I have a scar on my palm from an exacto-knife, I pulled a full retard ahead when I was doing something to warhammer 40k minis. I missed the nerve by like 1 cm on both sides, which made me feel pretty lucky.

I live on a farm, and we have burn pile where we burn some of the trash. Once when I was 12 we were burning a lot of this white heavy plastic wrap we use to wrap hay bales. I went over to the fire and threw a big stick into it because I was a kid, I was stupid, and I loved fire.

The stick landed in this big pool of molten plastic that had collected at the bottom of the burn pile, the molten plastic splattered all up and won my right leg, burned into my skin, and hardened in my leg.

I had to go to the hospital to have it all cleaned out (so painful, especially for a 12 year old) it left a couple scars but one big one right on the front of my right shin. Still have it.

I have 3 scars worth mentioning, all on my head, which is a constant source of humor among my friends. I'll preface this by saying I've never broken any bones or had any stitches...

1st is actually hidden in my hair on the top of my head, midline. I was playing Marco Polo in a hotel pool in Dallas, TX at around the age of 7 with my brothers, and I was the one calling out Marco. I head one of them behind me so I dove backwards to get him. Oops, that was just an echo from the wall behind me. That was a lot of fun blood in the pool, and the hotel had to close the pool down for 2 days to get it clean. My injury probably should have been seen at the emergency room, but

2nd is hidden in my right eyebrow. One month after acquiring the previous scar, my family took a trip to DC and stayed on a military base there, in the guest lodging. The hallway smelled really bad, so we all rushed to get into the room as fast as possible. As the youngest of 4, with 2 older brothers, I was quicker and could dart in past them. This, however, resulted in me getting pushed from behind as we finally got the door open, and I fell forward and whacked my eyebrow against one of those metal clips that was open on the suitcase on the bed. It probably should have had stitches, but apparently that would have been too much of an inconvenience. I don't really mind since the scar is covered up by my eyebrow.

3rd and finally is the scar I got while skiing. Here I am, 14 years old, my 2nd day ever skiing (snow or water) thinking I'm a badass. I'm going down this trail with the poles tucked under my arms, because that's what you do when you're a badass, yeah? So the trail up ahead divides into two; left path is the blue square, right path is a single black diamond. Before I make my decision, I hit a mogul (bump in the snow) and go airborne. Now, just to help out skiers who aren't sure what they're doing, the ski resort helpfully put rope delineating the edges of the ski trails. Unfortunately, as I am airborne, it's rather difficult to alter my trajectory. I ended up breaking my nose on the rope and waking up to red snow all around me. Only time in my life I've ever been knocked out. The ski-mergency guy (or whatever they are) took a look at my nose (no x-ray or anything) and said they could adjust it and re-align it, but it actually was pretty good. The outside of my nose looks fine, but I have a super deviated septum, so my right nostril is about twice the diameter of my left. I showed it off all the time during my physical assessment classes, to everyone's amusement! Can barely see this scar anymore, unless you know where to look; right across the bridge of my nose just under where my glasses sit.

broke my clavicle this April and needed surgery. Got a pretty nasty red scar along the bone. Hopefully it'll heal more.

Right above my right eye I have a semi-circle scar that I got when my brother's Winchester magnum 300 kicked back and the rubber scope cut through my flesh down to the bone.

Got a scar on the end of my left butt cheek from a surgery I had, right next to the crack, I hate it because it makes a random bump.

Also got a scar on my left knee, when my parents were building the sun room, I feel on the edge of a ceramic tile, damn that thing was sharp, cut me all the way to the kneecap.

Third and last one is on the outer edge of my left eye brow, was jumping on a bed when I was a kid (I honestly don't remember it, I was like 3) and fell off the side and hit my head on the corner. I got so lucky...

I have 7 separate scars on various points across my torso from having my rectum surgically removed, long story. Most are discrete thin lines but one is just huge mass of deep red flesh across my right side. Pretty ugly but at least I can cover it up.

