As much as possible i try to wear long sleeves, but i live in a hot climate (Australia) and in the summer months i'd draw more attention to myself by covering up than i would by exposing myself. So as a result, i still wear shorts and bathers and short sleeves but i normally keep my arms folded (which covers most of my arm scars) and am just generally careful about my actions and who will see them.

I usually tend to cut the tops of my legs, that way nobody sees my cuts/scars even when i am wearing shorts
