I've got a scar across my right eyebrow from tripping over my dog, and smacking my face on the corner of a stone step.
Well most of my scars have all healed alas - not working for two months tends to do that!
In my time though....
Ive taken the tips off a finger and a thumb - The thumb because I was stupid, the finger cause I was slicing fennel on a mandoline and was looking the other way. Had to throw out the salad I was making which sucked, my finger tip fell in!
Sliced the tops of all my fingers on my right hand - I was wiping down crab guts from my bench and my knife was facing me instead of the wall...you get the picture. The funniest part about that was it was in the middle of service so here I am with only one hand effectively, cooking on my section whilst the kitchen hand had to plate and run food!
Had my index finger crushed slightly - I say slightly because I got the feeling back three days later - by a pissed off mudcrab.
Have callouses on by knuckles and the palm of my right hand - although the later is all but gone - from shucking oysters
Multiple burns across my arms from delving into ovens - some of those are permenant!
And - I've mentioned this one in another thread - gave my wrist a partial thickness burn after splashing it with hot oil and salmon fat from a pan. People insisted that I go to hospital after that one but I told 'em "It's still service goddamit! Give me some ice water! Shit happens!"

I've got one on the top of my ear from being knocked against a concrete slab by a friend in reception, and one just under my chin (so you can't see it unless I look up) where I was getting out of a water slide when I wasn't much older, slipped and smacked it on the slide - had stitches for that one.
I have a scar under my my chin from were I fell off my bike as a kid and cracked it on a kerb. It sucks because nobody can see it and I can't show it off ¬¬
Also, I have a weird scar on my thumb from were I dropped a saw on it. That one's pretty impressive. Hurt like a bint though.

I would say that my most endearing scar is the one on my chest, just above my right nipple, where I had a Hickman port for chemotherapy. I ended up having to have the port removed due to numerous fatal infections arising because of it, leading to an excruciating procedure involving doctors effectively pulling it out over the course of a half hour, which was followed by two weeks of me having to shove sterile gauze into the wound to prevent it from closing up incorrectly. Other funness that came with that included doctors pressing down on the path left by the tubes of the port to remove disgusting fluids that built up in its absence, and an accusation from a doctor I've never spoken to prior that the associated staph infection was due to drug use.
A mostly-faded one on my chin. There's one under my hair somewhere. And I have one somewhere else too...
