What is your Scar?

[solidstatemind]

Hm. Scars? Got a lot of them. The highlights:

As a kid?

-1/2" triskelion shaped scar on left eyebrow from when my sister whacked me in the face with a garden hose.

-two 1/4" scars on right cheek from when I got hit in the face by the claw end of a hammer as a kid.

-scar on the bottom of my left foot from when I stepped on the blade of a crowbar and ripped my foot open heel to toe.

-small scars on my lower back where I got shot with a rocksalt shotgun round for trespassing (maybe non-fatal, but man did that sting).

As a teen/adult?

-branching scar running from the first knuckle to the second knuckle on my right forefinger. I played American football up through High School, and in one game, I hit this kid on the helmet, which had a screw slightly undone, and he had sharpened the edge with a metal file.

-numerous small scars on my knuckles, both from hitting people as well as surgeries to remove bonechips from my knuckles.

-5" scar on my left hip from hip surgery from the injury that ended my playing days.

-14" scar running down from my left deltiod from where they had to insert a rod and plates to repair the humerus that I shattered snowboarding.

-2.5" scar on my right pectoral muscle from when a psycho girlfriend stabbed me upon learning that she had just earned the distinction of the 'ex-' prefix.

Like I said, I got a lot of scars. I love them-- they are your history written in collagen upon the canvas of your skin.

I have lots and lots of scars. Most of which are from my cat I own now. I still love him.

Likewise, but I don't like my cat very much after all the scars she's left me.

I've got a pretty good 3 inch scar from her on my forearm, and another 1 inch one on my left hand.

Where the oldschool Croatian doctors cut open my arm to fix them bones. Now I have a beasty scar there ^^

 

[Wrann]

I have one on the right side of my forehead from when I was about 4 I ran into a wall at the corner cut my forehead all the way across. Still with it was a full all the way a cross scar that would look way cooler.

I also have a small one near my eye from when I was playing a game of warhammer 40k a guy was flicking an apocalypse flame template at people and from half way across the board it snapped while he was flicking it in my direction. Nailed me good right under my eyebrow less than in inch from my eye.

I have a huge scar on my elbow from jumping off the pegs of my friends bike while going uphill. Not one of my shining moments but I have a pretty badass left elbow now.

 

[Kris015]

Have a scar on my upper arm (overarm?.. whatever I'm tired), from when i burned my arm and the skin came off. That was about a year ago.

A scar on my back from surgery.. or.. well I had a birthmark removed.

-While running with my dog, I ran into a concrete plant pot. The pot dug into my leg...and my bone. I saw red and white.
-Once roller skated with pants that had a hole in them. I fell, and There was quite a bit of blood.
-Very, VERY faint one on my left hand. my brother asked me to carry a liquor bottle into the house after school. I was exhausted, and so I dropped it, and some glass cut my hand. I ran in the house screaming at my hand.
-Several tiny ones all over my body from picking scabs and mosquito bites.
-A few on my face from popping zits.
-A few other scars that I can't remember getting.

Cresent shaped scar on right side of my body from a nasty fall. It goes all the way down my ribs. Luckly I didn't break anything or puncture my lung. It's just something I've had for 10 years now.

 

[KuwaSanjuro]

Scar just above my eye obscured by my eyebrow where I whilst playing jumped from our couch and headbutted the edge of a radiator.
Two scars on the crown of my hair from where I fell through a glass patio door.
A scar on my knee, I don't know where from.
A scar on the heel of my right foot from where I accidentally stood on a pint glass.
Thankfully compared to some people I'm not that beat up, yay.

 

[MrShowerHead]

I have scars on both of my knees. They're from 3 different knee operations....None of them actually worked

Also, another operation scar on my right wrist.

 

[White_Hawk]

yep got one on my toe when i pushed a sliding mirror over it. damn that hurt.

 

[Zaverexus]

Most noticeable: top of my right forearm, about an inch long straight scar from one of my dogs who jumped on me after clipping her nails had left a little sharp point. This was... 7 or 8 years ago.
Also knuckle of my right thumb. Messed up vaulting a stone wall and (don't ask me how, I have no idea) tore some skin off, which was then torn again by my shoe (just don't ask)
Left elbow on the bone on the underside of my arm. I know that one was also parkour related, but I can't remember how anymore.

 

[Snotnarok]

I have a scar on my right eyebrow from running into a car, a scar on my right pointer finger from getting it impaled with a bike cog, a scar on my knee from a old crappy bed. I'm sure I have more I just don't remember.

Oh yeah a big scar on my back from a cyst being removed.

 

[olfelix]

Forehead ? Small dent from baseball bat to the head, accidental.

Right forearm ? hooked my arm on a nail sticking out of a door and ripped some skin (very strange looking).

Right forearm ? dog bites (not as bad as it seems, dog just freaked out).

Right hand between thumb and index ? strange bee sting.

Right foot ? burn mark (I used to like melting BIC pens with lighters over the toilet as a kid. would make swirly blue and white islands on the water, once hot plastic landed on my foot.)

First off, my both hands are covered in scars from a lifetime of carpentry and all kinds of handy work. Doesnt hurt, most of them arent too visible, and they are nice memories. Aah, the time I cut off the tip of my left ring finger with a one-handed axe. Good times.

Really, they are nice memories. Anyone who enjoys the same things I do will probably agree.


On to a bigger scar. When I was about 9, for some reason I was standing on the toilet seat. Then, magically, gravity decided to show up and I fell and hit my head on the sink, so now I have a scar running across. Mind you, it's completely covered up by hair, but still. Damn sinks.

EDIT: and oh yeah, an embarrasingly large number of cuts from playing the skipping-between-the-fingers-with-a-knife game. Whatever it's called.

EDIT EDIT: And then that scar beside my right eyebrow. No idea where that one came from.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: A large cut in my hand from sharpening my father's katana. If one wants to learn, one has to try. And making mistakes is a great way of learning. Just ask my hands.

I am without awesome scars because I have older siblings that went through the crazy accidents, so I never went through them myself. My older brother has a pretty cool one on his knee from getting it caught on a fence a while back(like when he was a kid, probably about decade ago) in a game of hide 'n seek.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

One on the back of my skull, one on my chin, one on my left elbow, and a small one on my bollocks (do not ask how that happened...)

 

[Scarecrow]

I still have a scar on my big tow from when it got cut on broken glass.

 

[DemonicVixen]

I have a scar on my leg which my mum done to me.

One night, I was about 8 or 9 at the time. I was lying watching TV on the floor downstairs. My mum came down, and without me noticing, put my hamster on my back. As soon as Hammy's claws tickled, I wriggled around laughing. Sadly I rolled straight onto my mum's VERY Sharp long toenail. Gashed a large chunk from my leg. Which she then took me upstairs, put the hamster away, and dared to pour SALT onto my bleeding wound. Jesus i'll never forget the pain.

I have probably the lamest scar ever. One of my friends was helping me draw something when we were kids, and I accidentally stabbed myself in the palm with a pencil. I remember my CCD teacher said that it looked like I had been crucified, but it was a lot less impressive than it sounds. All I have to show for it now is a tiny white mark on my right hand that's barely visible.
