    Default Can I be a stripper with cutting scars?

    So about two years ago I used to self harm. The cuts are all on my upper thighs and they've faded to a very light color. I do unfortunately have one angry red scar on my right thigh though.. I assume this would prevent me from being hired as a dancer, but other than that I am very confident with my body. I turned in an application today. Is it still possible?

    I don't see why not, although it seems like some clubs are super picky. Put some aloe and/or avacado oil on it to help it heal. Also try to heal yourself inside, you will be dealing w/a lot of a/holes so they may trigger you, Idk. SC's are tough environments to begin with anyway.
    Good luck & welcome!

    You can always use Derma blend to conceal the scars. Just don't rub all over your customers.

    And like whirlerz said, take care of yourself internally too.

    Would derma blend work on a keloid? It's the one on my right thigh that I was referring to

    It wouldn't hurt to try. You could also wear thigh highs/fishnets to cover it up. ^^
    Also, the club is dark and a lot does go unnoticed.

    I've seen much worse than scars. You'll be fine.

    i have some gnarly ones all over my left inner calf, luckily that's not a super noticeable spot but they are really obvious if you look and no one ever says anything.

    that salley hansen self-tanner spray covers them up really well too! it's like $12 at the drug store and you can barely see them anymore when i put that on. usually i don't even bother though.

    You won't be the first, you won't be the last. Red light hides a lot of things.

    I have a few scars. Sometimes customers ask about them. Get used to fielding those questions, I'd come up with a creative lie if possible. I have scars on my back and I tell customers that's where my wings got ripped out when I fell out of heaven.

    I think you'll be fine. Many dancers have scars for an assortment of reasons. I doubt anyone will notice it and if they do, you can easily come up with a lie...like you feel off a bike or whatever. My friend has a gnarly scar on her thigh because she jumped on her friends back and the friend had a pen in her pocket. If you are really self-conscious, you can wear stockings or a body suit.

    I have a scar from dropping an electronic razor on my stomach, it was fucked up.

    I found argan oil to be the best thing to help - this is after experimenting with tonnes of different stuff. It really made a visible difference for me, but I don't know much about keloid scars. Just thought I'd mention it in case it was something you could try (I was shocked how well it worked).

    Clubs are dark inside with very muted lighting, I'd imagine you'd be ok. Good luck and I hope it goes well for you xx

    Also, Bio oil and Mederma, there's even prescription scar cream.

    I have very obvious self harm scars, I get asked about them a lot, but rarely have they gotten in the way of me making money. In fact, on one occasion I even made money because of my scars. If a guy asks about them and he's older, or he asks in front of a group, I lie and say they were from a car accident. I think most of the time they don't believe me, but they don't care enough to press the issue and probably understand that it's uncomfortable to bring that up like that. If they are younger or they ask in a more private way I'll say something like I used to have a problem with depression, but I'm so much better now and haven't done it in years. Then I move the conversation to something more appropriate.

    Vitamin e oil! works best when fresh (but not open!!) some stupid dancer burned me on my cheek with a cigarette and the scar was completely gone by using vitamin e oil on it just for a few days. I used it on my belly during pregnancy and i'm convinced that's why i don't have stretch marks cause i was huge.

    oh yeah, and sally hansen. but the lotion, not the spray can cause it doesn't have glitter and covers even better. And a good story/excuse!!
