Lovelyish

my birthmarks on my arm, its one of those “you’d barely notice it unless you point it out”, and i used to cover it up but it became something i couldnt keep up with doing. just be comfortable with it(;

yea ;( i feel really self conscious throughout elementary, and now i’m betterr.. ^^
still feel awkward when people talk about it ==”

got one on my pinky and i foregt it is there all the time unless i am under a black light. really you just have to except that it is a part of you and not care what others think

My older brother used to have a birthmark on his chin. During the winter, you couldn’t see it, but as soon as he got tan it showed up. He hated it. When we were in middle school he even asked me if I could cover it with makeup without people knowing he was wearing makeup. Of course I couldn’t, and he was thinking about buying a skin bleaching kit to bleach it away. My mom wouldn’t let him, so he suffered through it. And then one summer, it just didn’t show up. He was happy about it for a few years… but now he wishes it would come back. He said it was the only thing that made his face unique. l0l.

i have one on my inner thigh.

it’s just a white spot.

i don’t care about it, either.

@abh816@xanga - Haha, oh dear.

You should be proud of what you have, even if it is something like a birthmark. It’s uniquely you, so it must be special, no? :3

I have a penny-sized one on the inside of my right arm. When I was little I’d use it to cheat on telling my right from my left side. Haha. It used to bother me a lot, but I don’t notice so much really, it doesn’t bother me.

i have one above my left knee.  It’s a little smaller than a dime, and dark brown.  I used to be really self-consious, and try to cover it up, but it was impossible.
Now i forget I even have it. 

My sister has one just like it on her butt cheek.  Sometimes you can see it when she has a bikini on. lol  

Well, I have a “port wine stain” on the back of my neck, but barely anyone sees it coz my hair hides it pretty good. However, I don’t mind that it’s there…And furtermore it’s making me kinda special (after all only 1 in 1000 babies are born with one)

i have one in the middle of my upper thigh, and just like you, i’d wear shorts/skirt long enough that would hide it. that was my conservative rule.. it’s too short of the birthmark shows.

lol now i stopped caring, and kinda forgot that i even have one until someone points it out.

I think anything that makes you completely unique is beautiful.  I have a small birthmark on the inside of my thigh, one on my head under my hair, two crowns of hair, a chicken pox scar in my cleavage & no cuticle on the little finger of my right hand; I hear my partner tell people these facts sometimes, as though my differences are good things.  It makes me smile :]

I have a few birthmarks, but I never thought of hiding them. One is a freckle on my right eyelid [I think I'm pretty unique with this] and another is on the left side of my torso. That one is a really light but fairly expansive blotch of discoloration that is unnoticeable to the naked eye.

I need a girlie moment first: OMG THAT PUPPY IS SO CUTE!!! AWW!!

I have one on my leg that look like a thunder bolt, one on my right arm, & one on my stomach that looks like a big ink blot but they dont bother me even thought they’re a few shades darker than my skintone. I feel bad for some people who have them on their faces because they can be hard to cover. One woman on the Tyra show had on right over her eye & she said people often mistake it for a bruise.

@Delightful_lil_Sasha@xanga - Really? I didnt know that. I’ve seen pictures of those birthmarks but I didnt know how uncommon they are.

@Shinbi_Belldandy@xanga - Well, I looked it up after a friend noticed it when I was wearing pigtails (that’s like the only time it’s visible)

I have a few on my sides.

I like them a lot.

I’ve never had one, but my little brother used to have a bluish butt. 

Whoa..so many people have birthmarks. I thought it wasn’t something a majority of people had. >.<

I kind of like birth marks, actually. They’re unique, so they add personality toa person’s body.

I have one on my left thigh, and one on my lower back. Both are quite large (each is a bit bigger than a quarter).

@InTheThin@xanga - So did my brother. hahaha

Quite a few people I know have birthmarks, including myself. I’ve never seen it as something to be embarassed about. Except there was this one classmate in the 5th grade who had a large birthmark around his eye and he was made fun of for it a lot. Kinda actually wanted to feel bad for him, but he was a major ass.

