I am currently:

I used to go to great lengths to cover all my scars. About two years ago, though, I decided the hell with it. I was scared to death, and it took a long time for me to get used to the questions, the comments, and the staring. I'm better about it now then I used to be (I even have a wonderful made-up story about how I got the scars that I say as sarcastically as possible on my bad days because it at least puts a smile on my face for a moment).
That said, if you're planning on running out there with minimal clothing on with all your scars showing at the same time, just make sure you understand that even if you feel like it's a way to show that you survived, not everyone is going to take it like that. Be prepared for all sorts of comments and looks. If you don't think you're prepared for that, there's no shame in covering them up until you are. There's no sense in putting yourself in a potentially triggering situation because people may say or do things that upset you.
Good luck, and be safe!
