I remember reading one time that scars are tattoos with stories. My wife is proud of the one she got hiking a through canyon in Big Bend several years ago; doc said she should have gotten stitches but by the time we got back to “civilization” it had been over a week and not worth the bother.
Some people do ask about it from time to time, others just stare, it is on her shin just below the knee and obvious when she wears a skirt or dress and crosses her legs.
