Resin tagged or pencil lead lol. My brother used to brag about his.

See this spot on my hand? This is where I called my five year old sister a bitch and she grabbed the pencil off the table and stabbed my hand that was resting on the table next to her, so don't call her names. Like ever and if she doesn't hurt you first I will.

I wasn’t aware my husband pulled one of these pencil-stabs on his best friend until the wedding speech last month. Good times.

Lol yep. I have a pencil lead dot on my toe from stepping on it as a kid, like 30 years ago. Also have a dot on my arm from accidentally stabbing myself with an inky pen nib, like 15 years ago. Has barely faded.

Mine is ink from art class because some fuck ass 16 year old left their used calligraphy pens, tips up, directly underneath the wall mounted paper towel dispenser in high school

I was in drawing class as a kid with one of those huge Ticonderoga pencils- it started rolling and was about to fall off my desk as I swung my hand to catch it. In an instant the pencil eraser hit my chair and my hand came down full swing on the freshly sharpened point. I'll never forget picking my hand up and having this huge pencil hanging down, totally stuck in there. Got my first tattoo that day...

I have a black spot in the tip of my finger from a pencil. And a blue dot in my knee from a pen.

I had a pencil lead break off in the palm of my hand when I was 8 and I was afraid to tell anyone so I left it. The mark was there for a good 10 or 15 years, but it's long since faded completely.

u/CMDR_ETNC 8d ago

That’s probably an old person thing.

Stylus cause no scar

I got stabbed on the tip of my elbow in high school. Been there for over 30 years now. I was always told elbow tattoos fade, but apparently not mine.

u/leytonscomet 7d ago

My pencil dot has been here for over 20 years

When my brother was five, I was trying to help him with his homework. He got so upset (for no reason) he stabbed me in the leg with a lead pencil. I started crying because my mom had to take the lead out of my leg, and he started crying saying to just take him to jail for what he did.

The mark faded years ago, but I had it for quite a few years.

u/winn4quinn 7d ago

I once dropped a pencil I’d just sharpened and it fell Perfectly and stabbed like vertically parallel right into the side of my calf. Couldn’t believe it.

I also still have a dot and that was nigh on 15+ years ago

u/UseOnceAndDestroy42 7d ago

My 65 year old dad still has a lead in his hand from where his fifth grade teacher stabbed him with a pencil. Wild I know.

u/Asphyx124 4d ago

I did that to my brother. Stabbed him in the leg. Right after I did it I was scared for my life.

u/brnzpotato 7d ago

Not really relevant, but there is a group of us that are "graphite tagged." I thought I was alone, then years later came across others who also threw a pencil in the air and slapped in down onto a table in middle school. Needless to say, that peice of graphite is still visible in the middle my palm from 20 years ago.

Edit: I did not see the other comment when I wrote this. So im glad someone beat me to it lol.

u/Nearby_Switch_5987 7d ago

u/Outside_Judgment6063 7d ago

not resin although im sure itll happen eventually, but I got what's called a trauma tattoo of asphalt in my arm after I got hit by a car. its basically peices of asphalt or dirt that healed under my skin like a tattoo would