I have a few.  I have a skin colored one on my thigh, it’s a small raised piece of skin that is a little rough to touch, and I have some red spots on the back of my neck mostly higher up into my hair.  I also have little moles all over.  None of them bother me and I really like the red spots on my neck, my grandmother had them and now my daughter has them.

I have a small birthmark about an inch below my right eye. Just smaller than an ear-phone piece (I don’t know what else to compare it to >_<) and it’s pretty noticable. It isn’t bothersome or anything so I never felt the need to hide it, nor did I feel like it made me really different. Just one day I looked at myself and I was like .. hey, I have a birthmark. No one really points it out, so it’s kind of been etched in my brain that no one really notices it. But when I point it out to other people, they talk about it as if it’s the first thing they ever noticed about me. IDK it’s weird. I also have a little red birthmark on my arm, about an inch big. It might be a port-wine stain, but idk, I just learned about those through reading the comments lol.

I’m really pale and I have a LOT.
I struggle all the time with about 5 of them…
I’ve always been self conscious and I hate it.

i have one on my thumb, but it only appears when i get a tan otherwise you can’t really see it, in fact i only realised it was a birthmark this year :L

I’ve got freckles, used to hate them because a person one time told me they were fly poop. Now I am told that they are angel kisses.

I have a mole that is in the same spot as marilyn monroes mole was and a crooked toe.

I have a large, pale mole/freckle on the bottom of a toe on my left foot. And I have two pencil-eraser sized dark freckle/moles on my left shoulder blade. Two freckles on my lips (one on the top, one of the edge of the bottom). Haha they’re not really noticeable so no, I don’t hide them

I love that Heart-kun puppy so much.

I have a freckle under my left eye, one on my waist, one on my left lower arm, and a bunch of scars from popping boils that I didn’t know were boils when I was younger. I try to hide the latter, since that was kind of (really) my fault, but the rest – they’re just freckles, I survive fine without hiding them.

Flaunt it if you got it!  I’m getting a big birthmark tattoo on my face.

i love mineee:)!

I have a birthmark on my thigh that’s shaped like a foot D:

How exactly are we supposed to judge whether you should be embarrassed by it… you left no pictures!!! In all seriousness though, I can understand your self-consciousness. 

Awwww, that puppy is sho cute =]
I have this birthmark on my upper left leg, its not that noticeable unless you see me naked LOL.
I have little (almost unnoticeable) birthmarks scattered across my body. A few on my back, one of my wrist, one on my index finger, and one on my right calf.

I have one dark brown birthmark on my left arm, about a thumb’s size, since my skin is pretty tan it’s not that noticeable, unless you’re really close. Have I ever hated it? Yes, do I hate it anymore? No, it’s just a part of my body, I always tell myself at least if someday I have accident and my relatives need to identify me they could.  

It would be bad if I was self conscious about my birth marks..I have about 500 of them. No, really. I have about 10 on my face, some on my neck, a few on my ears, 40 on each of my arms, a bunch on my stomach, about 10 on each leg, I probably have some on my back I’ve never noticed…I don’t really even think about them much unless someone points them out. They’re all pretty tiny, except for one on my neck and one on my thigh. 

I have a birthmark on my right arm and it looks like an upside down foot. Like one of those finger paintings of foot where you use the side of a fist to make the sole and finger tips to make the toes. It’s not like huge, it’s about the size of a penny. It doesn’t really bother me and no one really teased me about it. Though, I am the only one in the family that has a birthmark overall which is a tad odd to me. Shrugs :3

I have a bunch.  I used to be bothered by them, but now I could care less.

@spidergrass@xanga - that sounds like my birth marks, but some of mine faded after I had my son.  It was odd, I thought I would be happy, but I kind of miss them.  I grew up with them.

I do – I have a port-wine stain colored birthmark on my left hand in the shape of florida. It’s a fairly small version of the state, but it’s there and I don’t really like it. I’ll never be able to be a hand model. “( But seriously, everyone always thinks it’s a dash of marker on my hand and people always think I’m lying when I say that it’s not, but whatever…it makes me unique… And having a perfect map of the gator state *even though I’m on the polar end of the spectrum* can become handy…I think. lol

i have coffee-mate colored skin. I’m hispanic, Costa Rican to be exact, and we tend to have a surplus of birthmarks. i have atleast five sand-grain sized lightbrown to dark chocolate colored birthmarks.

