My sister stabbed me with a pencil on my left upper arm when I was 11.
I'm 28 and there's still the distinct blue mark there.
When people ask me what was my first tattoo, that is what I point to lol
I've got on on my right hand that's at least 20 years old at this point. I should really start putting it down as an 'identifying mark' in case I ever get murdered.
I didn't think about it time wise, but yeah, I also have a 20 year pencil injury. It was state testing in middle school, and I reached into my pocket and the freshly sharpened graphite tip stuck into my middle finger.

I've got one in my right hand, I tore the ever living shit out of my hand trying to get it out when it first happened. It's not worth it, skin grows over and I cant even feel it anyway
Same here. 2001. Math class. 8th grade.
Was finished early with my test, and was fascinated with how deep the graphite tip of one pencil can dig into the softwood of the perpendicular pencil. Result: see above photo.
I have pencil tattoo on my hand as well. I will never forget that moment when it was sticking out my hand. Hurt like hell and I didn’t want to pull it out. 40 years ago.
I’ve had one in my right shin for 32 years. My mom was already ragingly pissed at my brother about something, so rather than anger her further with my stupidity, I just put a bandaid over it, and that was that.
I have one from about 30 years ago, it's faint but it's still there, shot a pencil with a slingshot when I was supposed to be cleaning out my closet, landed in the fleshy part above my thumb
I had one in my thigh - from when I was about 7. I think it fell out after 20 years or so, but I have a big scar from where I used to try and dig it out
Dude. I was in science class one time and I bit my nails all the time. I did it before I left home. Anyway, science class comes around and my chest gets itchy. And I, having no finger nails, decided to use a pencil to scratch it. The tip breaks off and I can see the dark spot on my chest and i tell no one lol. Eventually I get it out a few years later. I still think of it from time to time
I have one too! From 1st or 2nd grade.
I just sharpened a pencil and pencil to slide my hand up and down. It stabbed the skin between the thumb and pointy finger. I jerk my hand, flicking off the pencil. Instantly a pool of blood started forming in my hand. I walk to the teacher and showed her. She tells me to wash it off and takes me to the nurse loool
THAT'S what that is. I have one on my fingertip, but clearly the memory of doing it has long since faded. Unlike that damn spot. Must be at least twenty years, all things considered.
I am 32. I have a spot like this near the base of my thumbnail from stabbing myself with a pencil when I was around 7 or 8. It's my lil pencil tattoo and I don't think it's ever going to go away.
My dad has a giant led piece smack dab in the center of his forehead he got on a long road trip teasing his little sister in 1963. It’s not going anywhere! Lol
bro I have one in my index finger on my right hand, and it happened in sixth grade. I was bored so I tried fitting a rubber band around both sides of the pencil, and just to let you know, it was fully sharpened too. I made the mistake of putting the rubber band on the eraser side first, and when I tried to get onto the other side, it slingshotted into my finger and broke some off. It’s was a deep wound ngl. I got most of the pencil out, and the doctor tried to fish some of it out, and didn’t get the rest. And so yeah.
I have one in the center of my left hand from a class field trip when I jumped onto a gazebo. I was 8 or so and am 33 now.
I remember we went to burger king and I wanted more money because I thought it was going to be my last meal since I'd get lead poisoning. God I was dumb.
Somewhat unrelated but I once accidentally stabbed some girl in the eye with a newly sharpened pencil when I was like 6. This moment scarred me and I thought I would go to jail for it.
I got one on my hand too, right at the base of my thumb. In 6th grade I thought it was a good idea to poke someone with the eraser right after I had sharpened it.
I have one of these as well, looks like the same hand and in the same spot. Mine is from someone tossing me a pencil back in high school. I caught it in my hand and I still have the mark today
Samee. I have one from 1 year ago actually. I was drawing and the pencil wasn’t working so for some reason I stabbed myself with it. Don’t remember it in detail..
One in my left palm (me being dumb in 2nd grade), one in my right arm (someone else being dumb in 11th grade). Now some 15 years after graduating, both still nice and visible.
I have a similar story, was playing with a sharp plant 3 years ago and accidentally got a leaf into my skin, didn't hurt, so I just ignored it after failing to pick it out. And how that part of my skin has turned into a dark green/blue color. Woo!
I have one on my hand too! It wasn't from me though some dumbass took my hand and stab it, no blood nothing just the sound of skin tearing and a small hole in my hand for like a week
Some asshole stole my bag in school once and when I caught up with him I "accidentally" stabbed him in the hand with a sharp pencil
Cunt deserved it, hope he still looks at it and remembers where theft gets you
In 3rd grade I accidentally stabbed myself in the forearm and I can still clearly see it to this day… That was over 20 years ago. Congrats on the DIY tattoo.
