art / a feature. And something aesthetically pleasing (to me).Thought of something the other day and wondered if it was worth putting out there. One of my favorite bits in the movie "What the Bleep! do We Know?" is where the main character starts illustrating her own body with a biro (I think). Why not experiment with a henna tattoo or body paint with your scars and see what you can come up with? It would be temporary and you would get an idea of what it would feel like to illustrate yourself.
That's my random thought for the day. See ya.
