Scars with historyYou've all got scars: they're nature's little reminders not to be so damned stupid next time. My favourite is the 1/4" round hole in the back of my right hand, created when I was 7 by my best friend putting a manure-covered gardening fork "away".
Tell us the stories behind your scars. With photos if possible.

Bloody Tiddles...As a very small kid, as in toddler, our family had a cat that was all sweetness and light. Being such a friendly cat it normally delighted in being picked up and fiddled... maybe not by a one year old brat. Cue me being on the receiving end of a ball of claws. End result was/is an L-shaped scar on my left thumb that has not disappeared after 30+ years.
Skateboarding scars are too numerous to mention, only that gravel gives holes.
Four scars over and around left knee due to ligament reconstruction.
2 parallel scars down both shins as a result of not getting out of a kayak properly (do not raise knees before getting arse out of seat...) when playing kayak polo and taking off the necessary layers of skin to bleed incessaantly.
Do emotional scars count? No? Thought not!
