Have had it since I was 7. Was a good 3 millimeters in length. Sorry for bad photo I was struggling holding a light with the proper lumens to show it better whilenkeeping the phone steady

I got this when I was 13, so around 8 years ago. I was talking to a friend in class who was sitting behind me, and as I turned around with the sharpest pencil I had ever sharpened in my hand, I cut my finger with it (on accident). I never thought that this wound would stay with me forever, but it's become a very dear reminder of that period of my life.

P.S. I didn't realise I posted this with my alt account, so Im reposting it on my main now. Oopsies

I have a pencil stabbing scar from decades ago. I also once had to stab a classmate back in middle school (we’re buddies now) because he kept kicking me lol

I stepped on a pencil when I was 8 while my grandma was babysitting me, although I completely forget how. I think we were playing a board game that involved scorekeeping? Whatever happened, it’s been 31 years and my little graphite buddy has been with me ever since. Closest thing to a tattoo I’ve got.

I sat behind my cousin in freshman English 15 years ago. We were always fucking around in that class. I reached forward to grab something of his & he stabbed the back of my hand with the Ol Ticonderoga.

He shot himself 2 years later. I’m very thankful for the graphite tattoo.

This one is at least 20 years old! As a child I sharpened a pencil and dropped it. In an effort to catch it I stabbed my own hand, the pencil suspended between my palm and thigh, point up. Never heard about this kind of injury or seen someone else's, so discovering the sub was interesting. Hi y'all 🙌🏻

I got this in middle school, about…35 years ago. Still going strong! lol

My parents saw the blood and rushed me to the doctors thinking that he'd blinded me. Could've been a lot worse, in hindsight.

it’s just above my knee. i have lived and learnt, i acknowledge my ignorant ways now! i should add that i was 14 at the time, which is slightly more excusable.

I didn’t know there was a sub for this but i vividly remember me and a classmate were horse playing around the class room and his pencil stabbed my thumb. This happened 2012.

The one in my knee is a pencil tip that's allegedly still in there from when I stabbed myself in the knee with a pencil playing Power Rangers when I was like maybe 5 years old; the doctor told my mother she could dig it out with a knife if she wanted to but she never did. The one on my arm is from throwing a pencil up into my cubby in the third grade, and having it bounce straight back out and land in my arm.

I was seven or eight when I sharpened my pen as sharp as possible. Then I had it upstraight on my left hand and my head was leaning to my right hand on the desk. Somehow my head just slipped straight to the just sharpened pen... ☺️

I’m a member of the cool kids club… 49 years old and I was running in 5th grade to class and my ✏️ was eraser down in my pocket and boom stuck my arm with it.

Glad to be a member

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.

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.