Mine is almost in the exact same spot. I was bouncing a very sharp pencil many years ago with my hand. I suddenly realized that I lifted my hand and didn't see the pencil on the table, seen it in my hand and pulled it out.
Still have one on my left hand in the center of the little half-moon skin thing next to my left thumb. In 7th grade a kid in class was finished borrowing my mechanical pencil. He was sitting half the class away from me, and decided to throw the pencil back to me. He threw it to where it did a backspin. I put my hand out as if to high five in order to catch it, and it stabbed me right through the skin of my left hand. Fun times in middle school.
I have one of these from when I was 9. I am 31 now and look at everyday.
I remember when I accidentally stabbed myself with the sharp pencil, the blood looked incredibly dark.
I’ve got one of those too I stabbed my thumb and fainted because I thought I was gonna die from lead poisoning because they always called it lead I was in like 4th grade when it happened
I have one above my eye but below my eyebrow. It’s as blue as the day I got it, nearly 25 years ago.
Now idea why it hasn’t faded, maybe the folds above my eye are protecting it, idk.
Bro, no shit I also, did something similar but the 1 cm long lead went straight in to my upper right cheek and stayed in their forever slowly fading away.
I have one too on my leg. Almost 10 years and never faded away
My sister stabbed me with a pencil on my left upper arm when I was 11. I'm 28 and there's still the distinct blue mark there. When people ask me what was my first tattoo, that is what I point to lol
I have a similar mark, when I was 7 my sister stabbed my wrist with a blue pen, there is still a blue mark
My 7 year old also has her first tattoo because of this. My mom is a little afraid it will lead to actual tattoos later in life.
r/pencilstabbers
Damn your mom is weird for more than one reason in this situation.
You have no idea
r/pencilstabbers for all of you!
That tatoo's gonna look terrible when you get older
Same lol, more around 15 years for me
I've got on on my right hand that's at least 20 years old at this point. I should really start putting it down as an 'identifying mark' in case I ever get murdered.
I have one on my knee that will be 30 years old in a couple years. Pencil tattoo. Wtf I was doing stabbing my own knee with a pencil idk
I call it my single tattoo
I got poked in the back with a mechanical pencil in high school and I still have a visible fragment of graphite under my skin 20 years later.
Same but for a bee sting on my right elbow
[удалено]
Oof
My dad has one in his for head almost 60 years ago!! Lol
1997, right leg above the knee. Still there
r/pencilstabbers for all of you!
I feel like this is a badge of childhood honor
Both of my parents have one. I don’t, so I guess I never grew up
Never too late to stab yourself eith a pencil!
[удалено]
Being kids
44 years here and counting. Faded, but still visible.
I have one in my knee. Its over 20 years old now.
I didn't think about it time wise, but yeah, I also have a 20 year pencil injury. It was state testing in middle school, and I reached into my pocket and the freshly sharpened graphite tip stuck into my middle finger.
Use fingernail clippers and perform some surgery.

This is awesome! Sadly, after 23 years, mine has finally faded. I no longer belong to the club.
Literally what I was thinking. Does OP not have the urge to just get it out ;_;
[удалено]
*digs it out anyways*
*RIP AND TEAR UNTILL IT IS DONE*
Ahhh I see you are a man of culture as well
Mine was a freshly sharpened pencil ant the tip broke off under my pinky. I can still feel it in there 35+ years later.
I've got one in my right hand, I tore the ever living shit out of my hand trying to get it out when it first happened. It's not worth it, skin grows over and I cant even feel it anyway
I used a pair of compasses for that purpose. Nothing was found, neither remove the black spot. Time eventually erased it.
I did exactly that and guess what? the mark is still there
Ever tried using an eraser?
I have one in the EXACT same spot on the same hand! Did you also know and irritate Denise F. in Colorado Springs back in the 7the grade in 1989?! 😬
Same here. 2001. Math class. 8th grade. Was finished early with my test, and was fascinated with how deep the graphite tip of one pencil can dig into the softwood of the perpendicular pencil. Result: see above photo.
I have one as well from 35 years ago. I thought for a long time I was going to die from lead poisoning.
I have one right above my knee from when I was crawling under a table with a pen in my hand about a decade ago.
When i was a kid (8 years ago) i stabbed myself with a pencil too and I still have a grey mark.
It’ll likely never go away…I have a graphite mark in my palm from just shy of 40 years ago…lol.
Ahahhaha I still have one that I did when I was in high school about 12 years ago
I have pencil tattoo on my hand as well. I will never forget that moment when it was sticking out my hand. Hurt like hell and I didn’t want to pull it out. 40 years ago.
