Most interesting scars

Left arm, Left side of torso scarred from spilling Hot Water on myself in 1957. Almost lost my left eye. Dr. wanted to amputate my left arm, but my father wouldn't let them. Except for my arm, most of the scarring is less noticable unless I tan.
14 inch scar on Right shoulder. Knife wound in 1974. Went all the way to the bone. Very noticable.
Shins are all scarred up from years of Martial Arts and Soccer.
Nuckles scarred and enlarged fro years of Martial Arrts and Boxing.
Scarring on belly and low back from Spinal Surgery in 2002.
Scarring from Road Rash from riding a motorcycle for 44 years.
Lots of other little markings that I can't remember how they got there.0 -
Small rainbow shaped scar on my back. when I was a kid I bent over to pick up the soap and when I stood up the faucet cut into my back. Now my mandatory "I'm 18 and gonna get a tramp stamp tattoo" covers it. :laugh:0

This one on my wrist from a boxcutter. Never cut towards yourself! I was cutting through a double thick part of a box, and it slipped and stuck in my wrist. EWWW. I didn't get stitches either, used butterfly stitches. Hardcore!0 -
I like to say the 18-inch scar down my right leg (and numerous others on the same leg) was training for the Olympics but rather getting hit by a car (while motorcycling) and having more surgeries than I can count over the past 30 years to patch me up and keep me moving.0

Mmm well I have this one scar on my upper wrist it's a small little line where my friend went to go and grab my wrist but missed and cut me with one of her long sharp nails.
I have this other scar on my knee back when I was a young girl so years ago and I was running up the stairs and didn't see the staple having out if the top one. I bumped my knee on it and got a deep gash in the shape of a square. Actually more like a box without a top. I probably should of gotten stitches and with all the blood I lost I should of gone to the hospital but I didn't want my mom to find out....
My third scar story is the one on my lower wrist. I have a line across my lower left wrist where I burnt it on a iron. I was ironing my very wrinkled shirt for work on day and I was trying to fix my makeup too so I sat the iron down went to go reach for my mascara and caught the edge of the iron on my wrist. One third degree burn later and a nasty scar and people still ask me if I cut myself or self harm. Ummm no it was a battle with my iron.0 -
I have a scar on my forearm from stabbing myself with a pencil in high school....it was laying on my bed and I went to jump on the bed, arms first, and the pencil went straight in my skin. About an inch deep. The scar is still grey, looks like the led is still in there from 8 years ago.
I also have a perfect circle scar on my rib cage. My aunt accidentally burned me with her cigarette trying to pick me up when I was about 4 years old.0 -
6 inch x 2 inch scar across my hip bone...friend picked me up at a 4th of July party...dropped me on the fire ring....:explode: Can't hide that baby.0

Besides the C-section scar, I have 2 other favorite scars. The first is a big indent on my leg. I broke a big picture frame and put the glass in the trash can next to my bed. So naturally, I forgot it was there and rolled out of bed right onto the shards of glass. It was 2 days before our big 8th grade canoe trip that I didn't want to miss so I just covered it with a big guaze pad and went canoeing. By the time my parents found about my cut, it was too late for stitches. oops!
My second is an F-shaped scar on my wrist. I put my wrist through a glass door when I was 3. Really, I was just trying to ruin my little sister's birthday :laugh: It did cause some damage though. I can't make a "3" with my fingers- you know, using your thumb & pinky. Just can't do it!0 -

I have pencil lead in my right hand from pencil wars in first grade. I used to use it to remember which was my right hand0 -
Scar on my back from doing a back flip off a roof onto a trampoline. Didn't land on the bouncy part, though - I landed on the metal frame. Hurts to think about it.
Watching videos of people falling makes my tailbone hurt from where I cracked it on a rock sledding, hate that!0 -
Outside of my ankle 8-9 inches, inside 5 inches. I broke my tibia off of my ankle, when it broke off it slammed into my fibula and butterfly broke it in 3 places. 6 screws and a plate and physical therapy and I am good.
Several surgeries. One time I was so impatient to get my staples out I cut them off with wire cutters. Ruined the wire cutters.0 -
The first one is on the bottom side of my chin. I was probably 5 and was sitting on my knees on a kitchen chair that had the spokes in the back of it. I tried standing up, but my feet were stuck in the spokes and smashed my chin into the table.
The second one, my brothers pushed a toy tractor under our combine and I went under to get it. I stood up too quickly and there are sharp triangle looking things that the corn stalks, and bean pods fly out of and I nailed my forehead into it.
My brother also pushed me off the top step of a tractor because we were fighting over who got to go with to take the corn to the co-op. The co-op use to give out ham sandwiches during harvest time. They must have been damn good if he was willing to push me off. I landed flat on my back.0 -
The tip of my right middle finger was almost cut off when I was playing a stupid knife game with my brother.
Then I have a nice hole in my right calf where my brother shot me with a target point arrow (long story, but I was actually the "winner" of this round.)
Then I have a nice scar next to my eye from a calf riding incident (he scraped me off on part of the barn door).
Then I have 2 large scars on my knee from high school when a cheerleader ran into my motorcycle - thus ending my senior football season.
Then I have nice scars on my right ribs and perineum from an ill advised bull riding incident - thus ending any ideas of taking this up on a regular basis.
They're all fading nicely - I've somehow managed to not do anything else massively stupid in the past 20 years.0 -
3/8" x 1 1/4" stripe on the back of my L wrist where i removed a tattoo. with a knife.
i wear a watch over it.0 -
I have one on my right shin from a Tom Petty concert!! The floor was wet (not sure if it was beer or pee, hopefully beer) and the bottom of my shoes got wet. When I went to stand on the seat, so I could see better, my foot slipped and I fell through the seat, gashing my shin. It didn't hurt at the time.0
-
i have pale oval burn marks on my left arm from craddling a hot iron as a kid (18months old)0
-
Two scars on my head with 5 or 6 stitches each. One time I fell backwards off a really high bed and cracked my skull open on cement (foreign country). Second time when I was younger I was running and jumped straight up into the edge of a cabinet. The funny part of the first one was, while they were stictching me up the lights went out and they had to use a candle to finish it LOL. ahhh 3rd world problems!0

