Hey MediumDrinkOfWater!

1. Did you ever get a tattoo to conceal your scars?

2. If you could do it again, what tattoo shape/designs would you get to best conceal the scars?

3. Do you regret doing scar removal surgery?

4. The pin sites- they are depressed/sunken in, right? Can they ever truly be hidden?

1.  Yes.

2.  It doesn't matter, as long as linework as opposed to shading covers the scar.  Try to hide the scars in a line.

3.  No way.

4.  Some get that way, some don't.  A doctor can fix that before a tattoo is applied though.

I read earlier you were going to do femurs, why did you not get the femur surgery done? Are you planning it for the future to correct your tibia/femur ratio?

Money, and also my legs are quite long as they are.

Like freakishly long? What is your inseam?

If this is your true (no pants) inseam, standing 178cm, you're almost short legged telling the truth

What kind of doctor, surgery, and costs are related to removing the depressed/sunken scars of where the pins are?

A plastic surgeon can do that for you.  You can either get the scars cut out (and therefore replaced with thnner, flatter, lighter ones) or get the sunken areas filled in with fat or a synthetic filler.  Costs will vary quite a lot.

If you were to do internals, do you think it is important to be as flexible and thin/low bodyweight as possible before starting? I imagine thicker legs = more pain to lengthen them?
