Anyone have any cool scars?

shwaip

As some of you may (or may not) remember, a couple years ago, I had surgery on my lung to...keep me alive :D. I've got a couple cool looking scars, and I figured all of your lives would be better after seeing them ;) I've removed the nipple, so it's safe to look at :p Anyone else have any that they think are cool?

No scars here, I feel left out.

I've just got a scar along the knuckle of my left thumb where I nearly severed my tendons with a steak knife at age 6.

I don't know about cool, but my upper left leg has a 12-14 inch scar on the outside and a 1 inch scar on the inside around the knee where I had a plate inserted because of a compound fracture of the femur. And my right knee has 2 scars coming almost to a V where I had a muscle transfer done because of blown ligaments in the knee. Both are courtesy of an unemployed poor disabled man on his way to the bar to drink his effing sorrows away and turned directly into me while riding on my motorcycle. :rant: The knee occasionally hurts now, as arthritis has started setting in. :rolleyes:

Nothin' spectacular, but I have a scar on the back of my hand where a friend of mine scratched me...dun remember what [I deserved for doing it] she was doing, but afterwards she looked at her finger and said, "Ew!" and flicked away a portion of my skin :-/

I could make some :D

A few burn marks here and there... oddly when I was in 3rd grade to 5th grade sometime between those, I had an accident on my bike that sent the handlebar(which the rubberpeice came off of)...w ell it went into my chest, under the skin but not the bone, thank god. Left a mark on me for 3 years I think, no mark left of it. It seems that all my scars eventually just fade.

I got flaming tar splattered all over me when I was 14. I have about 2-3 dozen tiny little burn scars all over my arms, chest, and legs :D

I also have a really long (6") double scar on my right inner forearm, which looks like it was made by a wicked blade. Actually I tripped and fell on a bike fork when I was about 10.

One on right thumb, that after 40 years is still mostly there. Kid with first knife, aka /me, cut into thumb-- to da bone. Stitches needed, given, thumb works OK. And it is STILL double-jointed (base joint) a bit more than the left one. I can literally PALM a basketball or larger ball yet.

I have a scar an inch under and an inch to the right of my left nipple. Had a questionable mole removed that was changing. The cool part (coolest next to it saving me from skin cancer...) is that the scar looks like a crater on the Moon. My daughter keeps pushing it like a button...LOL

I also have a scar on my left thumb that starts at the nail, goes up an inch toward the knuckle, then forms a sickle-shaped hook back toward the tip of my thumb, ending about 1/4" from the edge of my nail, on the pad of the finger. My buddy was faking stabbing me in the eye with a hunting knife that was about 12" long, so I decided to grab the haft, except just when I went to grab the HANDLE he pulled his hand back, so I grabbed the KNIDE BLADE instead as he was pulling it back. Almost sliced the tip of my finger right off. I can still imagine the feeling of the knife slicing in. The funny thing was that the apartment I was in was literally right across the street from the entrance of one of Halifax's hospital emergency entrances. Oh, and 3 of us had just finished drinking a 24 of beer in about 30 min. Did I mention I had just joined a frat, so we were kinda crazy? I strolled into the emerg, and said that I think I needed stitches, as I had cut myself. The triage nurse got cranky because I was visibly drunk, and made me sit. 25 minutes later a doctor happens to see me checking the blood, and calls me into the treatment area, yelling to the triage nurse on the way by, " YOU BETTER BE IN MY OFFICE WHEN I'M DONE STITCHING THIS GUY UP!!!!" To this day the side of my thumb is numb.

Back in December, I sliced off the tip of my left index finger. All the skin and some underlying tissue, but to this day, the tip never quite grew back. It's a flat spot on the end of my finger, feels like a thick callous, and there is basically no feeling there. Good thing I'm right handed.

I've got matching scars on both thighs from where I ran into a barbed wire fence and it tore into the jeans I was wearing, and then into my legs. All I can say is that it's a good thing the barbs hit my thighs....a few inches either way and one of those barbs could have hit something much more valuable....no'm sayin'???

