I have a big 'ol scar on the side of my calf that goes into smaller scars that go to my knee. My brother and I had this little mini bike called a "Taco" and he was messing with it. Little did I know the brakes weren't working so when I went to go hit the brakes they were not there! I ended up sliding the bike and it fell on my leg and the chain just went to town. My brother told me to not tell my mom but after a couple hours I started to freak out because TW it was straight flesh and was hardly bleeding. It took FOREVER to heal but thankfully I'm pale AF so you can barely see the scar unless you look for it lol.
The only scars I have are from my surgery to remove a cyst on my ovary and do ovarian drilling. I also have two tiny ones, one on my arm from a baking incident and one on my finger from when I dug out a deep sliver as a kid.
I have a scar above my right eye from flipping over the handle bars of my bike and landing face first on the gravel driveway. Another scar I have is from opening a can. I was like 4 or 5 and my mom let me open the dog food can. I stuck my finger in to get the lid out and sliced my finger almost down to the bone. I also have a scar on my abdomen from a surgery.
I have a pretty nasty l-shaped scar on my finger from using a mandoline while drinking champagne. It needed 8 stitches to put my finger together again. I still only have partial feeling in my fingertip.
My worst one is probably the 6 inch scar on the middle of back followed by the 4 inch one on my side. Both are from surgery to implant my spinal cord stimulator. I also have a 4-5 inch on on my ankle from surgery as well. My stomach has several smaller scars too from my gallbladder removal and this newest surgery for my ovarian torsion. I have lots of little scars on my hand, legs and arms but those are all from being clumsy.

@ruby696 the bottom of my feet and palms of my hands tingled while reading your story 😬. Note to self: mandolins and champagne don’t work well together.
I have a pretty decent scar on my shin from a hot glue gun. I did it middle school and told my mom it was from shaving so that she would end my crafting!
My brother and I were riding bikes in the churchyard (this parking lot we lived across, with like weird gravel hills?) and I told him I had to pee & he said HE had to pee, and I was so upset because I REALLY had to pee. We raced home, and our driveway was rocks and I skidded out on it and busted my knee. Probably should have gotten stitches. I was just looking at this scar last night... Oh, and everyone always asks if I got to the bathroom first, and TBH, I don't remember, but I *know* my bro would remember & make fun of me for the rest of my life if I'd peed myself, so at least that didn't happen haha.
@kbrown2385 It was pretty bad and there was quite a bit of profanity. It was Christmas Eve, so when we got back from the ER, I had more champagne. Because, why not? 🤷♀️
I have a scar at the bottom of my belly button and 3 small 1/4" ones on my stomach/side all from my gallbladder surgery.
Most interesting scar is a triangle on my pinky finger, right at the bend. I actually cannot fully straighten my finger because of it, so it permanently looks like a hunchback finger. When I was younger (maybe 8/10?) I was cleaning the fishbowl. I was short so I used the bathroom pedestal sink because I could reach it. Well it didn't fit very well and I sort of dropped it and it shattered. Glass went everywhere, I was standing in place, twisting around looking all over to see if I was ok. I twisted one direction and felt something on my hand. Glass came out of my finger and it was gushing blood. ER visit, the cut was too wide and deep that I basically just had to wear a huge thing of gauze around the entire finger for a couple weeks. Of course it was my dominant hand.
My worst scar are the six or seven on both knees. I was a stupid 11 year old kid at the YMCA who was dared to run on the treadmill as fast as it could go. I lasted like 10 seconds, wiped out, and off went the skin on my knees. They have really lightened up over the years but you can still see it!

One day when I was little I was home sick doing homework in my parents' bed. It was super high, so I didn't see when I put my knee up to climb in that my super sharp pencil was sitting right there and it jabbed into my leg right above my knee. So not a scar, but a nice mark of pencil lead or graphite or whatever you call it.
I also have a dent in my shin from tripping on our stairs (spiral staircase with a metal frame).
I have little scars on my chin and one of my knees from falling off my tricycle when I was maybe 5, when an older girl who was a friend of some family friends knocked into me. My mom told me recently the girl actually seemed to do it on purpose and there was some minor drama over it! I had no idea.
Oof. I have a bunch, especially from cooking, but I’ll just post the highlights. I have scars on my shins from when I decided in 5th grade if I wasn’t allowed to shave my legs yet, I’d just improvise with scissors. 🤦🏽♀️ I think at the time I was still happy with my workaround. I have a scar on my heel from doing dance aerobics in my bedroom where I did some kind of move backwards into an open closet door...1 year post college. In December (just a few month ago), I closed the car trunk without giving myself enough distance, so I hit the bridge on my nose. Both painful and embarrassing that I’m still doing this stuff to myself. I don’t think I’ve ever been called graceful. 😂
My largest scar is on my elbow from pulling over a water distiller on myself filled with boiling water. I was a sneaky child. the skin was red from my pinky finger to my shoulder, but only my elbow had deep 2nd degree burns that scared. I have a U shaped scar on my finger from scissors, an another inch-long one on my thumb from a glass breaking while I was washing it. One about the size of dime on my leg from a rusty pool ladder, and one on my chin from diving into the pool. So basically I'm a walking mess of scars.
I’ve got a lot from 4 surgeries, plus a jelly jar incident when I was 2... but I’ll count this one. I was 5 and being chased by a boy with a stick. I ran to our apartment’s back door, which always stuck. My twin was on the other side and both of our wrists went through the glass while we were pulling and trying to get it open. I was bleeding everywhere, but only needed 4 stitches. She needed microsurgery since it hit a tendon.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