I have one on the tip of my nose.
Its annoying, and most pf the time I wish it wasnt there.
But my friends and family still love me, and thats all that matters isnt it?

Also have one slightly bigger about a centimeter from the right side corner of my lip, on the very lining of my lip,between my nose and right corner of my lip.

No birthmarks for me… my sister has one, though. She’s not bothered by it.

I have one on my shoulder. It looks like a bruise, kinda bluish, but it never bothered me. To irritate me, my brother would sometimes press against it and ask, “Does it hurt?” Well yeah, now you`re basically pinching me.
I think acne is worse. Some people phase out of it; some people struggle with it through their thirties. They hurt, they grow in new places, they look bad, and they are noticible, since it`s on the face, chest, back, and sometimes even the upper arms.

i have a birthmark on the back of my left thigh. like at the spot where the thigh meets the butt. i used to be embarrassed when i’d go swimming, but i don’t care anymore. haha

I love my birthmark because, since it’s on my mid-calf, I can easily cover it up or show it off, whichever I feel like. It’s light brown and shaped like a leaf, and to be honest, I never dress with it in mind. Most of the time I forget it’s there.

i just have to say…that’s an ADORABLE doggy picture!

i have a LARGE one on the side of my leg. I would never want to wear shorts, bathing suits, capris.  It starts on my knee and down to my feet.  It looks like i was a burnt victim. the leg looks discolored so i look like a cow with dark and light skin color on the side of the leg.  I was SOOO self conscious, but now I am starting to learn to embrace it.  This is the first year i wore shorts to school and to places. i get stares, but no one really said anything or treat me different..

i have one on my hip. when people saw it, they thought it was a scar from a tattoo XD
you shouldnt feel self conscious about your birth mark.
no one is gonna laugh at you because they should understand. i mean like, if you saw someone have one, you wouldnt laugh at them because you understand what it is..and laughing about it has no benefits

i have a birth mark on the back of my right calf. it doesn’t bother me.
my best friends dad has the same birth mark. on the same leg.
and my best friend has the same birth mark as my older sister.

WEIRD.

i like my birth mark, always have and always will.

I have a quarter sized round birthmark on my right hip and I like it being there.  Any man I have dated finds it sexy and so does the hubby I have now.

… I was never self-conscious of my birthmarks… they’re me. a lot of people point out the one on my arm and ask about it, thinking it’s a bruise or something, I just tell ‘em it’s my birthmark. it hasn’t inhibited me from anything thus far, and I don’t think it ever will.

I have two birthmarks side by side that together are about 3/4 inch tall and 1 inch wide on my forearm and a very small one on my lower back. They are dark tan in color. In general I’m a very self conscious person but, I’ve never felt uncomfortable sporting my birthmarks. Never attempted to cover or hide them. My daughter has one darker birthmark (on her lower back. 1/4 inch tall and 1.5 inches long) and 2 white colored birthmarks (one on her thigh and one on her shoulder. Both smaller than a dime) and there is no reason for her to be embarrassed of them. My son has a very large mongolian spot (blueish-grey) that is square in shape and goes from his spine over to his arm on his upper back. It even extends down the backside of his arm. It is so prodominate that my doc had to make note of it in his medical chart so no physicians in the future think its a severe bruise and call CPS! I hope that simply being a boy will make him less likely to be uncomfortable with having it exposed. He also has a tan colored birthmark about the size of a nickle on his thigh that is the EXACT shape of one of my forearm birthmakrs. I find birthmarks interesting and clever really.

they’re more like moles… or black dots here and there.. and i dont hide them

I have a birthmark that looks like Texas on my thigh, there was no way of covering that one up unless I wore pants.  Pants year round in Georgia isn’t a good idea.  Haha  I don’t even think about my birthmark anymore, I think that it looks cool.  There isn’t anything bad about a birthmark, just be happy you don’t have one on your face.

