re: Do you have any Hand Scars?

Inch long scar palm of my left hand.

Triple jumping in high school and I landed on my own hand. Felt the pop from the track spike puncture my skin, but didn’t feel it rip the skin a bit too after that. Luckily a little spike on track shoes wasn’t enough to do anything more than make a little gash that needed sutures to close. Flexor tendons all still work so no problems with masturbation

a lot. A few that needed stictches but I self treated

Three. Had a key ran through my right hand. Had a 60# dumbbell drop on my left index finger. Had 9 stitches from a deep cut on my left hand.

I have a scar shaped like a backwards “L’ in the middle of my right palm from being hammered and using my palms to break my fall and keep me from falling completely on my face in a gravel parking lot after penny beer night back in college.

Also have a scar shaped like a 7 on my forehead that’s way more prominent in the summer time. That one is from a buddy saying “think fast” one night and lobbing a vase toward me. I didn’t think fast enough.

I have a lot of little scars here and there that have faded over time, some of them from serious cuts and chunks taken out, but there’s one on the back of my hand near my thumb where my old lab’s claw scratched me about ten years ago that really stands out for some reason. I guess it cut across the grain of the skin, but it’s never really faded away and is raised. Weird because it really wasn’t anything but a simple scratch.

My dad has a clearly visible scar on his finger that he received more than 60 years ago when a blue crab latched on to him.

3rd degree burns to my palm, thumb, outside of my forefinger. Lost a piece of my thumb to a mandolin. Busted knuckles. Missing pinky knuckle on my right hand from landing a punch on an oak beam when a guy ducked

Piercing mark between my forefinger and middle finger knuckle. It was a wierd accident that never healed right. Finger prints on 4 of the 10 are destroyed.

Right middle finger second knuckle got a treble hook through it when I was young. White scar across it from me jerking my hand away from the doctor.

Permanent blood blister on my left palm from playing with a balisong while drunk.

They look pretty rough. Older guys who grinded their way up tend to notice when we are talking. Leads some creedance that I didn't just kiss arse to get my job.

I did. But they don't know that.

Yes too many years rodeoing and working have scarred them up pretty good

No scars, just hairy palms.

I have a scar on my left ring finger from having my hand stepped on playing baseball as a kid. I’m miss a piece of my left thumb from cutting meat back in the day.

Missing tip of my left index finger from my hand getting caught between a barge rope and dock bit. Deep scar on my right wrist from a tugboat rope in tension snapping and hitting my arm. Scar down my right thumb from said thumb splitting open due to being smashed between a metal hook and a joint if 5 1/2 inch drillpipe because the guy running the drawworks was a fricking moron. Index finger tip on my left hand was sewed back on after having it cut off by a rig tong. Chunk of my hand missing on my left hand between my thumb and first finger that got sliced off by a razor sharp carbide cylinder someone dropped which I was working on below. Piece slid through my hand and sliced off a chunk of hand like a scapel. Pebble scars on the tops of my right hand fingers from working with CACO3 and KCO3 that penetrated my skin, bored to my bones then made calcium deposits which eventually worked themselves out as white pellets.

Basic hand scars from growing up on a rig.

ETA one non industrial scar from playing basketball. I somehow managed to get my right ring finger caught in the net hoop on a basketball rim during a pickup game. Peeled off part of my finger to the point that bone was exposed. I was lucky that 2 nurses were there and that they peeled the meat and finger back down until I got in for stitches. That was some gross shite.
