I was just wondering how many scarrs everyone had. I have 17 total, but the wierd thing that 10 of those are on my left hand. I guess that I have a hard time keeping my left hand out of trouble Of these I only had a total of 8 stitches.

Probally the stupidest scar I have is an eraser burn on my left hand about 2 1/2 inches long. Girls can make a 5th grader do some stupid things...

Too many to count, got a huge 10" long one on my arm though from a pruning saw that tried to cut my arm off. I have about 3 razor cuts right now that will probably scar up. Been repairing an office. Bound to get hurt doing that.

I actually have been lucky all 21 years of my life and I only have one scar. It is from a two inch cut on my left palm from a box knife accident three years ago.

Too damned many. Off hand, at least 15 that are an inch or larger. Largest is about a foot long across my back. Coolest one has to be the one on my middle finger on my left hand. Always fun showing people that one.

most of my injuries have been internal, broken bones and the like, I am pretty scar-free.

I have about an 8 inch scar running from below my navel to right below my sternum. I had exploratory abdominal surgery a few times. I never notice the scar any more. Other than that, I have a scar on my left earlobe. When I was little, I enjoyed spinning around and around to get myself dizzy. I spun around and around in my parents' kitchen and collided with the corner of the kitchen counter. Lot's of blood, but just a few stitches.

lots of em...the bigest is an apendectomy scar about 6in long. my apendix had burst so they wasted no time hacking me open. I have so many others it's impossible to count.

how many scars do i have?
way too many too many to count...

some of the more interesting ones though(at least i think so):

-i have three, very distinct, side-by-side vertical lines through my right eyebrow, where i had my old eyebrow piercing ripped out on three seperate occasions. this one(/these three - whatever) seems cool to me just because it's so subtle and most people never notice it, yet the scars retained the original shape of the wound in such a way that once i do point it out to someone, it suddenly becomes very noticeable and it's really clear what happened

-on my left hand i've got a line running from where the webbing between my thumb and forefinger starts, up the side of my hand/index finger, then up towards the first knuckle. it was a fairly deep cut at the time, almost to the bone at the deepest end near the knuckle(i'm actually lucky i didn't fuck up any nerves or anything), and i ended up needing five stitches towards the deep end of the cut. it was a "kitchen accident", i was cutting corn (for those of you who only get the canned stuff, i mean i was cutting corn off the cob, to cook and then freeze) and holding the cob in my left hand and knife in my right.(i'm left handed and should never have had a knife in my right, but my hands were getting tired/sore and i was trying somthing new - a mistake in this case). well, working at a new/odd angle i managed to slip with the knife - both hands were pretty slippery too, both with water and juice from the corn - and cut all the way across/through that webbing and the first section of my index finger. anyway, after a whole lot of bullshit(my mom was freaking out, and so was my dad, in his own way; i was the only calm one - i had already rinsed the wound, wrapped up my hand, and cleaned the blood out of the sink before i went to them) and waiting around while they debated what to do, my folks finally drove me to urgent care(it's like the next step down from the emergency room, for stuff that isn't major but still needs medical attention). then i got stitches for the first time ever, and (apparently)shocked the docter, who was amazed that i not only wasn't squeamish, but was trying to get a better view of what she was doing. aside from it being my first time going to the hospital for an "emergency," and my first time getting stitches, i also think this is one of my cooler scars because of the way it seems to change - when my had is flat/extended, it's curvy, but if i make a circle with my thumb and first finger it's a super-straight line, because that's the way the knife went in. plus, there's still five little dots on each side of the line where the stitches were.

-i've got a place on my right cheek, about an inch below my eye, where it looks like a piece of the flesh was "chipped" out. i actually don't really remember getting this one. from what my mom tells me, at some point when i had only recently learned to walk, i was playing around near our fireplace, and managed to fall and hit my face on the brick hearth. the only injury i got was a slight scrape on my cheek, which hardly even bled at the time. but apparently as my face grew, that little bit of missing flesh made a difference. even though the scar is small, maybe slightly over a 1 cm wide, it's relatively deep, and although it doesn't stand out terribly it is still noticeable. i've just alway thought it was interesting how such a tiny scrape at such a young age grew into a much larger scar as i grew up.

