I live stealth and have for several years. My biggest issue now is being able to be shirtless without outing myself. Summers are challenging, always having to come up with some reason why I won’t go swimming (I’m not interested in wearing a swimming shirt, I know it’s an option). It seems some people are finally catching on to what chest scars mean, which is great for us finally getting visibility and people being educated. Not great for those of us trying to live under the radar.
edit: Also, not looking for “who cares what they think” answers. That’s not helpful and you clearly don’t understand this post if that’s your inclination.
I had double incision so it’s just two fat lines across my chest. Because of some genetic skin thing (my body creates scar tissue faster than it can break it down) they are even more visible than they should be.
I had surgery 6 years ago. I think I’m super healed by now. ;) I don’t think scar revision would help me. I have a genetic condition where my body creates scar tissue faster than it can break it down.
Haha yeah... I don’t think I want to claim any reason for why someone would have these scars.
A lot of people have mentioned chest tattoos. I have absolutely no interest in getting a full chest tattoo.
I appreciate the suggestion regardless! I’ve mostly settled for wearing a short sleeve button-up shirt that is halfway unbuttoned and then I don’t fully submerge.
Interesting. Mine are definitely like that. It’s like having long earthworks laying across my chest.

It’s not that I’m concerned with people asking. I can handle that. It’s that I don’t want people knowing at all. :-/
