Several, actually...

--One on the palm of my right hand.

This one was from when I was a child, around 2 years old. Apparently I sliced my hand on an old stove. My mother freaked out, but apparently I was just laughing at it. I hope that wasn't a poor reflection on my sanity...

--Pad of left thumb

This was from an unfortunate dinner accident when I was 12. Moral of this story: never try to cut kielbasa with a paring knife! My hand slipped and I ended up driving the blade into my thumb. No stitches needed, but lots of bandages lol.

--Side of right index finger

So, I was being a good cousin, playing hide-and-seek with my little cousins when I decided to hide in a closet. My finger caught the strikeplate of the door fastener and took a chunk out. No stitches were possible, and since the skin was removed they couldn't glue it, but man I lost a lot of blood there!

--Side of left index finger, second finger joint

Stabbed myself with a pencil when I was 10. Pretty sure the lead is still in there...

--Upper center of left palm

Another pencil wound, this one from a mechanical pencil when I was 22.

--Left front pelvis, x2

Scars from my hernia surgeries. The first one went OK, but the mesh was recalled because it started to come undone a few years later. So, I went in for a second one. So far, so good.

--Mostly indistinguishable skin differences on my face

When I was 13, I was having a bonfire in the backyard when a spray paint can (that somehow made its way into the fire) exploded. About 80% of my face was covered in second degree burns. It healed well, and there is no real visible scarring, but there is a permanent difference in some ares of my face where the skin was melted away. Thankfully I just appear to have large pores there now. XD

--One long incision and 26 dots (left hip), two small incisions and 6 dots apiece (left leg), one thin line on my left palm, 2 dents (left quad)

Yes, there is a reason they're all listed together. XD As a pedestrian, I got hit by a car when I was 18. I had a broken femur, broken kneecaps, and a lot of road rash from that. The three set of lines on my leg/hip is from where they inserted the titanium rod into my femur plus the two screws. The dots are from the 19 staples used to hold the incision closed. The mark on my hand was from road rash, and the dent is a combination of an impact from where the car hit me and road rash. I doubt the dent will ever go away, but at least it makes for an interesting story. XD
