Chances are, there is something on your body that you wish you could change or hide. As much as we wish we could embrace all of our flaws, sometimes, it’s hard not to focus on them.
For people with scars and birthmarks, you might want to consider getting a tattoo to cover them up. Or, use the tattoo to enhance the “blemish”. These people did just that.
Here are 13 people that covered up their birthmarks and scars with tattoos and the artist completely nailed it.
These are beautiful.

1) Tattoo Supernova
Here’s a great tattoo helping to make this mole appear less intimidating. I only hope this person has had that mole checked out. Otherwise, it is a nice piece of artwork. I think the stars also help pull the whole piece together.
2) Laying Down a Bead
Here’s a neat little tattoo that makes this person’s scar look like the bead a welder would leave behind when welding. It is very well done as the artist also incorporated the light from the arc welder, giving it a blue tinge, which can also be seen in the visor.
3) Tied Up With a Bow
This beautiful tattoo turns this scar into a beautiful lace ribbon. Hopefully, the tattoo can give this woman more confidence going forward in life. We should all strive to accept everybody regardless of their scars, and for those who don’t, we at least have these beautiful tattoos to cover them up.
4) Stitches
The best way to take care of a cut is to sew it up, which is what this person was trying to get at with this apt tattoo. It doesn’t quite look like the sewer is quite done though. Is this an indication on the part of the scar bearer that there is still work to be done in life?
5) Run Forrest, Run
Here’s a tattoo that incorporates a scar on someone’s side. The tattoo is of the classic Forrest Gump, as played by Tom Hanks, and his signature run across the country from the classic movie.
6) Match and Flame
Here is another tattoo that turns a skin condition into a work of art. This skin rash looks like smoke coming off of this match. It just goes to show that many bad situations in life can be made better by injecting a little humor.
7) Magical
Here is a magical tattoo, so beautiful and delicate looking. Granted though, I am still trying to determine what exactly it is. It looks like a cross between a mushroom and a jellyfish. It is still pretty, regardless of what it is.
8) Fishing by Moonlight
What a clever way to turn a scar into something beautiful. This kind of looks like the DreamWorks logo, which was created as a way to remind others of Hollywood’s golden age by director Steven Spielberg and tattoo artist Robert Hunt.
9) Help Me Zip Up
This person turned their surgery scar into a zipper. At least they took their scar in stride and decided to approach it with a little humor. Now, all she needs is someone to help her zip up.
10) Ryobi
What better way to show a thick scar above your kneecap than with a saw blade ripping through your leg? This person also seems to prefer Ryobi saws over other brands. It looks almost real. So, good job on the part of the tattoo artist.
11) Wildflowers
What an interesting and creative way for this person to showcase the scars on their leg. These tattoos seem to go perfectly with the scars, so delicate and light. They look almost like wildflowers.
12) Back and Sleeve
Wow, I’m just amazed at the ability of some of these tattoo artists. Here is a person who got a large tattoo on his back and a partial sleeve to cover up a massive section of scar tissue. He doesn’t even look like the same person, which goes to show the skill of the tattoo artist.
13) The Ghost of Me
Here is another clever tattoo idea, this time in conjunction with a birthmark. As a matter of fact, this birthmark does look kind of like a ghost, which makes it even more hilarious to tattoo eyes, a mouth, and the word Boo above it that much more hilarious.
