Artist Question!

General
How many of you have inadvertently tattooed yourselves with a stab from a pencil?
I've got a nice graphite dot in my palm, near my thumb from when that happened. I see it as the badge of an artist :D

FA+

It's one of those weird lies that people tell kids. I've no clue why X3
one right under my right thumb and another on the bottom side of my left thumb...
I remember either one of them was because I got bored while drawing in art class and I kept bouncing the pencil on it's eraser and then catching it in air.... but then I tried catching it too early and bam
(actually I think both of them happened like that XD; )
He was forced to use crayons instead of pencils for the rest of the year for stabbing my leg twice. Other then that, not often. Normally the pencil keeps pointing down XD
~N~
I also has a birth mark that looks like a smiley face... but otherwise I don't have any tattoos... intentional or otherwise
i'm really not sure how that happened.
I do specifically remember waking up one day and going "Hm... That has never been there before", so I am lead to believe that it is one of these pencil scars...
Then one time my back itched, and it was during the semester of gym where we had swimming, and someone was like OMG were you literally whipped? O.O
I work with my hands a lot, though; not just art, but building things and mechanical things and fixing peoples' cars things.
Hurt like a motherfucker. Its now a nice tattoo on my arm.
If you see me without this blue dot, it is my evil clone. Destroy it!
They're gone now, but every time I go on huge drawing streaks, I get giant callus' on the sides of my fingers. :x I suppose that counts, kinda?
Accidental: A scar on my forehead where I was hit by a piece of marble while making a mosaic. A burn on my arm from a grinding stone, while I was making small brass sword for a statue.
Semi-accidental: While cleaning an air conditioner I got four parallel cut on my knuckles. I wondered what would happened if I poured india ink on the cuts... and yeah, the stain is still there 15 years later.
Intentional: I have tested ink or acid on my skin several times just to experiment.
