Armpit of DOOM
Bored one evening, I found that the tag of skin that I have under my armpit had got worryingly large.

So I cut it off with a pair of nail scissors, as you do when you're bored.

Didn't hurt in the slightest, but one thing I didn't realise was the amount of blood contained in your average armpit. To whit: Quite a lot.

In my frenzied, naked attempts to stem the flow, I bled on myself, the bed, the carpet, the bathroom and most of the kitchen, before wrapping myself in enough of the first aid kit to look much like an apprentice Mummy.

"How, in the name of buggery", I thought to myself as a large, red hand-print smeered the mirror, "did I end up here?"

And: "I'm shaving my armpit. Do I do the other one to match?"

And: "I'm blogging this."

Come the morning, I ripped off the industrial-sized plaster, only for even more blood to spurt everywhere. Only one thing for it: back to the blood-soaked kitchen and a red hot knife to cauterize it.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"

And:

"Oh fuck. Are you still bleeding?"

Skin tags bleed a lot
Doctors remove them by tying them up to cut off the flow of blood.

My grandad had a huge one...
...right in the pit of his back. Freaked me out.

Now I've got a tiny, ickle one just below my eye. I've learned my lesson.

I had one of those
On my neck, bellow the collar line.

I twisted it one day which really hurt, it then slowly turned black and fell off over the course of a few days.

No blood, though I did worry that I'd get cancer somehow.
