list all the markings you have, or at least what you are willing to share. (peircings, tattoo's, scars, etc.)
and how and/or where/how you got them and what ever other info on them you want to share about them.

i have 17 peircings on the body(none in the no-no areas, just not an option)

I've only got scars. Have several on my knees from bike crashes. One on my head from hitting it on a bed frame. Elbows from crashes. And that's all I can think of.

Hmm, I have scars on all my knees and elbows from a combination of martial arts and motocross. I have a scar from a rattlesnake bite on the back of my right hand, I have a scar from a stab wound in my lower back, three bullet scars in my left arm and shoulder, from 00 buckshot, a .22, and a 9mm, I also have a tattoo of a coyote with a big moon behind it on my back. I had some piercings when I was younger, one in my eyebrow and two in my lip.

scar on my left arm from a go kart scar in my thumb from being stabbed scar on head from being thrown into a tv (mean sister) scar on other thumb from punching a glass window and a peice got stuck in my thumb umm a bunch of snake bites and lizard bites scars and all over my elbows and knees from riding bikes

I forgot to list the various peircings:triples on both lobes, two uppers on my right, 1 upper on my left, all uppers are stretched, 3 chakra peircings(heart, solar plexus, and waistline), both nipples, 2 spine, and my tongue. Yeah thats it

then there are multiple scars on my knees from bike crashes, a scar on my chin from when i ran into a wall as a child. Martial arts have never given me any scars, at least not yet.

peircings :P ugh i see so much at my school lol

2 spine

never heard of them there.

I actually have a scar as a result from a slining accident. ( and people think that this is safe for the user)
 When I was first learning,I was still getting used to the proper release. One day, when I felt really confident, I gave a mighty heave on the sling, and forgot to release :o
  Centrifical force kept the stone in the pouch and I hit myself across the shin, right below the knee. It hit hard enough to bleed. :o :'(
   I fell forward, got up and cursed in several languages.
 to this day, I have an actual dent in that spot. I show it to anyone that is interested in my slings, just as a warning.

Still haven't hurt myself yet. Have gotten close though.

once i finish boot camp i hope to get a devil dog on my arm

i have a scar on my hand that is from my dog, whe where playing tug of war and he got a little too excited and bit me, pretty hard, i bled alot and could see something white down there.

lots and lots of burn scars

once i was being dumb and flipping this razor sharp machete and cut my wrist pretty bad and that was scarry.

lots of little scars form cuts and what not, and one huge long slice of a scar on my right hand from a cat always seems then "cool" ways of getting a scar always leave these little things that fade away but the silly stuff like leaves perminet scars.  :)

Yea I hate that. The only scar I have is right under my lower lip where when I was 5 or something I ran into one of those wooden puzzle boards. Kinda dumb!  8)

No kidding. I used to have a big nasty slash that went from my right shoulder down diagonally across my back, that I got when an épée snuck under my glove somewhow, went up my sleeve and across on a lunge.

"Yep, got thaaat one in swordfight...."

Admittedly, it's a little hard to see my back, but I'm pretty sure that it is gone now...

--- DtB, I know it's funny and all, but the typos in your sig are killing me...

I have a lot of burns on my hands from molten solder. I have a few scars on my arms from blisters(nettle irritates my skin for some reason) I have a medium sized scar on my hand, near the base of the pinky, from a scissor fight(it was an accident, i swear!), have this long faint scar on my palm from a knife slipping when I was gutting fish, this weird looking dent on my shin from a steel toed boot kicking me(stupid brother), and a burn on the back of my neck from a firecracker when my brother thought it would be funny to stuff  a lit firecracker in my shirt, I almost got it out. A lot of other burns I forgot about.. yeah, that's mostly it. Also have this really weird looking birth mark on my first thumb joint(near the hand) It looks just like a battle axe. Forgot to mention all of the bites from stupid dogs or snakes...

i have a scar on my left thumb. i decided to shoot a small model metal phantom jet from a slingshot, expecting it to fly for miles.  instead i got an impressive "kill bill" spray of blood, as the tail-plane sliced through flesh and bone, and took my thumbnail with it. painful, but amusing even at the time.

thats funny sounds like something dumb i would do

I was cutting a grapefruit and ended up slicing the top of my middle finger in half diagonally for about an inch.  Combined with the acid from the fruit, it was very painful.

