Hey Guys, was chatting with a few friends and we ended up on the topic of our various scars.
I thought I would throw this topic up and hopefully start an interesting thread based on TLers scars and the stories behind them.
The idea is to post with a description of your scars, where and how large, along with a story about how you acquired them. Include a picture if you can!
Personally I have 5 scars that I can name:
1. I have a HUUUUUGE scar on my left ass cheek from when I was a baby. When I was very young I had a disease called Osteomyelitis. I never really bothered to read up on it but I know that it required debridement which is essentially removing the damaged or infected skin. This removal resulted in a kick ass scar that makes me feel like a total bad ass.
2. When I was approx 8 I was playing on a trampoline with my brother. This sucker was rectangular in shape and, because my brother was a total retard, had a huge hole in the center. What ended up happening was a combination of me jumping forward, my brother double bouncing me, and my face getting smashed in to the solid ass edges. I walked with my mom and my brother to the hospital down the street and got it sown up right quick.
3. I have a small scar in the web between my right thumb and my right index finger from 8th grade when a pencil I was holding decided it would fit better inside my hand. I ended up walking down the hallway saying "ow" until I got to the principles office where he pulled out the pencil, gave me a band-aid with gauze and sent me back to the class. Felt like a total baller walking back in like nothing happened.
4. I have a retarded burn scar from when I was 12~ on my right arm near my elbow. I had a mosquito bite and after scratching it and creating a small open sore I decided to put some "off" on it. Off is a bug bite pain itch stopper thingy that hurts when you put it in an open wound, that didn't stop me though. After putting that on my wound for a while I discovered that it was just killing my skin. Hence, the scar.
5. Kites are dangerous on a windy day. I was playing around with a kite with my brother on a very windy day. We made this kite super bad ass by having one person throw the kite handle to the other person who was downwind. It was my turn to throw this kick ass kite and I tripped, this didn't stop the kite from wrapping its self around my right thumb and pulling me a short distance. As the kites rope was quite fine it ended up giving me a SICK burn near my wrist resulting in my scar.
So guys lets hear your cool stories. Also, if you have pictures please post them, everyone likes seeing how much of a bad ass you are as well as hearing about it.
I have also come to the realization that my right arm has been punished a lot, I feel this is due to the fact that my left side got the ass scar and the eyebrow scar. Gotta even shit up I guess.
Also, if this does not justify a general forum thread I would really appreciate if a mod could move it to blogs instead of outright closing it. If it is groovy enough for the general though I am happypants.

My only major scar is a pretty big one next to my right eye.
Got hit with a baseball bat when I was about six or seven years old and never wanted to get surgery to pretty it up. So many people asked me about it when I was little I eventually told one woman I got into a fight.
Doesn't look nasty or anything... Just like someone sculpted out a bit of me shaped like Japan.

Went on holiday with my mother & father. I was sleeping on this coach sort of bed thing and i fell off and hit my head on the corner of the table (really really sharp) and i stood up and blood was poring all down me, all on the floor. I reacted by shouting mum dad I'm bleeding all over the floor. They replied "go back to bed, your OK". It ended up me walking into they room covered all in blood and than got rushed to hospital.
Edit; The scar is just above my left eye.

I have one about 2 cm wide on my palm under my left ring finger.
Was doing Hard materials tech, and managed to chisel my own hand while trying to wedge a piece of MDF off my assignment.
Just walked back up to the teacher like "Hey sir, look at this", then he drove me to white cross where I got a few stitches (still have some photos, I told my mum to take them when she got there) :D
Edit: Some pictures taken straight from the white cross. (A bit bloody)
+ Show Spoiler +
Had to get physiotherapy on it for a few weeks after to strengthen it, the doctor said if i had stabbed a bit harder it would have damaged my nerves.
Still bugs me every once in a while to this day, though, especially when playing guitar =/
|
my only scar is on my index finger. I was in grade school when i was sawing wood or something and the saw slipped to my finger and almost sliced it off. Doctor said that it was pretty close, about 1-2millimeters from the sinew.
But nothing else really.
|
I have one on my nose. It's not huge, but definitely noticeable. I got it from rubbing my nose when I had chicken pox as a young, young kid.
|
Manly thread ^^
I have scars on my big toes because of surgery which was like 2 years ago. Basically my nails were growing abnormally and ripped the flesh on my toes so the doctors had to open it up and remove some parts of the nails.
I have some smaller scars on my hands, burning and cutting them by accident.
Like a month ago, I've burned my own left leg by spilling boiling stew on it.
Not really a scar, but kinda funny. When I was like 3 years old I succesfully broke a pencil into my upper chest and I still have that graphite patch under my skin.
|
Biggest scar I have is the one on my right arm on the elbow that kinda looks like "patch". I got it while practicing for football. Good thing it was cold that day or else I would have been ceaselessly bleeding.
|
i have minimal acne scarring left on both sides of my face. it used to bother me as a kid, but now (im 23) its virtually faded and you basically have to be eyeballing me from a cm away to notice
also a small, also very anonymous scar on under my nose, above my upper lip. fell down some metal stairs when i was 2. my grandma still regrets that happened on her watch lol.
|
Huge scar on my left leg from rope burn. Wraps around about half the leg.
Scar above my left eye from stitches I got after running into a table edge in preschool(hide and seek inside)
And a scar on the left side of my nose from a fight I got into with my dad after he took a swipe at my sister
Apparently the left side of my body is more prone to scarring <_<
|
I was born with a condition called Bi-lateral Tellipes. The operations to fix it involved having a wire frame placed around my right leg with large metal pins placed through my leg in order to change the alignment of my bones. I now have a 'dent' in my right leg. A slight dip in my muscle and whenever I move my foot it goes in and out. Its my party trick.  Enjoy

