Ideas for "Scars" theme

See if any of you can whip up a thematic design for a theoretical topic of "Scars" -- physical scars from injuries, surgeries or self-abuse, mental scars, and finally Jesus' scars and how they can heal the pain, but the scars can remain. Nothing too gruesome. You can come up with an analogy or just an image of some kind with the word "Scars" (using a cat-like scratch font). psd is very preferable -- 300dpi -- CMYK if possible.

I'll be using the design to produce a set of media for the creative class.

Thanks for your help!

Given that this is a class, it might be fun to use some classic horror film characters like good old Franky. This would let you play with some black/white images and some color effects. From a thematic perspective, dealing with ones inner monster could also tie into the whole scars thing.

I have a PSD version but I couldn't get it to upload.

Make sure it's lower case .psd. Looks good, Don!

Here's my submission... it's 8x10, 300 dpi, CMKY color. The hand is stock from sxc.hu... the rest I did in PS CS using some brushes and some creativity.

I do think Don's is better for an overall image though.

I don't know if you were talking to me, but there are no usage restrictions on the picture I used.

Pardon the paranoia, but I do agree with you.

There are no use restrictions for mine.

meant for the fire but formed for the King
sharp to the touch but soft to they soul
the crown that completed the mockery
the scars that removed the curse