There's also the small hole, about the size of what a hole puncher make, on my forehead from chicken pox.

I have a pretty nasty scar across my left pointer finger from burning myself with a brazing flame. Skin instantly hardened and turned white/yellow. Was a second degree burn and it took roughly a month to heal. The moment the burn happened and the few minutes after, it didn't hurt too bad. I was mostly just in panic because of what happened and my entire finger just felt warm and dry. After I had put burn ointment on it and wrapped it in gauze, roughly 15 minutes after the burn happened, it became excruciatingly painful. For about an hour and a half it was almost unbearable. It was an intense burning, stinging sensation and was A LOT more painful than when the actual burn occurred.

What made it even worse was about two weeks into the healing process it was finally scabbing and I went to reach inside of a paper bag and the scab got caught on the edge of it. Half of it ripped off and caused the healing process to take that much longer.

Other than that, I have a few other various scars but none as brutal as that. The only other one worth mentioning was when I was roughly 8, I was wrestling with my dad and got knocked into the stand of the fish tank. It was wooden and had really sharp corners; one of which I hit the back of my head on. Had a pretty bad gash that bleed a fair amount. Went to the hospital that night and got roughly 15 stitches.

Cuttin leaves lots of scars, both physically and mentally. Jus check your inner arm. It's really cool tho that such a well-known and notorious person such as HUSKY can still be chill enough to post and open threads on TL.net

I got a scar from middle school, when a friend convinced me to help him make his version of Jackass.

He found another white guy and a black guy. Together we mashed together to make an oreo, then preceded to roll down a steep hill. Best part was we got it all on film.

I have a huge fucking scar on my chest. The story on how I got it is actually pretty interesting.

I was having this fighting tournament in order to prove I was the strongest fighter. I fucking smashed everyone accept this one young Japanese fighter. He was a bit of a punk if you ask me; any way I was beating his ass and then he went god damn ballistic and released this crazy shit called the "Hadou" then he did this huge ass dragon punch and my chest fucking exploded in pain.
It sucked at the time, but It taught me a valuable lesson. You see, fighting shouldn't be about victory, its about the joy of combat. It really put things in perspective, but every once and awhile I still scratch it angrily.

Hmm I have a scar on my head from running into a doorknob and splitting my head open. Hidden by hair unless I cut it really short though.

Also a scar close to my right temple after I slipped on ice and my glasses broke in half and shot up there. Hidden by eyebrow though for the most part

Also used to have a scar on my nose after my brother poked me in the face with a ski pole

Fun childhood^^

I have a small scar on my left thumb from a pocket knife. I was trying to cut the cap off a Ramune bottle for the marble and the knife slipped. Yeah, that was fun.

I have another one on my right knee that's about an inch long. I didn't look where I was kneeling and landed on a part of the metal hard drive housing I had just taken out of an old computer.

I've also been told I have about 6 scars on my head from the fetal monitor they put in when you're a newborn. They couldn't get it to stay so they kept jabbing me with it.

I had a tooth removed incorrectly that caused an infected abscess to start eating away my right jaw. Got bone grafts and all that and end results are a two-inch scar on each hip and a 5 inch scar right where my neck meets my jaw, it's hard to see (unless you're 8 years old looking up at me I guess) except if I don't shave (no hair grows there).

holy poop.
I also forgot to note that I have a small scar on my knee that looks like a baby version of your scar, yours definitely takes the cake.

My only one; small scar on my right hand near my thumb. I was sitting at a camp fire late at night and one of the logs spat, burned some sap right into my hand + couldn't get it off. It took ages to heal but the scar is only an inch long.

Edit: I'll include one of my dad's because it's awesome. He was a mechanic and working on a motorbike exhaust; he fell off the bike while testing it and a bolt punched a hex-shaped hole into his leg, the scar is a receded imprint of a hex bolt in his shin bone.
