Who else has pencil graphite embedded under their skin?

[The Backlash Cometh]

Where is it? And have you noticed any changes over the years?

[some guy]

1. sorry if that was me.

I stabbed a kid in jr High with a pencil, and left a bit of graphite under his skin.

:hi:

[The Backlash Cometh]

4. Can you call him up and ask him if it has changed over the years?

[some guy]

6. nope. lost touch.

:shrug:

[txwhitedove]

2. Yes, in pad of right forefinger, a dot where I was jabbed with a pencil.

No change, except a little faded.

[some guy]

3. ooh, that wasn't me.

:)

[txwhitedove]

56. Ah-HAH! The fog of time has lifted and I remember it was YOU in

junior high! It was after lunch in science or history class, we were all talking about new color TV shows, you know, which was better - Jetsons or Bonanaza, and our family had the first color TV on the block. You flew into a jealous rage! Thanks for reminding me some guy gave me this scar so long ago.



;-)

[some guy]

57. no no

it was some *other* guy you're thinking of.

The only kid I stabbed with a pencil (and broke the tip off in) was in the right shoulder. That's how I can go through this thread and determine which ones weren't me. O8)

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. I have one that has faded, and another which looks darker than I remember.

Maybe it's surfacing?

[Tom_Foolery]

7. I have one in my right palm and one just above my right knee...

I accidentally stabbed myself in the palm, and a school friend stabbed me in the knee. I never really knew why he did it. It's been about 35 years, and they're both fading.

[some guy]

49. that wasn't me either.

:)

[Tom_Foolery]

54. If you were in the 8th grade in Owensboro, KY...

during 1975 and your last name is Harry, you might be the guy. I doubt it, though. :fistbump:

[mzteris]

8. my daughter -

stabbed in the leg by a schoolmate when she was about 8. She's now 30. (OMG!! how did THAT happen?!? #*($%()*!!!!!!) You can still see it, but it hasn't changed.

[some guy]

50. that wasn't me.

[hunter]

9. My junior high school pencil graphite tattoo was removed by abrasion...

... sliding down the streets of Berkeley.

It's a long story, but it's all related.

[The Backlash Cometh]

28. LOL!

[blogslut]

10. I got some on my leg somewhere

Can't even find it, it's been so long. Some stupid kid stuck me.

[some guy]

51. that wasn't me.

[blogslut]

58. It was an old babysitting injury

I never like that kid. I guess he showed me.

[Silver Swan]

11. My mother had one in her hand.

It was still visible when she died at age 90.

[Kali]

12. hahhahaha

great lounge thread!!!!!!

I think I have one on the back of my right hand but I don't remember getting it.

[The Backlash Cometh]

29. The only thing better would be a thread on tapeworms.

Have you fed your tapeworm today?

[shanti]

13. that would be me 2x

:eyes: one on my palm (caused by me, i think), and another on my hip (sharp pencil in pocket and running don't mix). they seem to be getting lighter, it's been over 40 years.

[snooper2]

14. It's a common injury in prison

if you are going to use a pencil as a weapon you better have been trained :P

[csziggy]

15. One on my elbow that is fading

One just at the base of the neck on the back that made a divot in the skin that has never healed over completely.

Both done by various sisters. They all have pencil stab marks, too.

[texanwitch]

16. I do.

I have it in my hand, still there.

[seaglass]

17. My middle finger, my brother stabbed me and it's about 40 years old.

It has not changed one bit. But maybe yours looks darker because your skin is thinning?

Hmm now I want to rip my skin open and see if I can get it out. :-)

[PassingFair]

22. I've got a dot on my upper arm where my brother stabbed me, too.

I also have a BURN from that bastard on my thigh, from
the time he super-heated a ZIPPO lighter lid and pressed
it on my leg, just to "see what would happen".

It wasn't easy being the only girl....

[seaglass]

24. He once whipped a golf ball at my stomach and knocked the wind out of me.

But yeah I think it was just part of the brother/sister thing, we got along really well - he was just experimenting.

Or maybe it was pay back for the time I stuffed Desitin up his nose or covered him from head to toe with baby powder. :-)

[blueamy66]

27. I had an older brother also.

I still have 2 scars on the left side of my head from where he shot be with his BB gun.

Hair won't grow there.

Grrrr.....

[PassingFair]

35. LOL...

how did you know it was my OLDER brother?

He was such a putz.

Still is.

[blueamy66]

48. Just a hunch.

He used to tickle me until I peed or sit on me and do the chinese water torture on my chest.

He died at a young age...wish he was still around to terrorize me. :-)

[MilesColtrane]

43. My older brother got me in the right calf with a BB gun.

good times...good times....

(It's still in there as far as I know.)

[The Backlash Cometh]

31. You might be right about the thinning.

[datasuspect]

18. OMG YOUR GONNA GET BLOOD POISON AND DIE LIKE CALVIN COOLIDGE!!!!1111

series!

[Bucky]

20. I think dying like Calvin Coolidge would be a wonderful way to go.

[LaurenG]

19. Me

I stepped on a sharp pencil when I was about eight. It's in the inside of my foot near my heel. It looks exactly the same now as it did when I did it.

