Well, I'd say that tattoos have way more potential to be cool, but they also have more potential to be incredibly stupid. A scar is only stupid if you get it in a stupid way, and thats not all that bad. But someone could get a tattoo of the ICP guy. And that's just unspeakable.

With scars, you have a legitimate right to be all badass and dark and edgy and whatever (as long as there's truly badass and dark and edgy story to go with them, anyhow). [footnote]Please note that i speak about dark edginess in a semi-serious tone.[/footnote]

Tatoos, on the other hand... meh. Just meh. Most of them are just bland, and all that ink surely can't be good for health.

Both are massivley uncool, tattoos are for people who think they are tough and want to be tough. Scars arent worthy of being cool since something bad must have happened.

Both are monumentaly uncool, scars are better unless tattoos are for a dead friend or something.
I am terribly disappointed in you. Just terribly. You are entitled to your opinion on liking or not liking tattoos, but to lump everyone who does like them in to a group of well pretty much tools just isn't right. Some people, myself included just like tattoos. I have one nearly full sleeve now, one half sleeve, and... Well you get the picture.

I love tattoos on a woman. Well most of them, not really partial to the tramp stamp.

Depends on the scar or tattoo. A well-placed meaningful tattoo trumps all.

A cooler is a box that keeps things cool, Scars are damaged tissue and tattoos are... this isn't what you were looking for was it?

Well that depends. A good tattoo can be something that represents something (like the death of a loved one) or perhaps is something that is just plain awesome (such as getting lips tattooed on your ass), but at the same time tattoos can be terrible. But it also depends on the person, some people suit tattoos some don't.

Scars are good because they remind us of things that once happened. However that isn't necessarily a good thing. Not all scars are cool but they can still be important to us.

So my answer is tatts.

Like a lot of people have said already, the answer to this question depends entirely on context. People can get both tattoos and scars in meaningful or meaningless, cool or uncool ways. They can both be ugly.

I have a scar on my hand, right over the big muscle at the base of my thumb. First day of a new job and I cut myself open with a box cutter. Not my finest moment.

I would require a very special reason to get a tattoo.

Well, its what i was bought up to beleive by my dad, said dont use tattoos to make your body look any better, get muscles and sculpt yourself that way, which i am on my way to doing.

But i dont really see a anything wrong with a small one, as long as its tastefull and wont look like crud when they get older.

I'd definitely say scars. Tattoos, when you get old, look nasty. Scars just make ya look more weathered.

I don't think they're that cool. Tattoos generally give the appearance that you're trying to look macho, and scars are, well, just injuries.

A TATOO THAT LOOKS LIKE A SCAR THAT LOOKS LIKE A TATOO.
IT'S NOT CAPS LOCK MONDAY! THAT WAS TWO DAYS AGO!

I think scars are cooler since they tend to carry a story.

"yeah, I got this one falling down a hill and getting stabbed by a tree. Had to pull myself off the branch alone. And this one I got while going four-wheeling. That rock came down real hard on the roof."

What's the story behind a tattoo?

"I sat in a chair while someone jabbed ink into my skin."
I wondered who ran off with my caps lock key.

Scars show that you're clumsy or the kind of person that gets into trouble often. Tattoos make people seem unhappy about their status around friends. That's how I think it works. But then again, Scars can be accidents and tattoos could be for mementos, Ect.

But to me, A tattoo is a scar. It'll be with you forever and it'll look hideous in the end.
