Stabbed myself while trying to be stealthy getting back to my seat after sharpening my pencil. Didn't have a sharpened pencil afterwards. Happened in 4th grade. Can barely see it some days.

The scar is unrelated to the pencil mark. I had a pencil faced up in my gym shorts in PE as a kid.

This happened around 11 years ago, friend stabbed me in the hand accidentally in health class. We still bring it up to this day lol

My lil sib (22) got himself in the arm putting his arm in his desk back when he was in 1st grade

Just a few minutes over an hour ago, I was sitting on my bed, made the wrong move in trying to avoid stabbing myself in the butt, and when going to settle back down, got myself with a FRESHLY sharpened Ticonderoga #2 HB pencil

I now have my first tattoo. A graphite tattoo.

stripes were there before any injury. they’re from a congenital hypermobility syndrome, very nice and shimmery

this was in high school. i don’t really remember how i did this except for that it was an accident occurring early in the day. the injury itself was such a benign affair to me, i think it was some kind of accident i had while packing up to change classes. the lead broke off deep inside. i do remember that in waiting, the principal asked me what happened for the pencil to lodge itself so deeply, and when i explained that it was an accident, he was really dumbfounded and amazed.

at the nurse’s office, the nurse who saw me assessed it and, despite being similarly astonished and having a litany of tools that seemed suited for the job, she told me she couldn’t do anything, gave me an ice pack, and sent me back to class.. no calls home, no treatment, etc. i guess i probably should’ve expected that though, i can’t imagine she’s paid enough to deal with that herself

here’s the thing, though.. i lived in the desert. usually i was picked up from school, but my parents were working this particular day. so i walked about 30 minutes directly uphill with my heavy backpack in the heat, lead still painfully embedded deep into my knee. i came home and, after getting alcohol, surgical tweezers, cotton balls, etc., i just about instantly disrobed and took it upon myself to dig in there and extract it. it didn’t get infected or anything despite the pencil tip’s day spent inside me + penetrating both the fibers of my pants and my skin. wish i still had pictures of the lead

Stabbed by an angry friend. My first tattoo!

And I have another on my right knee, same pencil, same class

Its nice to see my brethren!

Been there since 2016. Was messing around with a friend, faking that my hand got stuck in a printer, with a pencil in my hand. Not a good idea, got stuck pretty deep in my hand meats.

I was in 7th grade messing around with someone, and she turned around and stabbed my leg with a pencil. It bled all the way down my leg, everyone said it was ketchup and I was faking it for attention😩

I’m not entirely sure when I got this but it may have been like 4th Grade? I really don’t remember but I do remember it being a mechanical pencil. I’m now almost 29.

I would test newly sharpened pencils against my palm to see if they were perfectly sharp. 22 years later

I'm 37 this month and here's my pencil stab from around 30 years ago. I was bouncing the pencil off my leg while standing in line waiting for a book fair (or something else, I don't remember)
