man i'm still thinking abt a post some folks were poking fun at in a discord

& it was like. an argument over whether or not people wanting to shape surgical scars (in this case w top surgery scarring specifically) was reductive or like. bad ig yknow. bc it's scarring from surgery & so on and so forth

& like. in my personal opinion. do whatever you want forever and ever. i'm planning on getting a tattoo that uses my back surgery scar as a centerpiece (specifically i do not want the scar covered and the more the tattoo sort of emphasizes it the better)

like. scarring is going to be a byproduct of surgery, and surgery sucks. i don't see the issue with a patient going "yknow what would be cool. if i could have a scar that looks like a stylized lightning bolt" so that they can have something they enjoy out of the whole thing

(also please bear with me if some of the wording in this isn't the clearest, i just took cough syrup and it is. the heavy duty kind)

#thorn post #& this is also coming from my ass who still has a section of scarring where it itches & aches bc it got ropey during healing #it all comes down to personal preference i think. some people are gonna be cool w scarring some people aren't #that's just how it goes #but! these preferences can really only extend as far as your own skin. even if you do not share someone else's preference-#-& don't really understand it.#also as far as my tattoo idea goes i kinda wanna get uhhhhhh. fuck what are they called #circuit board lines. going down my back near my scar. less down at the bottom more up at the top. yknow
