This list by Bored Panda is full of beautiful, funny, and simply genius designs that ‘healed’ old body wounds and marks. And maybe a few mental bruises that came with them as well. So scroll down to check them out for yourself, upvote your favorites, you know how it goes.

So, Aurelie Came To Me To A Flower Tattoo On Her Wrist Before. Today She Came With A Particular Project About Her Scar

It’s something that she never really accepted, even if she got her scar when she was a little little kid. Some stuff goes with time, other don’t. So we talked about what she wanted to do with it, and she told me about a quote from a French song from Saez, with a word play about sewing silk (soie) and ourself (soi). It made me think of a similar wordplay that I love in a beautiful song from Dooz Kawa, and finally, the project draw itself to end as what you can see! I was very touched to be the one to work on this project. I love scar project tattooing, and I knew it was really hard for her to let someone work on it, but she’s definitely a very strong women and she was awesome!

Thanks To My Client For Coming In To Get This Floral Scar Distraction Piece

We went with something a little simplistic and instead of trying to hide the scars just tried to incorporate them into the design. The take away is that the blood we have spilled in sadness can water a beautiful garden of joy if you only allow room for growth. Let’s be thankful for this day of life.

Finished Up This Piece For Logan The Other Day! Thanks For Your Trust

Working with scarring is a specialty of mine – surgery, self-harm and accidents. I’m a strong believer in the transformative power of tattooing and this is just one of the many ways I can put it into action. It is a slow process and varies greatly person to person as minimizing skin damage and managing client’s pain is always key.