I've got a scar above my knee on left leg from where I laid down a dirtbike, and some metal part sunk into me. That's why I don't ride motorcycles.

Scar on left palm from where a fish hook tore through it.

Finally, on my right wrist is a thin vertical scar that looks like a very pathetic suicide attempt, but is in reality left over from a small scratch I remember getting when I was 3-4, didn't even bleed much then, but it's with me 30 years later.

I have lots of scars, but none that I would say are "cool" looking.

Right hand - index and middle finger - palm side - stitch marks from dropping a shortblock 350 chevy engine on it. Luckily lost no fingers or the use of them.

Right groin - large scar - can still count the stitch marks from where I had a gland removed due to "cat scratch fever" when I was about 14.

Left forearm - two small scars from metal fragments where I was knocking an axle bearing off using a chisel and hammer.

Left and right forearm - near elbows - small scars from my arms going through a door window at a garage I worked out. Door normally opened easily but on this particular occasion it didn't. Forward progress (of my body) didn't stop fast enough. Scar on upper lip (hidden by mustache) received from this same accident.

Inside of both elbows - burns from little league baseball (sliding into base)

Belly button - about 3" vertical scar almost directly through my belly button from having a kidney removed (donated to my wife). Also two other small scars on left side of stomach from same surgery.

Numerous other scars, but nothing memorable. :)

I must have had a rough childhood 'cause I don't know where a lot of my scars came from. :D

I only have a little scar from it - at the outside end of my left eyebrow. I was thrown from a horse back in '87 :Pwned: . I have three strips of titanium and 7-8 stainless steel screws holding my left cheek bone in place. I only have the 1 little scar because the Docs went in through my mouth, between my gums and top lip to put everything back where it belongs.

Ended up witha broke left leg too when the horse stepped on me :Pwned: again!!! Had a horseshoe shaped scar on my left calve for years after it happened. It's faded away with time

I have a scar on my right thumb when I opened a can of tuna in the school cafeteria when I was in the 8th grade. Still makes my thumb tickle from time to time. Also makes my right thumbprint funky.

The inside of both my arms are covered in stretch marks (going from my elbow to shoulder), which I managed to get in 8th grade thanks to working out all the time. They're not as red as they used to be, but are still very visible. There were rumors back in those days that they were the result of steroids.

Nope, just inelastic skin.

Well, I have a scar on my Right elbow from something that i cannot remember, then I have 4 horizontal scars on my back that look like whipping scars (maybe Leo?) but I hve no idea where they came from, and a scar on my lower right back fromm a screw on my parents dresser that I fell on. That's it. OH wait. I know it is not a scar but does a dent in the head count? I got a concussion at six flags and got a dent in my head. Don't ask what ride it was on cause all I know is that I threw up 7 times that day thanks to that darn concussion.

Got one on my knee when I was playing Baseball I was a catcher and the pad slipped off my knee and a guy foul tipped it. Laces are indented on my knee been there for years.

TBonZ

I have a lightning bolt on my right index nuckle that I broke open in a fight from highschool.

I also took a clam in the knee when I was a kid, the clam went so far in it was stuck. That left a dandy scar.

All other scars are insignificant.

I have a 14" long scar on my you-know-what. ;D

shwaip

it looks like a corkscrew when it wraps around 28 times though, right?

I have a nice scar on the back of my knee where a german shepard bit me at age 9. I long one on my hand when I fell out of a treehouse. My knuckles are pretty bunged up cause i'm a badass, and I have a nice scar in my forehead where I got up close and personal with a beer glass.

Missileman

Heck - I could give Frankenstein a run in the scar department. Age does that to you I think. I'm not real accident prone, but stuff happens to me WAY too much.

Centerline of back from collar to butt crack - spinal cord tumor

Left wrist front and back - knife wound completely through wrist. (Was just a bit slow).

Right knee most of the way around. - Schrapnel from grenade. (One of ours)

Left shoulder front and back - bullet hole straight through.

Various other odds and ends on extremities.

A few years in the military will usually give you some bragging rights in the scar competitions :)

Wow, that's a whole seperate thread:

How many of you have taken a bullet? :eek3:
