I'm going to get peace tattooed on one arm and hope tattooed on the other, hopefully with flowers.

I like the comedy/tragedy masks idea. Also a yin yang like Venus suggested. I think anything to show opposite extremes would be good.

First I made sure my artist was already experienced in covering scars. And even though I already knew him, I was so embarrassed to show him mine and tell him about it. The scar was a type of keloid and raised mostly because I messed with it a lot. I kept reopening it in hopes it would heal flat. All I did was mess it up more. But with the right blending and color it came out perfect. It goes down the whole length of the key. I did go back for a touch up about a montht later.
