      I have one too! When I thought there was something in there, the doctor actually cut it open and dug around for it.. got nothing but the mark still remains lol

      That was before I knew it was a graphite mark lol

    2. I also have one on the middle of my right palm from approximately 13 years ago.

      I was being an idiot, held the pencil by the tip then slammed my hand on the table. Thankfully it slid off without further puncturing my palm.

    3. That’s wild – I have one on my thigh from when a super mean girl stabbed me with a pencil in grade school and I’m over 50! That little friend is yours forever, maybe name him 🙂

    4. got one in my leg from high school, back in ’94 lol

      was running up stairs and accidently stabbed myself

    5. My sister gave me one maybe 25 years ago! I’m sad that it kinda started fading lol. I can’t imagine getting one on the palm of one’s hands I feel it would be more painful!

    6. Fun-fact how this happens is actually due to bigger pieces of graphite being stuck under your skin, your body is very well at cleaning up smaller parts of the graphite and it breaks the graphite to pieces as much as it can but the bigger chunks of the graphite are too big for your body to absorb so it just heals around it that’s why you can see it stuck under your skin after 19 years😭

    7. Nice one. I have a similar pencil tattoo from when a kid threw a pencil at me in biology class in 10th grade. Mine is on my nose.

      I have one too, one my right hand from when I was 10. I went to grab a pencil out of my friends hand and it went into my palm. It’s been hanging out for 30 years but I believe mine is graphite and doctors have never been concerned by it.

    9. My grandad has one on the inside of one of his fingers. Says he got it when he was about 10, he’s 78 now!

    10. My sister gave me one just above my chin 50-something years ago. It faded away after 30 years.

    11. i have one cause my younger sister stabbed me in the leg.. really cool to see other people have them too

    12. Wow bro i have the same thing but just about 1 inch to the right

      Lol i thought i was the only one?!!?

    13. Dr. Pimple Popper extracted 20 year-old graphite from a woman’s finger… it still wrote perfectly after extraction.
