The Larch

One on my left elbow, that I got after falling down from a bike when I was 12. I was staying with my cousins, and my older cousin dared me to go down a flight of stairs thay had on their garden with our bikes. He managed to do it, I crashed hard. I also refused to get it stitched, so the scar is a bit messy looking, instead of a straight line..

Valdemar

3-4 two big ones on the elbows from falling of a friends shoulders as a kid, a few on wrists and forearms from smashing my fist through a window as a youngster.

I used to have a very pretty grid work scar all over my bum, well into my twenties, from burning myself as a little kid when I was drying off after a bath in front of a radiator.

Iormlund

The only big scar I have is the one from surgery. Something like 15 or so cm, starting above the belly button and going down to where the belly ends.

Some types of scars can be cool. Fellow kids used to think the scar over my eye was cool, so I cooked up all kinds of stories about how I got it.

The real reason: tripping when I was a toddler and coming millimeters away from gouging my eye out with an exposed nail from a sofa my parents' landlord refused to get rid of.

...Fifteen minutes later, I got to watch an entire sofa thrown out a third-story window. Guess there was some entertainment to be had from it, after all. :D

1, I stepped on a broken beer bottle in Lake Laguna on Stanford Campus.

but I have about 9 half inch scars from removed birth marks after being sun burned repeatedly while young in california.

Edit: I once convinced a girl they were bullet holes.

I've got three long scars on my chest for refusing to give Zorro the keys to the prison.   :(
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

One on my forehead from when I was a kid and had a stiches there and one on my leg which just randomly appeared at some point in my teenage years when I scratched it rather deep and long.