- sole of the left foot, 5 cms long. Glass shard in a fishpond
- 10 cms, inside right thigh. climbed a volleyball post, slid down and got cut on some metal part
- 1 cm, upper lip, missed while trying to smash something with a huge iron rod, got dragged by the impulse of it and 'breaked' with my face on the rod
- dozens on my hand from almost invisible to 2 cm. Really like woodcarving as a kid. And ran with a glass jar in my hand, fell and kept it in my hand, while it broke. Big one under the tip of my right index finger, where I got stuck between two rocks when building a dam.
- 2 cm one on my sternum. I fell out of a tree, a branch caught me in the sternum
- 2 cm at my lower back. No idea where I got it from
- two small, but visible ones on my right hand and wrist, from being bitten by a rabbit and our parrot
- two small, but visible ones from endoscopy on my right knee
|
1. Left upper cheek, bicycle race on gravel, was going really fast and lost control and landed on face.
2. Left hand, mom was ironing clothes when I was a kid and I tried it out when she turned her back.
3. Abdomen, appendicitis.
|
- nice long scar on my chin from jumping into a pool to close to the side, and smashing it on the edge.
- scar on my right eyebrow from dunking a basketball, not letting go of the rim, swinging around, and falling flat on my face from 8 feet up. I also broke my hip during that fun experience.
-scar on my right forefinger down to the bone from opening a model airplane with an exacto-knife![[image loading]](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pXnQAQHN7so/Tc3uFQ_ZhVI/AAAAAAAAAwU/083Kwma6gUc/s400/exactoknife.jpg)
dozens of little scars on both forearms from many random encounters with barbed wire and such.
|
I have a scar on my left pinky finger from getting it ran over by a skateboard while street luging as a kid. Also have a bunch of assorted scratch scars on my arms which I dont really remember how I got them.
|
I have a scar on my left wrist, running from the bottom of my palm to half a centimeter from the spot where the pulse is taken, it looks like I was extremely emo at one point and tried to kill myself.
The inside spot between my index finger and thumb has a line and 4 dots from a half inch chisel that was stabbed there and the stitches. Now I really know not to use tools in a direction that could slip and go towards any body part.
Right hand's fingers had quite a lot of flesh taken off them from an incident with tin roofing, mix-matched lines of scars running across all of the fingers.
Back of both hands and forearms have more than several scars due to my first cat, and my cat that I have now.
Top of my right knee has a scar and unintended tattoo due to a graphite pencil being stabbed there.

Have a small one on my right fist right behind my index finger from playing around with lifting big rocks as a child on an old dock with lots of crushed rocks on where we used to fish, cut my hand on the edge of one of them when I was lifting a rock.
Have a bit bigger one from when I was a child again on my right underarm right below my wrist from a fight with my brother that ended up with me smashing a glass water mug into the side of his head and a shard of it cutting me up as well, his ear got shred into three pieces hanging off of his head but luckily he got stitched up fine.
Lots of small ones on my knees from running around on adventure as a child.

When I was about 10 years old I decided that I would ride to school on my bicycle. At the time we used to live up a huge hill with a lane which was not very well kept, it was rocky and rubbly, had lots of pot holes etc. Anyway, I was going at what felt like a million miles an hour, fell off, and tried to slow myself down with my chin.
Rocks + rubble + face = blood + stitches + scar.

I have a scar between my left hand, pinky and ring finger knuckles on the back of my hand. I was in grade 1 and playing around elementary school like kids do. I ran around a corner but at the same time a grade 7 guy was coming around the corner and I somehow got my left hand pinky hooked on a piece of clothing.
Long story short, my finger got bent outward all the way to my wrist and the bones broke in multiple places. One bone actually broke through the skin and it was at that point the bell rang so I went inside and when my teacher saw she nearly fainted. She had to hold herself up on the wall and we went ghost white.

I have had a few encounters with mugs due to my little brother. Luckily, I think?, these suckers were the hard ceramic ones so they didn't smash on my face/head/back and only left bruises.
