    Scar on my right arm, just above the elbow. Was sleeping walking and woke up with a butcher knife hanging out of my arm. Apparently I had gotten up on a chair to get oatmeal out of the cupboard. When I came down the knife, sticking up in the dish rack.........you get the picture. Knives go blade side down now. :happy:

    ive got a scar on my right eyebrow just where the arch should be and no hair grows directly on it but plucking around hurts like crazy and eyebrow shaping is next to impossible because of it. I had my eyebrow peirced for like 6 months. LOVED it and it healed great! until my face got into a fight with my pillowcase one night... needless to say the pillowcase won... I woke up cause it hurt but it was still in. the next day no problems. The third day the ball was in my line of sight so i pushed it up but instead it came out. thought about getting it re-done but I have other body mods Id like to blow my money on first lol

    I've got a 3inch long one on my lower left leg, where I had a compound fracture :( Also, scar over left knee and little screw scars from the titanium rod in my leg. Wish I had a great story to tell, but it was a bad car wreck!

    I have an 8 inch long, 3/4 inch wide scar running under my left shoulder blade from heart surgery when I was 3.

    Also right above my upper lip (on the white skin part), I did a high-speed face plant on a solid sheet of ice, and my right eye tooth was stuck through my lip. The scar is tiny now, but I still hate ice 25 years later.

    ETA: Awesome topic, btw. :smokin: :drinker:

    I only really have two. One is a crescent moon shaped scar on my lower leg from when I was little. I was trying to get a glass out of the cabinet and dropped it. It shattered and one of the flying shards cut open my leg. It's pretty faded now though.

    The other is on the side of my foot, and it's so faded that you can only really see it if you know that there is something there. I was walking outside wearing flip flops when I was 12 or 13. I stumbled over a stick when it somehow got wedged beneath the strap of my shoe, and rammed it into the side of my other foot. That hurt a lot.

    I'm a curator and I was installing an exhibit when I put an exacto knife through my thumb. Hit the artery and I still have no feeling in my thumb. My brother tried to remove my eye when I was a kid. Luckily my other brother stopped him but I have a scar on my eye from his attempt. (my brother is nuts btw). Scars on my knees from roller skating with my dog who saw a cat. Other than that I'm perfect!

    Left eyelid, all the way across...

    When I was 5, I was laying down in Central Park when a loose dog basically ran across my face and ripped my eyelid off...seriously.

    Thankfully it was NYC, so there were plenty of hospitals and plastic surgeons near by. You can't even tell, but the memory of seeing my lid on ice never ceases to creep me out

    let's see... brain surgery, c-section, bunion removal... been to hell and back - that God that's over!

    Scar that runs from the base of my thumb down to the center of my wrist. I was hitting my fist on the bathroom sink and somehow caught the mirror in the medicine cabinet. Didn't apply enough pressure obviously. Passed out and had to have 2 pints of blood.

    I have a lattice looking scar on my inner right calf from falling on (and getting stuck to) an in-floor heater grate when I was a little munchkin because I wanted to show someone my pretty new dress shoes... :|

    I have almost the same kind of scar, from the same thing, an in-floor heat grate but mine happens to be on the outside of my right leg. it happened when I was about 5, and I was trying to see what the grownups were doing at the table...

    I have quite a big scar down my stomach where my VP shunt ends from hydrocephalus (water on the brain) since I was 2 months old. I haven't talked about it much because nobody really understands about it. I barely wear bikinis in the past because I was ashamed of it but I realized it's part of me and I do wear bikinis now.

    I have a scar across my left hip from a biopsy I had done when I was 11.

    I also have scars on the back of my calves from rollerblading when I was younger.

    Got into a fight with a 9/16" ratchet at work. The secret is to never get in a hurry and tighten AWAY from your face. God I felt stupid, and get a scar in the center of my head to remember it by.

    Oh man, i bet i have the best one here. I have about an 2-3inch vertical scar on my right breast, that goes over my nipple. Faint now, because i got it when i was about 9 years old. I didn't even really have breast then, but i was a really big "tom boy". Well i was in the woods, playing "war/fort" with my brother's and their friends when my brother yelled "Battle Stations" (dorky i know, lol). So off i ran and as i came around the corner i fell in one of our own boobie traps....:laugh: And when i fell there was a stick there that cut me through my shirt, and made about an 1 1/2 inch scar. Of course my boobs grew to D's now and the scar grew with it. Now you can barely see it, because it has faded so much, but i just love that i got my boobie scar from a boobie trap...lol.

    :laugh:

    You think that would have clue'd me in that I really need to lose the weight, but it took another 9 years after that to figure it out :)

    Dude.. look at you now! Nice arms!

    I've got an ugly thick and wide scar about 8 inches long across the right side of my abdomen. Whenever people ask about it I'm tempted to come up with some badass story but I always end up sheepishly admitting the truth.

    When I was an infant I had to have a procedure due to pyloric stensosis. The original scar was little more than an inch long. It only got so big because I did....

    Just under my thumb on the palm of my hand- Using a steak knife to split open turkey burgers that were stuck together (ya know, divided with the paper) well I got the burgers un stuck and a steak knife into the palm of my hand.

    My sister did basically this. Jammed a seriously sharp knife into the muscle right at her thumb joint.. stitches & the whole nine. Now when she bends her thumb just right, it looks like a *kitten*. Seriously.