[wysimdnwyg]

21. Since the seventh grade

That's a LONG time. Was horsing around with a classmate and got stuck just below my left pectoral. The last time I looked for it, it was still there with no changes. Of course, I have a rather hirsute chest, which makes it difficult to see the graphite.

[The Backlash Cometh]

33. That reminds me, I need to go to a Zumba class this week.

[some guy]

52. this one wasn't me either.

[Bunny]

23. On my thumb and on my knee.

I think one of my brothers stabbed me in the knee, I can't remember how the thumb one came about. They are way less noticeable now that I'm old.

[Maine-ah]

25. just below my left hip

I sat on my book bag in junior high and my pencil was sticking out of it and broke off. It's just a pale gray spot a few inches below my left hip, kind of the outside of my thigh .:hi:

[blueamy66]

26. Me!

I stuck my palm with a sharp pencil in 4th grade....thought I was gonna die of lead poisoing.

But, alas, I am still kicking.

It has faded throughout the years.

[VoteProgressive]

30. LOL....my sister does. I stabbed her in the leg in 1969. I get grief about it all the time.

[RandomThoughts]

32. That is a possibility with many people.

I saw that same stuff, although I removed it in my situation.

Basically some groups use 'drugging' as a long term punishment they feel they should impose on some person or type of person.

Some use hypnosis and spells in the same way, so that is mostly metaphor.

[The Backlash Cometh]

34. Sounds like you got stuck more than a few times.

Have you checked for lead pisening?

[RandomThoughts]

36. Battle damage, quickly healed.

Being stuck is not relevant, how you handle that is.


And yea, had a needle stuck in my neck at a bar. When I would not ignore a crime that was happening.

Was Poisoned by a GF that was after an insurance check.

Drugged at bars when someone put something in my beer.

Someone put shit in food at bar also.

Drugged at a facility I was scouting after my family was threatened.

Even saw a guy with a sniper rifle walk into a garage across the street, then a red light from a laser pointer while on back porch a few years ago.


And a few other things.

So still being alive, is a miracle for sure, thank God.


And I am still due beer and travel money and many experiences.

[The Backlash Cometh]

37. Okay. You win.

[RandomThoughts]

38. Its not a contest.

So it is not about winning, because my exact comment could be scene in many ways. :)

I am however due beer and travel money, and many experiences. :)

[Richardo]

39. Jesus, I never knew this was a thing.

:shrug:

I was stabbed plenty of times with pencils as a kid, because (1) I grew up with 3 brothers and (2) I'm fairly uncoordinated with pointy/sharp objects.

And I don't have any residual graphite or visible tatoos.

[Bunny]

40. Meh. You've obviously never met anyone who can wield a pencil.

Maybe someone who grew up with 5 brothers can give you a few 'souvenirs' of your own? ;)

:hi: Richardo! :pals: (<----that's us being friends again, after I stab you with my pencil) :loveya:

[Richardo]

42. From this day hence I shall call you 'Stabby'

When I was the aforementioned teenage junior-high-school klutz, I used to walk around with a pencil (and/or pen) in my front pants pockets. Many's the time I sat down and got a jolt of pain as the implement punctured me in what I'll euphemistically call "my upper thigh". Still - no embedded graphite remains.

:hi: Bun... er Stabby!! :loveya: :pals: :hide:

[Bunny]

44. That sounds painful, hon.

:hug:

Signed,

Stabby


:D

[Richardo]

46. Yeah, you'd think I wouldn't have to have it happen more than once

:eyes:

You'd think.

[MilesColtrane]

41. I have some in my thumb from when I was stabbed with a pencil...

in 8th grade.

That was 34 years ago.

I don't remember there ever being a substantial chunk under the skin, but what was there is still there.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

45. Me. Left index finger.

No changes.

[kentauros]

47. No, but it reminds me

of an autobiographical comic from the late 80s/early 90s. It wasn't Harvey Pekar, I know that. Besides, this had to do with a bar fight, and I don't recall Harvey writing about that ;)

Anyway, the writer in this story starts off with a piece of glass sitting on his pillow when he wakes up. It was a small shard, like the size of a BB, but significant nonetheless. It turns out he had been in a bar fight where someone had stabbed the broken end of a bottle directly down on the crown of his head. Some shards remained in his skull and scalp, I guess because they won't show up on x-ray, and they're inert, like graphite.

Over the years (I think it was like 16 or 20 since the fight) little bits of glass would slowly pop out of his head like that, pushed out by normal growth or whatever. So, y'all might see those bits of graphite eventually push their way out of you. If it's a really cool story, get someone to make an autobiographical comic panel out of it :D

[NV Whino]

53. I have one on my knee

I dropped a newly sharpened pencil on it when I was in grade school many years ago. Hasn't changed that I can tell.

[TrogL]

55. Still there after 45 years - just a smudge

[Lasher]

59. I had one on my palm from grade school, self-inflicted.

Son of a gun, I can't find it now.