Small scar on finger where I almost ran it through a pulley.  Working at a printing shop, they had this monster paper cutter with a five-foot-diameter flywheel.  Clutch was shot, it often stopped halfway through a stack of paper (we usually cut a stack about 15 inches high, probably 4000 sheets).  When it stopped, we had to turn off the motor and back the blade up by hand: engage clutch and turn flywheel backward, by pulling on the belts that turned the flywheel.  Pulled hard, failed to get hand off of belt before belt reached pulley on motor shaft.  Predictable result, opened finger to the bone but no blood because tissues were crushed by blunt rim of pulley.  Walked calmly to supervisor, showed him my finger and made him turn green, put Band-Aid on it, rode bicycle about seven miles to doctor, watched him inspect it, clean it out, get ready to sew it up.  Doctor put needle in one side of cut.

I fainted.

I have lots of cut and scars on my hands. I am a metal worker (a machinists). The one day me and a fellow coworker were moving a big piece of stainless sheet metal. He put his glove on and asked me if i was going to to do the same. I said no i was in a hurry to help him shear it in the the shear. It slipped. It cut the palm of my hand from the little finger to the next one over. A pretty big cut with a dull piece of sheet metal. Proably needed stiches but I have never gotten them. It healed up just fine though.

I have a healthy respect for machines...I have a small'ish belt-driven metal lathe and once left the chuck key in the thing and turned it on. It did a partial revolution and slammed the chuck key against the bed/way ...scared the living hell out of me. Thankfully I was not hurt in the process....it could have launched the chuck key at me if I had the spindle set on a higher speed.

We usally paint the chuck key a bright color so we don't for get. You had a belt driven lathe that will slip in a sitition like that, a new big lathe doesn't. That means you have to replace some sear pins and get yelled at. I have never left the chuck key in the chuck yet. That is the first safty precaution that they teach in school.

As for you shear you could use hand shears, vise, and vise gripps to bend and cut the silver. It would be the cheap method. Ebay has a shear there you might like if you want to spend some money. here is the link

I hope this is what you are looking for.

did you look at the link. I think it proably has everything you need. What do you machine.

Erm, scars all over my hands from slipped knives, broken guitar strings (hey! They are sharp!) my attempts at flint knapping... a particularly huge double scar on the base of my right thumb from a sharp piece of metal that was pulled out of my hands.
A scar just under my right eyebrow from having my head hit into a desk, a scar on the very edge of my left eyebrow from having a pair of glasses punched off. A scar on the right side of my jaw from broken glass... I have a really big scar on my left ankle from when a beer bottle was thrown at it. Scars all over my arms and legs from assorted fun things.

And I don't consider myself accident prone  ::)

Few small scars from dogbites. Seperating dogs fighting is no fun - although the worst injury I got did not leave a scar. Got my right index finger caught at the back of a dogs jaws, crushed the damn thing couldn't bend it properly for 6 months hurt a bit too. The ones that leave scars tend to just be holes where a tooth has gone in. sting a bit, but no big deal :-)

Quite like tattoos on other people, never seen the point of piercing, but hey, each to their own :-)

I've got a nice scar from a saber slash to my right forearm. Native American tatoo to left wrist and native style dolphin tatoo to left shoulder. Both ears pierced and I will occasionally wear a silver nose bob when going traditional or to powwows.

I'm thinking about getting a tattoo of a crescent moon with a single star below it. according to my mother, the night she found out she was pregnant with me, she walked outside and looked up at the sky, and saw the crescent moon with a single star below the lower horn. Always though it would make for a cool tat. I've got a teardrop shaped scar from having accidentally gouged open my finger with a knife on my left index finger, and a slash across my right middle finger from where a glass jar fell and smashed down on it as well as a scar across the top of the same finger from where a folding knife blade closed on top of it. I decided that I already had stiches in that finger, and didn't feel like going through it again, so I tied it off with a piece of toilet paper and a length of rawhide. Sucker bled for 6 hours.

kind of like one of the worlds flags - turkey maybe ?

I also have a scar on my right index finger from where a folding knife closed up on me. I remember it hurt like hell and I couldn't get the damn thing off of me. Anybody else out there with this red badge of stupidity?

I bought a nodic knife not to long ago. Well a nordic knife has a scandivian grind and no hand gruard what so ever. Well i was looking at it in the living room and deceided it was time to put it up. Well since there is no hand gruard the leather it the only thing keeping the knife in the sheath. I didn't push the knife down far enough for the knife to stay. When i got up the knife fell right on my big toe right on a crease. It bleed so bad.

abouslutely know scars or identiying marks
infact i am completely in didtinglishable from anybody else

Me too, helps me disappear into the crowd. ;D

Hey Lobohunter with all that hot sharp metal you play with you must have a nick or two! :D

Hey Smudge, "sticks and stones will break your bones", but whips and chains excite me! ;D
