    I don't know about "best" but I have a nasty burn scar on my left hand from my mom's screwed up oven. 2nd degree burn, it was nasty and I had no insurance at the time. I've thought about getting it tattooed over because it's really ugly, but if I ever do finish up my 4 year degree after the kids are older, I don't want hand tattoos holding me back :/ (I have tattoos on my wrists, but those are pretty easy to conceal, hands, not so much).

    I also have a scar on my left cheek from where I lost a fat with a cat when I was a toddler. FYI, they don't like it when you shove them in bags and then stick your head in.

    Bottom of my chin split open, playing drunken broomball. It's like hockey but with shoes on and you umm use a broom. Got tripped and chin met ice.

    Hernia surgery, 3 inch scar in my upper left groin area. Sorry no pics :laugh:

    Right middle finger from broken glass slicing my finger open.
    Same finger, shattered the finger tip playing softball, now my finger nail grows in a little crooked..not really visible but once I point it out it's a ohhh ahhhh moment.

    I've got 3 good scars.

    One on my knee from a bike accident when I kid, 5 stitches
    One on my thumb from an argument I lost with a meat slicer, 7 stitches
    One on my shin from falling through a set of stairs. You think that would have clue'd me in that I really need to lose the weight, but it took another 9 years after that to figure it out :)

    The biggest scar of all is the one on my heart from the love of my life who didn't want me 28 years ago..

    this is sad :(

    but, I have a scar on the side of my right knee I got as a little kid. I was carrying a root beer bottle (yes they used to be in glass and it was home-made root beer too), anyways, it exploded and a piece of glass flew into leg. No stitches that I remember.

    Or there was the time I was maneuvering along the edge of our boat and I didn't see the pike pole, cause I checking for my hand holds and I stabbed my foot into the pike pole (used for handling logs in the water).

    I have one one going across my nose. I was jumping in the bed as a kid and broke it on the head board. Still here after 25 years.

    I have a Harry Potter scar (lightning shaped on my forehead that goes into my hairline.)

    In football, not wearing a helmet, I dove for a fumble & hit a guy's shin.

    Mine are all equally beautiful and hurt just as much as the next one...

    Middle finger- Split in half looking for Rolley-polley's for my little sister proped a rock up and when I set it down my finger got stuck in-between it and another huge rock that was right up against it.

    Across the bottom of my foot- 4in, from stepping on a sprinkler head while running through the srinklers.

    Under my chin- (don't we all have one of those) slipping in a jaquzzi and smacking my chin on the side.

    Just under my thumb on the palm of my hand- Using a steak knife to split open turkey burgers that were stuck together (ya know, divided with the paper) well I got the burgers un stuck and a steak knife into the palm of my hand.

    oh to be young and stupid. this is like 2 weeks after we burned it (alcohol may have been involved haha) now they just look like one shade lighter then skin tone. when we hold hands the two curved sides go together and make a heart. probably getting it tatted over soonish to a real heart.

    I have so many, I'm really clumsy and I scar very easily even a superficial scratch like the one I just got on my tricep from drywall corner bead. Its like 6 inches long and didn't even bleed much but I scratched the surface of my skin so I'm sure I'll see the scar for many years to come. I have scars from puncture wounds, scrapes, burns, cuts, you name it. Oddly enough though, I've never broken a bone. Kudos to Mom for pushing milk, yogurt & cheese when I was a tot.

    Wavy line from ear to ear---

    Born with facial birth defects so when I was two, they cut me from ear to ear and pulled my face down They fused my skull where it needed fusing, put some screws in, and built an artificial little bridge in my nose. Pretty wicked pictures of the stitches. Now I have this *lovely* scar and an excuse to wear my hair down and gorgeous for every wedding I'm in. Ah, the 90's. Nowadays they could probably do it with MUCH less scarring.

    Starts about 3 inches distal of the elbow, runs over the lateral epicondyle and kind of makes a curve and ends about 1.5 inches proximal of the elbow, from an open repair of the lateral colateral ligament and the common extensor tendon. If you feel carefully you can feel the pin holding the common extensor tendon in place, just distal the lateral epicondyle at the origin of the tendon.

    oh my gosh... this thread has me cringing with every new post I read!

    Other than surgery scars, I only have a couple, and nothing with a very interesting story.

    Hooked my thigh on some barbed wire in a field when I was about 12, got a 1" scar from that...

    Fell doing calisthenics in high school (jumping with both feet onto a bench and off again), the edge of the bench scraped the cartilege that covers my shin bone, basically it bunched it up in one spot, so I have a hollow on my shin with a bumpy spot above it.

    That's about it for noticeable scars.
