I have some, one on back from where a doctor went in with a huge needle attached to a tube with suction on it dumping into a jar the fluid that was around my lungs which the doctor sucked out (my GP had unlimited hospital privileges as a member of the hospital board of directors). That was before I cold-turkeyed myself into a non-smoker.
One faint one where I sliced into my left thumb to the bone, was trying to carve a stick when I decided to see how shallow I could carve it... Was about 12 at the time.
a 7" one going up the middle of my stomach from surgery after car wreck in '98.
both my legs/knees have innumerable dark patches thanks to soccer.
left elbow from trying to land my bike on a patch of gravel after ramping off a speed bump, going downhill (not fun picking rocks out of skin for 30 minutes) - surprisingly, my knee didn't scar up from it
1. age 1-3 years (I don't remember exactly): About an 8-inch scar right at the top of my stomach going from center-right to far left, had half my liver taken out to get rid of cancerous tumor.
2. age 2-3 years: Sight in right eye is shit from having a cataract taken out, and then childhood stubbornness set in - I did NOT want to wear glasses, patches, etc, no matter how much my parents tried to get me to use them so my right eye would gain back its strength.
3. age 11: Dog took a chunk of skin off my leg, right above the right ankle. Here's how it happened: My two sisters and I were in the above ground pool, they were splashing water out the sides, and the dog was trying to catch the water. I was jumping into the pool backwards from the ledge - had been doing this before they started splashing, fyi. Anyway, the dog ended up getting a hold of my right leg, and tore out a chunk of skin - you could see part of the muscle. Had that stapled up, and now it's just some weird scar above my ankle.
4. age 13: Have you ever done anything stupid with magnets, especially those magnets that look like little battery cells? Let's just say that I had a stupid teen moment. The magnets would not come off the skin. Where? Private. Yes, there. I know, stupid right? Anyway, they would not come off, no matter what. After a long ass time, they had finally pierced through the skin, allowing me to discard the magnets once and for all, only to be left with a hole in the skin, just below the foreskin. It eventually healed, and yes I made sure it didn't get infected, and no one knows about it (except you guys). Now it looks as if I had it pierced at some point. Heh.
5. age 15: Standing too close to someone about to try to get some distance with a tennis ball.... I now have a tiny scar dangerously close to my left eye.
6. age 16: 5-inch or so vertical scar from surgery - colon and bowel removed, polyps that could have turned cancerous at any time. There's also a 2-inch scar on the right side of my stomach, from where they had the external bag and what not for a couple months, then they reconnected the intestine or whatever to the internal artificial bag.
7. age 17: While getting outdoor stone tiles out of the car, I somehow tripped, and one landed on my right forearm in such a way that it cut the skin slightly, and the scar is still there, but barely noticeable.
Then the pain started....
The end result? A broken Radius and Unla, 10 days in serious condition at the hospital, 2 unsuccessful treatments of Chinese finger locks to attempt to realign the bones; one very long surgery to attach 3 steel pins to hold my wrist to my forearm and a cool looking scar about half the size of a penny.
1. Back of my left hand there is a burn scar the size of a spoon where my brother burned me with a razor at the age of 3. He was 5.
2. Left wrist has a scar from eldest brother hitting me with a extractable mop.
3. Right palm has some scars from a fight with some random chick.
4. Right arm & hand has some Oil Splatter from cooking.
5. Right arm has scars from IVs. The nurses had no idea how to insert them. yes, I know i said insert. lol
6. Right elbow I still have a scar from when some idiot kid stabbed me with a pencil in the 6th grade. Drive by pencil stabbing anyone?
7. Busted my chin open and had to get stitches.
WOW.. now that I think about it, I have so many scars. o.O
I have one for my friend who can't post it on here since he's not a member but I caused the scar so it kinda counts.
We were practicing with newly bought bokkens (wooden practice sword) and I had not gone over an actual technique with my friend yet, anxious as he was to use the dang things. Well we were doing simple back and forth strikes and guards. He decided to put a little pressure on one strike. My guard held a little too well and the instant he started to back off, the tip of my bokken came around and sliced his eyebrow. They said he would need stitches. However it healed up rather quick and nicely. The scar is there but it's hard to see inside his eyebrow.
Lesson: Dull (as in a few centimeters wide) wooden swords can still cut.
From the same job I have several small scars on my fingers and thumbs that are the result of cutting into my skin with the knives at work (I tend to slip a lot while cleaning) currently have a cut running along my right thumb that people are saying may scar, funnily enough I didn't notice that I had cut myself until one of my co-workers pointed out that I was bleeding onto the floor. Just goes to show how sharp those knives are.
Have one (Barely noticeable) on my left hand, the remnant of razor wire getting stuck in my hand (Hiking accident) that I got out by forcing it through the other side of my hand and cutting off the barb.
Scar tissue on the back of my right heel, the result of a nail going into it when I was a little kid. I have no idea how it happened or why I didn't get a tetanus shot but eh.
