What is your Scar?

[Torrasque]

Both elbows have at least 3 scars since I loved rollerblading and biking as a kid (still do) without pads
One scar on each hand between the knuckles of my thumb and first finger
- One on the right hand from a small digging probe that archeologists use, that I accidentally plunged into my hand while at Royal Tyrell Museum some... 8-9 years ago?
- One on my left hand, in about the same spot, from a sparkler ember that hit my hand and hurt like the dickens
Both knees have scars (less noticeable) from rollerblading/biking without pads
Hmm...
I think thats all.

Subtle small scars (you'd only notice them if you look closely/they're pointed out for you) underneath my eye ('bout two cm or so) from a fight which involved mail-boxes being used as melee/ranged weapons, and a nice huge one on my right knee from me tripping and having to sew together an open wound.

Nothing serious.

 

[8-Bit Grin]

I have a single scar on my head, the size of a pencil, from accidentally impaling myself with a nail.

 

[Vet2501]

I have a scar down the back of my left hand from one of my more fractious canine patients, I have one on my head after cracking my head open on a table when I was about 5 (my hair covers that one), and I have four small scars on the back of my right wrist from the surgery I had.

 

[Palademon]

Scar on finger from scissors.

Scar covering two thirds the circumference of my ankle, from a rope burn...a skipping rope burn.
It got caught around my leg at the end of a PE lesson last year, and some person (still don't know who) decided it would be nice to keep pulling if the rope is caught on something.
I cried afterwards, and had an infected burn leaking puss into my shoe for a few weeks. Had to walk around with my trouser leg rolled up and with a plastic bag in my shoe, and painfully replacing my bandage everyday.

I have 6 scars on my stomach from an operation. One looks like it could almost be a second belly button, the others look like someone stabbed me and then removed the knife the same way it went in. My shin has a "dent" in it from when I tripped on my cement back steps. I have another knife like scar on my left thumb from opening a bucket of salad at work (I work in a deli.) I was removing the tab on it to break the seal and it just didn't end the way I intended. I did it twice, same exact spot. Once it healed from the first time, I went and re-opened it. Another scar on my other thumb, same area, honestly can't remember what it's from. Small cut in my right ear where I got cut by airborne glass in the car accident I was in. My right calf has a scar just under the knee joint from where I walked into a cement planter when helping my friend move. I managed to walk almost perfectly around it with it going between my legs, not even realizing it was there until my right leg scrapped against it. That is about all that comes to mind.

when i think about some of my scars i h=get a little nervous, most of them are on my left hand fingers,

left thumb: scar running from tip tp base of nail, i almost shaved the side of it off when i slipped with a box cutter

left index: scar running on the side warping around about 3/4 the the finger, i was cuing something and looked up at a distraction and slipped (again) the bone was visible.

left middle: scar on the top running across the knuckle, i slammed it in a car door, the scar was from an open would i got when i right my finger out of the closed door in shock, but the real injury was the broken finger i got, i was a freshman in highs cool, now i'm a senior and you can still see a bulge and it's still very sensitive.

so yeah thats the order i got them in it seems i've done something progressively worse as i go down the line to the next finger. i ten years i may not have a pinky.

I have a prominent scar on my upper left arm about 1.5 inches long from a fight with my ex boyfriend. He chased me out of the house with a knife. Luckily police were already there and when he swiped at me a police woman pulled me away. Not quick enough to save me completely but if she hadn't I think I probably would have lost that arm : \

That was when I was 18 or so I think, don't think I have any from when I was a kid.

 

[Quesa]

When I was 2 I stuck my hand in the vacuum cleaner to get my sock out, the brushes tore the skin off the top of my middle finger on my right hand. Now I have a V that starts from either side of the first joint and meets halfway down the finger. I've always loved it.

 

[Kolosus]

When i was about 5 or 6 years old, i went swimming in the local sportspark. Unfortunately for me, on the way out, a HUGE automatical iron door closed just as i was about to exit. I thought i could be quick enough to quickly grab it open, but i underestimated the weight of the door, and it continued with my hand still holding it. My finger was crushed.
Luckely, through reconstructive surgery and some excellent doctors who acted quick and smart, i recovered most of my thumb, Now it only looks a bit odd, but it works, and it doesn't hinder me from playing console games at all

Apart from that:
when i was 10, i got a bone deep scar on my my index finger from when i was cutting wooden stick. The knife slipped... (i was a scout for 7 years)
When i was 6, i got 3 scars on my scalp from when i hit my head on a concrete floor with pointy rocks. All the holes needed 3 - 5 stitches
I also have a scar the size of 4 keyboard keys on my left elbow from when i fell on my bike

so tell me dear escapists... what are your scars, and how did you made them?

I got 3 scars on my head for busting them open on 3 separate occasions.

The first 2 were just being a stupid kid and jumping on the bed.

The 3rd was when I was rollerblading, I almost ran into another skater and swearved out of the way only to have my head fall on the curb....I GOTS DAIN BRAMAGE! GOOGLY MOOGLY!!

Finally I got a scar right below my knee for falling on a gate rail and slicing my leg open straight to the bone. Quite a viceral image what with flesh dangling from my leg. The entire front half was split horizontally open.

 

[katsumoto03]

I have seven scars on my knees from a fall I took down a rocky bank.

 

[ace_of_something]

More than one.

The two people most notice are NOT from when I was a child; I have a very large pink scar on my inner forearm and on the opposite side of my forearm. It's from when a hunting knife went all the way thru my arm. It's frustrating because a lot of people assume it's a suicide attempt scar.

It's one of the few ways people tell the difference between me and my twin brother.

I have lots of small little pale scars all over my hands from when I worked on power tool and diesel engine repair, reaching into a 'bobcat' to pull out an impeller tends to knick your hands.

scar on my polse (english word? the part seperating your arm from your hand)

Wrist?

DUDE!!! You're quite a soldier for putting up with that

Me personally I have 3 scars on my head for busting them open on 3 separate occasions.

The first 2 were just being a stupid kid and jumping on the bed.

The 3rd was when I was rollerblading, I almost ran into another skater and swearved out of the way only to have my head fall on the curb....I GOTS DAIN BRAMAGE! GOOGLY MOOGLY!!

[JanatUrlich]

I have two really horrible scars from knife fights I wasn't even involved in!

And I have an ugly scar on my leg from cutting myself shaving lol. I also have a dint on my forehead from when I faceplanted the floor when I was little.

 

[The Funslinger]

Erm, two surgical scars painfully close to my privates. A scar on the bridge of my nose from chicken pox, I call it the chicken pock/chicken pock mark now. I also have a peppering of scars on my right hip from some accident or other. I think it was from playing a game when I was 14 where I had to run from about three people who had to take me to the ground by any means necessary. I'm good at staying on my feet, hence their increased violence, hence the scars.

... what that doesn't count ? Okay I've got this really ugly scar back when I was five. I was jumping around and fell into the coffee table. Managed to drive the granite adge thru the area between my lip and chin. The cool part is that the scar is just in the right position to get coverd up by my lip so unles I strech my lip inwards its practicly invisible.

 

[Atmos Duality]

A white line roughly 2 and half inches in diameter running across my left palm, starting from the base of my index finger and ending almost in the middle of the palm.

Cause: Stupidly grabbed a sharpened can lid when I was 2 years old, which at the time encompassed the entire width of my palm.

It serves a direct scale for how much I've grown since I was 2. That's about it though.

 

[Electrogecko]

On my chin from when I slipped and was unable to catch myself with my hands. This exact same spot was opened up twice and I needed stitches both times.

On my lip from when I smashed my face into the corner of a dresser and lost a tooth- also stitches.

I will always have a very distinct left thumb print from a cut recieved from a cat food can.

I just remembered the one on my right leg (I seriously haven't looked at it in at least a year) from when I crashed my bike into a fire hydrant (laugh it up- everyone does) and needed about a dozen stitches. This one is surprisingly hard to see considering how obvious and bald it was last time I checked it out.

 

[Leemaster777]

I've kinda got Wolverine's healing factor, I don't really get scars. Especially from burns. I mean, I once burned the crap out of one of my arms with one of those fry baskets from McDonald's, and it healed so good I can't even tell which arm it was anymore.

That being said, I do have two noticable scars:

One is on my knuckle from when I was moving a rug into the trunk of a car... but I wasn't really a kid at the time, so that doesn't count.

One scar I got when I was 9 is still around, however. I stabbed myself in the arm with cutting knife. Okay, let me back up. You see, this was RIGHT after I had seen Toy Story, and my parents had just bought me a Buzz Lightyear action figure (the big one with all the same features as the one from the movie).

However, the box it came it didn't look like a spaceship at all, so I wanted a spaceship for my new Buzz. So, I took a cardboard box and a cutting knife into the front yard and went to work on my new Buzz Lightyear spaceship. I think you can guess where things went from there.
