Tell me the story of your scar

[NotaNuffian]

Flashback when a teacher decided to point at the back. I was at her arching nails to my eyes. Thankfully it was closed at that time or... ye.

Ouch

Miraculously, I wasn't hurt in any major way, but I couldn't stand for a complete few minutes; my fingers were electrifying even after some time.

Spoiler

Felt that shocking adrenaline before when my friend near me nearly got hit by a car turn a few cm near. Scary indeed it was.

Small one just above the second digit of my right index finger, cut my finger on a tin lid,
I was 2-3,

When my wife was dating a biker in the Kingsmen, she used to collect wrenches so she could throw them at cars from the back of the motorcycle when other drivers pissed her off.

She had... so many wrenches when we moved in together.
And yet, there was evidence she should have had many... many more.
So many empty spaces in those wrench sets.
So... Many.

Unicorn?!

I was playing team-up tag with a bunch of neighbor kids at night once. That is, the kind of tag where everyone who's tagged joins the person who's "it" against everybody else, "infecting" everyone in the game like a zombie apocalypse.

Well, I was the last person who was not "it" in the game, and so I was doing a mad dash all through the neighborhood area to keep away from literally everyone. As I was just in this mad dash, I ran through a hedge and straight into a rose bush. In a burst of adrenaline, I actually did a front-flip over the rose bush. This wound up focusing all the damage to my right arm, which was ripped right open by one of the thorns.

It didn't require stitches. Or rather, I didn't take a trip to the hospital for it, so I don't actually know what they would have done with it. All I know is that I got it really dressed up with gauze and a wrap bandage from my family's first-aid kit, and when it healed up it left a really good and thick 3 inch scar across my arm that was bright red for several months before it went to the usual pale color all scars have. We called it my "rose scar," which was an even more apt name during the time while it was that red color.

It was humorous in some ways, I think.

I was on all fours, with bruises and cuts in my knees and palms from gravel biting. The bicycle was lying in front of me a few meters away, its front twisted, and in my head, I was running all kinds of scenarios where it hit my legs or I wasn't able to withdraw my hands on time, broke my spine from the impact, etc.

The biggest fear I felt at the time, I think, was that I'd not have died. Even then, I was very suicidal, but living a life where I didn't escape unscathed and without dying seemed like a straight-up horror to me.

Funniest shit ever actually

5th grade (now I'm in 12th grade) my older brother 8 years older than me pick me up from school on motorbike, we went inside our hood and there were occasional goats in this part that we passed by but we never thought much of it until today one ran into the road and we slammed straight into it, falling to our right making contact with the gravel and stone with potholes and bricks and stuff (quite industrial part) and friction-slide ourself a good meter or so. But we both are men so we groan a bit, got up and head home while the neighborhood got outside their house to stood and watch (no one helped), the goat just kept on walking (chad). We didn't even tell our mom cus she'll ask questions and it'll be annoying (she's nice and loving but we have grown to dislike being ask questions for some reason)

She still found out that night tho, we didn't treat it or nothing more than just pour some water on and let nature heal, I had fun picking the scrabs and eating it afterwards.

Now I got a scar on the right side of my knee (ye know cus I fell to the right) and my brother got on his shoulder still to this day.

We don't see goats much often after that, idk if it relates to us having a motorbike accident.

That's why you wear helmets kids.

I have a small scar on my submental due to my dog. As I was descending the stairs, my dog barked from behind, so I turned around and spotted it running towards me. It suddenly leaped on me, causing me to tumble down the stairs.

To me, she was.

Reminds me that I saw how a dog nearly murdered a three year old.

While renovating my home, I accidentally cut my forearm on a piece of metal sticking out of the wall. Now my left arm bears a barely perceptible 1 inch long scar that someone could identify me with if I was decapitated and somebody dug out a left arm.

 

[RepresentingWrath]

I have Dermatitis. One day I scratched the scab, and unlike all the scratching I did before, it left a small, thin scar.

 

[Kalliel]

I have pretty weird scars near my shoulders because I work out and used to be skinny.
They look pretty cool though, no complain.

