A removal of imminent danger.
A cut through the epidermis and dermis, but not fat or muscle.
The beginning of a waiting period.
It’s three dissolvable stitches underneath and one long continuous stitch up top to be removed at a later date.
A scar tissue tattoo.
An erasure of family heritage.
It’s not comfortable.

Seems like the scars are also a part of the family heritage ;)
Oh, very good point!
You rock that scar tissue tattoo!
I will do my best! :)