-i've also got a sort of "double scar", it's a line across the bridge of my nose. the first time i got cut there was back in elementary school, i think around sixth or seventh grade. we were in gym class, playing soccer, and me and one of the guys in the class went for the ball at the same time and managed to run right into each other and bang heads. this was back when i still wore glasses, and we collided with enough force that my glasses frames cut into the flesh there at the bridge of my nose. the next time i got cut in the same place was a few years back, i think maybe my junior year of highschool. i was playing with my dog, both of us at the same eye level, he was facing away from me and i was just scratching his ears. without realizing it i accidentally hit a sore spot and he turned around to snarl at me as a warning... only because he turned so fast and we were so close, he managed to somehow hit that same spot on the bridge of my nose with one of his teeth and open it up again.

also, right at the moment i have three fairly large burns on my right arm (on the job accidents) that i'm sure will scar up pretty good as they heal

i have 3.
Small one on leg, car accident, one on my lower back, go-kart accident, and one on my throat from my gf trying to choke me with her 2 inch nails

GuttersnipeXL

The better part of both my legs is scar tissue....jumping bikes, car crashes, compound fractures are to blame.

I got a "G" shaped scar on my pointer finger from a lawn chair accident when I was three. Also have a nice gash on my forehead caused by falling into a corner of a wall when I was a wee tot....59 stitches later I was all good.

head from cutting a wrought iron ring of steel , which when cut sprung and caught me on my head. One over my left temple from falling on glass when I was a kid.Just to name a few

Lotsa little ones, but my main ones are two on my right forearm, one 6 1/2", the other 4 1/2".
A car knocked me off my bike, pretty gently really, but a slingshot kind of effect sent me flying; landed on the right hand and snapped the two bones in the forearm. One of the bones poked out! So they put metal strips & screws in there (permanently). Now I'm bionic. Well, I think so.
Pretty, um, icky thread. I love it!

GreenCloud

yeah... don't we just find the nicest things to post about....

I've got a good couple holes in my leg from getting hit with stray shotgun fire.. that was scary, lost 3 months of my life to dealing with it.. but it's not all that bad, the scars aren't huge..

Fun to talk about though.

Sparky

I've got a few. One on my back about a foot long from when I tried to go under a chain link fence running from the cops but I didn't get down far enough. Another one on my right forearm almost six inches long from playing with my dog when she got a little carried away. I have another one just below my knee cap from when I was about eight years and slid on some gravel while riding my bike at night, I still have the rock in my knee. Doctors said it was kind of tangled in with tendons/muscle and they didn't want to go in and take it out.

14 stitches, 4 of them deep, when I was 12 or so. Crawling in the back yard chasing my dog, I slid my knee forward into a shard of drainage pipe. Saw my kneecap.

1 inch scar on my left index finger from a computer case.
Was pushing out the front plate to put in a CD-ROM when it came free and my finger continued through and lid across the sharp metal case making a slice down the finger about an inch and a half long and 1/8" to 1/4" deep. Lots of blood. After a trip to the emergency room it was all good. Luckily it was at work and they paid the bill. If not I would have been pissed.

Water to clean wound + Glue to hold skin flap down + Bandage = $800 in their opinion
I saw the doctor for about 1 minute and all he said was "Dont stitch it glue it" Nurse did the rest.
Company Accountant was pissed too :P

Mine are on the inside...*sniff**sniff*. Rebecca Carson, in the fifth grade, broke my heart.


I have many, but my favorites are...

1. From my lip to just below the inside corner of my right eye. Ran into a barb wire fence when I was about 10. Sounds stupid, but the fence was in a forest and had only the top strand of wire strung. Would be worth a lawsuit today.

2. Shortened left index finger. Two words. Biscuit Cutter. (And not the buttermilk kind)
