How to cover up SH scars?

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post (or even if I'm allowed to post this at all). I have scars on my wrist and I feel kind of embarrassed about them especially when I see that someone has seen them and go a bit awkward.

The scars are over a year old, would a tattoo be the best thing to cover it up?

A tattoo is one way to do it. If you don't want to get one done, you could use temporary tattoos, doodle on yourself with colorful pens (be aware that when you sweat the ink will stain clothing though!), or use clothing or accessories to cover the marks up. Like bracelets, a watch with a heavy wristband, or long sleeved shirts.

@integrityblues I was trying to use a hair bobble or watch to hide it but then I'd get the days where I'd forget and realise when I have bare arms exposed and nothing to cover it with. I've also tried make up and it does mask it a bit but it's always a different shade to my arm so it makes it look worse

Oh, you could also use makeup that matches your skin tone to cover up the scar!

@integrityblues maybe I need to buy a different shade for my arm as I do for my face. Worth a try thank you
