Apparently, Pencil Scars Are A Thing And There Are More People Affected Then You Would Think
The Internet and social media really does bring us together. How? Well, as one person once put it: “it turns out we were all living the same childhood in different houses.” It is extremely pleasant to find out that someone living thousands of miles away from you, had similar experiences in their childhood. For instance, the majority of us know the frightening feeling of when mom asked you to take out that chicken from the freezer and you didn’t. Or when your parents would walk into your room only to find all the dirty cups, plates and forks laying around. Or when your dad used to fall asleep on the couch with his arms crossed on his chest, but would suddenly wake up when you wanted to change the channel on TV. But this writer recently brought up something new and made us remember the traumas we even forgot we had.
H/t Buzzfeed.

This is literally a tattoo. Pigment inserted in the deep layers of the skin with a sharp object.

I'm 71. Got mine in the 4th grade. Hadn't thought of it in years. It's very faint, but it's still in the palm of my hand. What a trip!

I'm 66 and I'd forgotten which hand it was in but yup, still there.

I love this thread!! I don't have a pencil lead tattoo myself, but this makes me feel more comfortable in the world somehow :-) maybe next time we can do dog bite scars or pox scars so I can pitch in as well :-D

I have one on my left hand from when I was four and I tried to do that thing where you pretend the mechanical pencil is a syringe and 'inject' it in you. I went a little too fast.

I used to have a mechanical pencil that was shaped like a syringe. I would freak my teachers out with it, but after they saw it was harmless they'd just laugh, raise an eyebrow, shake their head and walk away. These days I'm sure they'd ban it.

I..... I have three of these on my hands. Being a child who loved to draw, write, and run was not a good combination. But it isn't really that noticeable.

I had one in my hand and dug it out with a pair of compasses a few weeks later during math..I had to dig very deep and had a hole that had to be stitched (I am stubborn)...now I have a scar instead (facepalm)
