Top Ten Reasons Scars are Better Than Tattoos
1. Scars can never be misspelled.
2. If you have a scar on your face, you can get a job just about anywhere. If you have a tattoo on your face, you’d better be able to sing, box or cook hamburgers.
3. If you’re a woman and have a scar on your breast, you can garner sympathy as a cancer survivor. If you have a tattoo on your breast, face it, Toots, you’re a tramp.
4. If you’re a veteran and have a scar, people think you’re a war hero. If you’re a veteran and have a tattoo, you’re just another drunken sailor.
5. If you have a tattoo of Bambi on your butt, no story you dream up will make you seem cool. If you have a scar on your butt, even a little imagination can make you a legend.
6. Tattoos can fade and sag as you age. Scars just gain character.
7. Nobody is going to see your scar and say, “Ooh, did it hurt?” Even a simpleton can figure that one out.
8. No one will ever want to fight you because of how your scar looks. Whereas your “Rap Sucks!” tattoo could lead to some angry reactions from some unsavory dudes.
9. Tattoos speak for themselves. Scars always have better stories behind them.
10. Tattoos can be bought. Scars have to be earned.
Fun list.
Concerning #4. My veteran nephew has a large cross tatted on his arm. I think it’s pretty gutsy considering he was deployed to Iraq.
LOL
THanks for the laff.
I have a scar by my eye from my aunt’s dog biting when I got too close to her. Another scar right by my hairline from a bottle of Pledge that was left on a table, and I happened to be laying down right at the best spot for it to hit my head.
Another scar or two from a bike pedal impacting my shin.
Some people buy their scars ... but I know what you mean.
Years ago, I knew a woman who had several tattoos. One day she was talking about her newest one. She popped her boobs out and there were two flowers - one on each boob with the nipples being the center. That had to hurt.
