    2 reconstructive jaw surgeries (my face is crooked now!) sliced open from the top of my head to under my jaw.
    an incision mark over a rib to remove a piece of my rib.
    someone jammed a pen in my leg and i have a nice scar on my thigh.
    forearm from when i got sliced with a knife.
    thumb from a shard of broken glass.
    i was a tomboy, so my legs and knees are very scarred up.
    i'm allergic to mosquitoes, and when i get bit, they swell and i itch them.. they turn into gross scabs and it always scars, those are all over my legs and arms too.
    2 lighter burns on my hands (they look like smiley faces)
    plus, stretch marks all over my thighs, hips, stomach, breasts, arms and even my calves.
    assorted marks from cutting.

    i think that's everything.

    I have a tiny y shaped scar on the thumb of right hand. I got it when my finger was flayed open at the age of 3.

    There is a tiny moon shaped scar next to my left eye. I tripped while playing on a ladder that was lying on the ground and hurted myself.

    I have a small scar on the thigh from when a stock boy dropped a glass coke bottle on the floor when I was grocery shopping with my mom. The scar is nice and raised. I probably needed a stitch or two for that one.

    I have a two scars from ACL reconstruction surgery. On looks like a smiley face. It's kind a happy.

    None of them bother me, but admittedly they are all pretty small.

    A set on right forearm: I work at a vet clinic and a very unhappy, and fully clawed, cat decided my arm was the best place to grab onto. Scratches from mid-forearm up to my wrist.
    Left wrist: Broke a pitcher while cleaning, huge glass shard went into my wrist.
    Various other scars from sports and trail running.

    Two motorcycle wrecks, numerous bike wrecks, and kidney removal.

    I got my first scar just a couple days after birth. If any of you girls want to kiss it and make it better, please feel free. :bigsmile:

    I just had my gallbladder out, so I have those. The surgeon made a mess of my belly button.

    My boyfriend and I also foster and work with special needs kittens for a rescue. They send us all their biters, so that's fun

    ^ I'm just curious - did you donate that kidney?

    Small one by my right eye from a cat when I was little, one from when I had my lip pierced and stretch marks from having a couple 10 pound babies. That is all though.

    54 little white scars on either side of the 6 inch scar---all from the staples that held the incision together
    3 holes from an appendectomy
    1 c-section scar (they used the same scar for the second c-section so you really can't tell)
    A full stomach of stretch marks from being pregnant
    1 small incision in from of my ear from jaw surgery
    1 small round scar on my hand from a hot glue gun accident

    * faded stretch marks on both knees and breasts from gaining weight
    * a long, thin one on the inside of my left lower arm, but I can't remember what it's from.
