This is a Padlet board built by an illustration student from London Collage of Communication who is doing research about visible body marks.

All kinds of experiences are welcomed, whether it's about happiness, trauma, or incidental.

(*Relevant pictures or links are also welcomed and before you upload any pictures/photos, please make sure you are happy to allow me using/editing them.)

This is an open Padlet page where everyone can add new posts or comments so please be polite and respectful to each other:)

The outcome of this project would be an interactive website page, once I got it finished, I would post the link onto this Padlet page. You can also contact me for deleting things if you're not happy with it.

My contact email: z.cheng0320211@arts.ac.uk

I have a birthmark on my left arm, it gradually get faded as I am getting older. I don't feel anything special except people sometimes would ask me if I hit something on myself because it looks like bruise.

I have a mole on my hip that was quite big when I was born but has grown smaller throughout the years. I used to hide it when I went to the beach, as I was feeling really ashamed about it. However now I’ve grown to love it realising this is what makes me different than everyone else. Even in the smallest way possible :)

I have a birthmark near my breastbone it’s in a flat and round shape(almost like a worm shape but has sharper ends), because it is hidden under my clothes so I didn’t experienced anything in particular from the others. But I heard a interesting saying that I forgot where it was originated, basically it says that your birthmark represents the reason of your death from your previous life, I was then wondering every time if I got stabbed by someone in my previous life😂

I have a very close friend👀. Actually, I didn’t realize that there were obvious moles on her skin until the day when we added each other to the Nintendo friend list and I saw her head portrait of a “👩🏻” hair with a “😐” face with a mole under one of her eyes. I can’t help but laugh for a long time since it represents her so well. She also uses “痣多星” which basically means a spirit has a lot of mole for her social media name for a while 🤭

I have a mole right next to my nose. Its considerably sized, and I didnt think of it much until i was around 12 and someone said I had a big (acne) spot on my face, and it wasnt it was just a mole. I started getting really insecure of it and growing up I looked towards being an adult and getting it removed. However as time went by I realised that I was so used to it, and as I learned to embrace myself I embraced it too. Now I cant really imagine getting rid of it, it actually kind of makes me scared as im scared i would look too different without it

i have a few birthmarks around my body. i have a patch of lighter skin on my right forearm. me and my family would joke about it a lot when i was younger but now it’s not something i notice as much. i also have some beauty marks on the lower corner of my eyes. i like them cos they remind me of the character ‘tomie’ but they aren’t symmetrical.