 

[PlatDragon]

The origin, appearence, number of occurance, name, effects in life, etcs.
Something that another could recognise.
Not the traumatizing one, don't force yourself.

When I was young, I had stretch marks over my shoulder and stomach which was worsen further from my nails from the itchiness when I was asleep. It was jagged purple but over the years most are now white. I like my scar, for others I don't remember their reaction except my mother's advice to not scratch your skin without cloth on top and so I followed.

At the time I was probably like 5 or 6 years old, holding hands with my little brother and spinning around in a circle until suddenly I assume our hands slip off and my head flew to the wooden table with sharp edges and hit the bridge of my nose with it, the same level as my eyes. I never had confirmation that this is what actually happened, I just remember that something like this happened and this must have been what led to the scar on my nose lmao. On top of that, apparently back then I used to tell to my friends that the reason of my scar is because dinosaurs stepped on my face multiple times and they all believed it. I don't even have any recollection of this ??

That sound like instant knock out so that's probably why you never had recollection my man

 

[RepresentingWrath]

Oh, I forgot about another one, probably because it's barely noticeable nowadays. Back in school I was playing a game with classmates, name 10 something. Name 10 cities, 10 games, and so on. The point of this game was to say them as fast as you can, because while you were reciting the names, a classmate would rub your hand with an eraser. I was not fast enough.

I have a multitude of white scars along both of my upper arms, as well as 5 or so livid-looking purpleish-red stripes along my left arm as well.
They are actually from a wide variety of things.
One on my wrist is due to an errant knife flying down from the top shelf. Starsdamn, that could have gone badly.
Three long gashes extending from mid-upper arm to mid-forearm are due to my now-departed bunny, may The Fuzz rest in peace. Be warned. Bunnies have wicked claws. They kick you with those hind legs and you are going to bleed like no tomorrow. Sometimes I have to wonder whether she had anticoagulant or something!
I have some eye-shaped ones (with pupil and outline and everything) carved in by a piece of glass, as well as a patchwork of raised, white lines carved in by broken glass over the years as well. A couple are due to kitchen knives, which are actually more prominent, having more raised flesh, being thicker, and having more skin discoloration. Presumably the serration doesn't heal as well as the fine cuts.
The stripes are long, curved scars around and along my upper arm. They happened due to my psychotic meltdown, which, I believe most of you of you are aware of, but if not, I'll tell you in the spoiler

Spoiler: Psychotic meltdown

A combination of a chemical reaction between a crapton of caffeine and new medication, a 3 month streak of severe anxiety/self-esteem, suicidality, and SEVERE depression that I hadn't really recovered from, a deeply stressful environment, and very poor trust issues led to... an incident. Essentially, went a little crazy: hyperventilating, stumbling around, rambling and apologizing endlessly, laughing and sobbing hysterically, and then cutting my arms over and over with a boxcutter. Had to wash my arms and my hands, enough blood managing to get past my sponging up of my long sleeves from my upper arms and little bit on my lower arms to get on my hands.

.
A bunch more purpleish scars from a stolen boxcutter. The scar tissue, at a certain angle, is all shiny and stretches differently than the other skin.
A few others are just brown discoloration amongst my pale skin.
A couple lines along my forearms are due to chicken talons. Those birds are adorably dumb little things. They need toenail trimmers though... Can't really see 'em unless you look reeeally close.

Outside of my arms, got an eye-shaped one on my thigh, and a big blotch on my heel from the rust-covered, razor metal edge of a pool door from when I was a kid.

@SailusGebel Reminds of the friction burn one of my coworkers had given me. We were playing Uno, and I was gathering cards for shuffling, and he uses his limb's lack of fingers, with symbrachydactyly, to rub the top of my hand REALLY fast and REALLY hard. I was the only one he wasn't able to make wince or change expression though, so I won! Booyah!
No hand noogies will change my course! Those Uno cards are mine!

It's a good thing that you're okay. I guess the youth can't be perfect since there is always something to experience. ...The bunnies are so adorable, but sometimes they cannot be underestimated. Hahaha

Slipped while taking a piss and smashed my chin on the urinal when I was a kid. Shit was bleeding a lot and I had to get stitches. I looked like I had a small beard lol.
