I'm a bit of a collector myself.

Yippee! I knew this clumsy thing would pay off eventually!

food_eater		2010-11-03 01:42:50 PM

Lame.

Yup, then I'd roll her home like a good gentleman.

What is this? I don't even

I was trying to find a picture of Jack Nicholson as the Joker when he cut up his girlfriend as an "art project," but to no avail

Flakeloaf		2010-11-03 01:52:13 PM

Good to see that oil-thing only paralyzed Tasha Yar instead of killing her.

jadeblue		2010-11-03 01:52:18 PM

That is actually a cool idea. Nice find!

/has a lot of scars

theknuckler_33		2010-11-03 01:56:30 PM

Not amused.

GungFu		2010-11-03 01:58:03 PM

I don't get it.

If she had a tattoo of some food on her back, I'd get it.

KJUW89		2010-11-03 01:59:15 PM

I have a horseshoe shaped scar on my right bicep that (now) I think is kind of cool.

/has there been a Farktography contest for scars?

unfair		2010-11-03 02:01:34 PM

I thought this would be a scarification thread, the tattoo for the younger generation. Not some old surgery scar pictures

Alpha Sierra Foxtrot		2010-11-03 02:03:11 PM

I believe the first lady pictured has just a little bit more than a scar.

/not that it makes this any less cool

Woah. OBSCURE.

I was in an accident that left close to a pound of flesh missing from my butt-cheek.
Consider yourselves lucky that I lost hamburgerass.jpg a long time ago.

Wow... you didn't try very hard. It's on Wikipedia.

That said... yes, I have a cool scar. No, I wouldn't even begin to compare my pain and/or lack thereof to a paraplegic or a car wreck amputee.

And I'm not sure I'm entirely happy with myself for posting that picture in this context, as much as I love that movie.

Also, my scar turns sort of greyish blue when I work out. (It's usually pink.) I think I need to breathe differently.

So...he put paint paint on people's scars and called it art?

I'm in the wrong damn business...

jadeblue		2010-11-03 02:11:25 PM

FTFA: Says Wilkerson, "I certainly hope the students understand that the patient is not experiencing a disease in the same way that they are as the physician." If an art exhibit "allows them another window into the patient experience, that would be my goal."

I like it.

I saw a guy get paid over $10K just to dig a big hole in front of the Brooklyn Museum of Art.

I have been debating on whether or not to get a tattoo on my pacemaker scar. I have had 4 pacemaker surgeries and am only 25 so I know I will have many more to go. Why not embrace it?

I'm just guessing that you are merely getting more bloodflow to the area. My big scars do the same thing. Blood ain't red all the time.

One of the blue man group googled all over her back

But if you get a tattoo on the pacemaker scar and you have surgery again they might not line it up right and it would be all messed up.

I doodle all over you if you want.

Scart?

Shart?

I have a faint scar in the shape of a saguaro cactus on my cheek from the time my brother ran into my face with his bike. I always thought it was neat. You can't really see it anymore.

/time heals some scars?

Gairloch		2010-11-03 02:53:38 PM

So "art" means throwing some gaudy paint on it and taking a picture?

/not that scars couldn't be made into art, this just seems like art school drop out territory

Bill_Wick's_Friend		2010-11-03 03:00:37 PM

Dave: Oh yes. Well that's what happens when you cut really deeply into a whole lot of skin with a razor sharp knife. OK, well what do you say we, uh, we take that bandage off and have a look at how you're healing. OK? All right So we'll, uh, we'll do this on three, OK?. One! [rips of bandage, causing Mark great pain] Two...three...Um. OK, well, let's see here. Well, that's, that's healing very, very nicely, I'm pleased. OK, well I'm going to monitor this...

Mark: [examining his scar] Hey! What the hell is this?

Dave: Oh, that's the incisions from the operation. Remember, we were just talking about it.

Mark: It's a swastika.

Dave: Hmmm. You know, you're right, it does look just a little bit like a swastika.

Mark: It looks exactly like a swastika.

Dave: Yes, it looks exactly...is that a problem for you?

Mark: Yes, that's a problem for me, I've got a symbol of hate on my stomach!

It's a art subby, learn grammer.

I've got a mirror-image tattoo of my skin cancer scar on the opposite shoulder blade. These people owe me money for the idea.

Or not.

You ain't foolin' me. By being on Fark at all, the Cuervo people have already showed us they ain't afraid of a little scorn. Them biatches is payin' you to post that shiat!

The scar from my hip replacement surgery looks badass. If I had to rate all the scars on my body, that one would rate the highest.

I have a wicked melted plastic scar from when I was playing with fire at age 11 or so. And a short scar on my forehead from stitches at age 3-4. (coffee table) Neither are very artsy...

Everyone has that scar on his forehead. Look around the next time you're on the train. We all have one. Mine's from a brick fireplace. Not minimizing, but once you look around, it's kinda funny.

Oh yea? Mines from getting hit in the forehead when I was 6 with the barrel of a metal cap gun. So there.

See, I knew everyone was going for the forehead scars, so I dodged a few inches when the table came crashing down on my face.

Lip scars ftw. Forehead scars are for posers.