I have a smiley face on my leg.
My Dad used to make his own wine and when I was five, I was riding my tricycle (one of the old steel types that my Great Grand gave me) and I imagined a genie being in that bottle (I watched a LOT of I Dream of Jeannie), so I ran into that huge bottle with my tricycle. It broke.
When I went to get off my tricycle, I fell onto a huge shard and sliced my leg open. When I went to go in the house, my mother freaked out because it was bleeding A LOT! My Dad went through lots of towels, and when he was rushing me to the emergency room, I slid all over the seat because we didn't have seat belts.0 -
I have a scar on my left bicep from my old job. I was 8 months pregnant and trying to pull a 75lb battery backup off of a top shelf when it fell. I managed to catch it, but the corner of the box caught my arm. It left a slice and massive bruise that I had to report to the shrink/safety department. My boss was not a happy camper.0
-
I have a REALLY bad one on my knee where I should have gotten a skin graft.
I got run over by a hay ride. True story.0 -
12" zipper scar, upper to mid back. Spinal fusion at age 11. The whole event was traumatizing, the permanent scar a constant reminder that I'm defective from birth. Yeah :{
I've tattooed around it to help deal with it, I want to get a "corset piercing" tattoo on it but the scar is the ONLY part of my back I can feel and all the studios locally want so much, it's not possible.0 -
Scar on my left thumb from a ligament reattachment. Snapped the ligament playing soccer (ironic, huh?) Freaked all my friend out before they reattached it because I could bend it all different awkward ways and not feel a thing lol0

1. Two hernia surgery scars from when I was born. I really wanted outta my mother's womb and gave myself a double hernia.
2. One above my right eye from when, as a child, my skateboard wheel hit a small rock - locked up and launched me into the air - ending in a perfect face plant into the driveway.
3. On the top of my left foot from when, again as a child, I was chopping a log barefoot with a rusty hatchet. I was standing on the log (after a rainstorm). I swung the hatchet. I slipped off the log and the hatchet came down into the top of my foot.
Hey, it was the 1970's in rural Florida...0 -
Scar on the corner of my right eye. When I was 2 a neighbor kid shot his BB gun over the fence between the two yards and hit me. Pretty darn happy my head wasn't turned any more than it was...
Needless to say the kid had to get his MOM to come over and get his gun away from my dad! :laugh:0 -
The most noticable scar is above my right eye in my eye brow. I use liner to connect the dots. lol When I was little I fell going up the stairs. Yes going up. Cynder block steps and I was climbing up the ones turned on their end to make the wall for the steps. Mom told me to stop and either get in the grass or walk with them. I didn't make it :laugh:
I have another one from a razor up my left leg, I was the only one home and didn't realize my mom had gotten home when she knocked on the bathroom door and scared the begibbers out of me.0 -
I have one on my left side that runs almost halfway around my waist since I was 10 months old when I had kidney surgery. I was born with only one kidney that was partially functioning and had to have surgery to get it to become 99% functioning. I hate it because it is so ugly but everyone is fascinated by it especially when I wear a bathing suit.0
-
I have a keloid scar on my chest from an incident when I was 7. Long story short, I locked my brother in an old, abandoned house (after I escaped from when he locked me in there), and he punched out a window ... while I was standing in front of it. A piece of glass hit me in the chest. I've got a scar nearly two inches long.0
-
I have a v shaped scar on my leg from where I chopped it open with a hatchet when I was in 4th grade. Lied about how it happened so I didn't go to the hospital or anything! Just a couple of bandaids and right back at hacking down those little baby trees.... bad kid! LOL!0
-
I have a decent list of scars.. But the most interesting one is the one behind my knee. Trying to explain how someone threw I knife into the back of my leg always gets people.. I was about 14 years old and my friends and I decided to see what items we could dodge. We threw rocks at each other's heads, sticks at the chest.. And then there was the throwing of the knifes.. Well it was meant to be thrown at the ground just under our feet as we ran away. My friend aimed a little too high..0

Left elbow, circle about the size of a nickel. A donkey bit me.0
