Do you have scars?

when i was 4 a cat jumped on my head and left a scar from my left eye down and on my lip. really freaked my mom out when i came to the door covered in blood freaking out

 

This...



Led to this...


Now this...

Busted my lip on a kneeboard. Had 5 stitches in it, can't get a pic of the scar it left (You can barely see it anyway). Cut was 1.9 inches long from the base of my lip almost to the gum on the inside.


Edit: Several on my knees and hips from baseball (diving/sliding), and one on my cheek from where my cousin scratched me when we were kids cuz I wouldn't let him ride my super awesome Ninja Turtle Bicycle.

 

got one on my back and one below my waist from kidney surgery when i was a little baby

three on my stomach area when the above surgeries didn't work and i had a kidney removed

one on my left leg from a machete that actually cut a lymph node, that took weeks to heal. mom's a nurse so i never got stitches, causes nurses don't take their children to the doctor.

one on my head from when my cousin and i collided and his teeth cut a gash on my noggin when i was ten.

both knees from just a rowdy childhood in general

and one on my left ring finger from when i was drunk freshman year and ripped out a wart with a pair of pliers

 

you need to wear one of those mid-evil suits of armor at ALL times

 

Cut the tip of my finger off Christmas morning a few years ago. You can see where we just pressed the old piece back on if you're up really close..the finger print just doesn't line up to the rest of my finger. You probably couldn't see it with pics.

I used to have a couple lines by my right calf from getting stuck in my bike gears in colorado...deep as hell and I had a two hour ride back to town.

Only other thing is my deformed (broken) rib but thats not really a scar

 

got stung by a Portuguese man of war (2nd deadliest jelly in the world) in key west a couple of years ago during decemeber.... chemical scars stayed for on my body and finally went away after 3 years.




ended up something exactly similar (although it was all over my bod) this even though that this is not me...

 

fuck those damn things.. Ive had tooo many close calls. They look cool as shit from the boat tho.

 

I had that on my arms.

Paddling, we went through box jellyfish, and getting stung was inevitable for me for some reason... Every season at least 2 feet worth of stings.


then I went bodyboarding in Kauai and got a man of war sting......


i hate jellies.

 

i shot myself in the foot...................................

 

winner!

 

I was kneeboarding and jumped the wake, nosedived into the water and the board came off, then shot up out of the water and got my lip/tooth on the way to the surface. Thought I had just busted my lip a little and tried to spit the blood out of my mouth, but felt the pieces of my tooth come out the split in my lip when I spit. My girlfriend was freaking out about my lip saying how bad it was, but I was just worried about my tooth. Saw myself in the mirror and just started laughing. My lip spread out about an inch wide when I smiled. The part that hurt the worst was the shot directly into the gash in my lip, then the 3 shots they tried to give me to numb it (they didn't work). I felt every stitch going into it.

 

One on my right chest about 4" long...looks like a centipede.....skin graft to rebuild behind my ear.
Behind ear....totally rebuilt.....not too much scarring.....skin cancer tumor removed.
Tip of nose has a concave scar....skin cancer burnt off
Lower right jaw line 1 white line about 3" long.....ex wife was drunk and clawed me. (LOL so stunned I couldnt have fought back if I wanted to...but 1 reason she's an ex)
1/2" long between right thumb and finger..caught under a stainless kitchen table sweeping at a restaurant when I was a teenager
Diagonal line about an inch long across my left thumb. Trying to close a Gerber multi tool with blade out

LOL I think that's all of em??

 

i also tried jumping a fence while playing german in the spot light (when i was a kid ) and caught the inside of my knee on a fence post and tore a hole about the size of 1 1/2 quarters and 2 inches deep. that was awesome

when i was 10 i was riding my bike and my friend decided it would be absolutely hilarious to cut me off but his back tire hit my front tire which sent my ass flying face first into the gravel. tore my chin wide the fuck open but it wouldn't have been too bad if i wasn't wearing my helmet cause the chin strap embedded itself inside of my chin. got 20 stitches but the scar is gone now

when i was in middle school (don't remember how old i was) i was chasing a basketball on the playground and i looked up just in time to run face first into the fence latch (the one that looks similar to a horse shoe). got a pretty cool scar in left eyebrow and below my eye but they are really visible anymore

i have a pretty big road rash scar on the inside of my left elbow. i have no clue how that happened (if you catch my drift )

the tips of my fingers are cut to shit from various things

and the story behind shooting myself in the foot....

ok well i was 10 years old and i was shooting a high powered pellet gun behind my house with a buddy of mine. i asked him if it was loaded and he swore it wasn't but i saw him break the barrel so i figured he just did it to make sure it wasn't loaded. i the proceeded to point it at my foot and pull the trigger. well by god the son of a bitch was loaded and the pellet embedded itself perfectly in my second toe bone and shot blood out like a damn water fountain. went to quick care and they couldn't get it out so i walked around with the pellet in my foot for about 2 weeks. a family friend of ours is a foot/ankle doctor and noticed me limping and i told him what happened. he ended up having to give me outpatient surgery to remove the thing cause my toe bone moved over a good 2 inches in my foot. i still have the pellet somewhere haha

 

Scars. Tattoos with better stories.

I've got an exact replica of a Nike Swoosh on my left middle finger and just a single line scar on my adjacent ring from rock climbing. Pulled out a boulder out of the cliff face the size of a cantaloupe and the larger melon sized rock above it immediately fell onto my hand slicing open my 2 fingers.
On the hike out it dried, but not before making my entire hand looked like I dunked it in a bucket of red paint.

Got a huge rash scar on my right forearm from biking. Chain slipped off while biking on Red Shale, you know, that razor sharp shit that they use for baseball diamonds. Foot hit the ground stopping immediately, followed by my pedal hitting the back of my calf and stopping immediately while my upper body went sailing happily through the air to land on both forearms and hands. Took off most the skin on my right forearm.

Both shins have literal chunks taken out of them from BMX pedals, one even has a knob of bone you can feel and move around. It's a little creepy.

Huge slice on my right arm from fucking around with a sword. Another just between my right pec and shoulder from a glass breaking.

Just too many to count!

 

Buddy accidentally cut my head on a camping trip. Was mostly my fault for being too close.



Shoved a 1.500" 6 flute end mill into my hand. Could see my ligaments/ muscles. Actually healed quite nicely.



Stupid cutting wheel...~10 hours of cutting and grinding that day...I wasn't paying attention. No scar though.

 

19 years of soccer, 8 years of BMX... my shins are fucked.

 

BMX is the worst for that hey?

My pedals were Primo "Meat Grinders".

How's that for a trade name?
