If I catch you staring at my scars, prepare for me to ask you why
Stepping onto the tube , I took a seat and opened my book to while away my journey. Yet within minutes, I felt a set of eyes boring into me. Looking up, the woman on the opposite seat was gawping. It could have been because of the fabulous new shirt I was wearing or because she thought I was devastatingly handsome. But, after a lifetime of similar stares, I think I knew the reason. The large scar on the left hand side of my face. But instead of putting my head back down, or trying to ignore it, I faced her head-on. ‘Would you like to know what happened?’ I asked. Immediately, her face turned red and I almost felt bad for embarrassing her. Almost. I was born with a rare birthmark on my face, called a congenital melanocytic nevus, which covered most of my left cheek.

‘I’m a human pin cushion – people gawp at my face piercings but I love them’
A body modification fanatic who describes herself as a 'human pin cushion' admits she's constantly stared at in the street by strangers. Kyla Munoz, 20, has 15 piercings in her face.