I have a strawberry birthmark which is not supposed to last into adulthood (look it up on Wikipedia I’m too lazy to explain) that I’m not real fond of. It’s only an issue when I wear a bikini and I don’t wear really skimpy ones so it’s all good.  lol

I have several birthmarks but my biggest is tan coloured and shaped like an oval about 2 inches long and an inch wide on my right shoulderblade. It’s like a big light freckle so it’s never bothered me, I actually kind of like it.

Yeah, I have a jagged one on my thigh. I actually like my birthmark. I always point it out when I’m with my friends. It’s different and I like it.

I used to have one rather huuge one on my knee, I’ve seen them in Baby photo’s recently, but now, it’s not there, but there is a shadow of where it used to be, the skin is also not the same texture/colour maybe my parents had it lasered off, can it just fade?  I always thought that my knee was burnt in a fire for some odd reason, I was really suprised when I first saw the photo, it was a very large brown patch!

I’ve got an oblong dime on my right thigh. It’s pretty high up (by the bikini line!), so it’d only show if I was wearing a swimsuit – kind of like yours (birthmarks only visible when in swimwear/skivvies!).

I’ve learned to think of it as more of a “sensual intrigue” for guys than anything else. Weird logic, but this is something that they’d realise is hiding under all my normal clothes ….which leads to the thought process of what else is hiding under there.

So, odd allure.

I have one single on on my thigh. It isn’t huge but visible. Honestly I like it, it’s kind of unique. My leg would look weird without it.

Birthmarks can be pretty. They break up that boring plastic look that the modeling industry seems to love.

I have a few. To dark dots on my nose, a quarter sized dark ovalish one on my shoulder, and a few other miscellaneous freckles, not to mention a few oddly placed and shaped scars (not birthmarks, but still interesting).

i have a birthmark under my chest and its about 4 cm long and two cm wide . i have no reason to show it however. but i would feel embarrassed.

i have a birthmark on my left calf. it’s noticeable so i don’t like wearing shorts outside of the house.

I don’t have birthmarks but I do have freckles, and there’s always been one dark freckle on my thigh that I’ve always hated.  I refuse to wear shorts that don’t cover it up and I’m still pretty self conscious about it.

i have one on the left side of my forehead

its like pinkish and reddish.. doctors said it would go away by the time i grow up but it didntif i put my bangs up i try my best to cover it up with makeupbut yeai was really self conscious about it.. not as much nowbut when i had to put up my hair for band a few years back..some people would ask me “how did you get hurt”i would just play it off like “oh, i fell or someone hit me” or somethingbut when i tell them its my birthmark they freak out and say “omg im so so so sorry”i try not to think about it as much now

A lot of people don’t know this but Fantastic spray cleaner removes birthmarks. In fact, it removes just about any sort of mark.

I mean if its a problem hide it , but i like to think of it as beauty marks !

i have a birthmark, but it isn’t a patch, it looks dirty kind of birthmark. actually idk how to explain it but i do have it on my upper thigh. it’s not that obvious unless i point it out to someone.

I have a birthmark just below my left clavicle and another one on my upper left thigh that looks kind of like the island of Japan only flipped the other way and missing a bit of the bottom. I also have a Mongolian blue spot. (I looked up birthmarks on Wikipedia!) I know huh, a blue birthmark! It’s very unusual and I remember my mom telling me a story that people who have those, when they were babies in the womb, they were incredibly slow to get out (in delivery) so a spirit inside kicks the baby out and creates a bruise, and there you go! Blue birthmark! Haha. That’s just a story though. The real explanation behind how you get that birthmark is a lot more dull.

you think that’s bad? i have a large brown one the length of my pinky and the width of my toe, on the top of my thigh. when i wear a bathing suit it attracts attention to area i definitely dont want people staring at. but i cant cover it up since ive been on swimming for the past so many years, and have had to suffer through the embarrassment

I have a birthmark on the back of my neck and it seriously looks like a hickey. 

My boyfriend has a large brown birthmark on his right side right under the nipple and I see nothing wrong with it.

Just something to make him more unique.

One. That puppy is so cute! OMG! x]

Two. I have a heart shaped birth mark on my right arm. :] It’s my favorite of my birthmarks. I have 3 others: one on my inner leg, one on my stomach and one right under my armpit. I don’t hide my birthmarks. They aren’t that much darker than my skin color so they don’t bother me.
