Good idea, but pantyhose would be too noticeable and weird for this cosplay. I mean, this is Nudist Beach. I think some decent concealer would be best, given that she set it so it wouldn't smear all over her.

Concealer isn't going to help that much if the scars are just raised. In the original picture, they aren't discolored as much as they're raised. That's why really sheer, flesh toned pantyhose would be better for coverage.

>> No.7968596

I have them on my upper thighs and either deal with panyhose (I'm olive skinned so I match dance ones pretty well even if they are obvious in some cosumes) or accept that they'll be on show and use a mix of fake tan + concealer to hide them.
>>7968230
Removing a scar, esp if it's keloid like some self harm scars are, costs a lot and if she's just wanting it for cosplay then it's not worth paying almost $1.5k for lasertreatment or whatever.

I know that it is probably too late for this advice but always make sure to clean your cuts with soap and water and put polysporin on them to help them heal.
Bio-Oil really helps minimize scarring as well but you have to remember to put it on at least daily to help.
There are also scar strips that you can leave on for some time (but they tend to be expensive from what I know).

I would give dermablend a try.
I know Kat von D. had a tattoo cover up but I don't know how this would work with scars but might be worth a try.

I do find it funny and am not surprised at all that some fag who cuts also wants to wear skimpy outfits. How about this. Stop being such a tool and caring so much about dumb little shit like scars or being a whore.

I work with animals and have tons of scars from them like on my chest, torso, arms. I typically apply foundation on them when cosplaying, almost the same with my face, primer first, a liquid foundation with strong coverage but the palest hue, then powder foundation to set. Friends all assume I have perfect skin but it's far from the truth.

On a side note I don't mind /b obviously I am on the chins. But as for tumblr it breeds SJW's and not the tolerable kind.

Get the fuck over yourselves. Just because it might hurt some random fucks feelings to say that is a normal reaction, it doesn't make it not true. I don't care if you wanna go be a fag, do your thing, go be a fag. Just don't shove it in my face and try to force me to talk differently cause of how you believe or how you think of things.

This, anything that can work well enough to hide tattoos will definitely hide scars. That said, I wouldn't worry about people asking about scars; anyone who does that is just straight up rude.

If your scars are on your legs, start waxing your legs regularly. Chemical peels, needling and other mechanical exfoliants also help to resurface your skin.

Waxing is what I've used and my scars are barely noticeable now after about a year. It takes time, but works.

Concealer won't cover up raised scars, and most cutting scars are raised. You're best to cover them up with sheer stockings as other people have said. Or just put off your cosplay until you can get the area treated.

Hell... if people say anything. Tell them a tiger, or if your in the South, a mountain lion attacked you.

I've got scars. I've got a bunch. Not too deep... except a couple where I fucked up. Then again... my scars are from a very real mental disorder. The reasons for some but not all being that through the sacrifice of blood I atoned for my terrible misdeeds. Of course, spiritually speaking, my blood is worthless! And I never did anything related to a terrible misdeed. I've also got scars all over every part of my body because of an immune disorder. Staph scars...

So I'm bonkers. I have hundreds of scars. I seriously wouldn't worry. Otherwise, if it matches your skin tone, Kat Von D's makeup works great. Does Benefit still make Shelaq? You could set it with that.

Don't do it.

Not because it won't look cool (it might!) but because people are going to ask you how you got them and unless you're prepared to lie every single time, you'll lose a great deal of their respect.

Self-harm for mental issues is understandable, self-harm for cosmetic/vanity reasons is completely beyond that. I imagine it's like what tattoos were back in the 40s/50s

True. Back when I was too dumb to get professional help, eveytime I wanted to cut I'd take a few hits. Worked wonders.
