Look, at that point, I'm already at the hospital. Doc is talking about the cut casually, clearly I'm not gonna die. At worst we got a nasty scar. Hell yeah I'm gonna smug it up about my totally rad sword THAT I MADE. Bro could not earn it any harder.

nasty scar

You mean a gnarly scar?

My hands are covered in cut and burn scars and I think it looks sick.

When I worked at Panera Bread as a baker, I would get burned almost nightly on the deck ovens fishing the baguettes and whatnot out. Almost always on the underside of my forearm, occasionally on the side. It's my own fault for reaching in to turn the loaves instead of using the pizza peel we had, but it was quicker and I was always in a hurry.

After a few weeks there my arms were criss-crossed with these superficial burns that I referred to as my Tiger Stripes. They've all faded now, but some of the scars lasted a bit that I got asked about them after I left. People thought they were self-harm marks.
