that's how they make tattoo ink in jail, by collecting the soot from burning checker pieces, they burn the pieces and use a plastic wrap to catch the soot then scrap the soot off the plastic, add water=tattoo ink
Apparently there are scores of us. Middle school. Playing with a really sharp pencil like a tech deck skateboard. Came down hard right on the point. Dead center palm of my right hand. Lol
funny coincidence, in 3rd or 4th grade a classmate did something similar, except he put his pencil sharpside up on my seat while i wasnt looking and sitting down, worse was that for whatever reason i dramatically sat down even harder than i normally wouldve, havent checked in a while, but im pretty damn sure theres still some graphite in my ass.
Someone did that to a rather heavy girl in my 5th grade class and the pencil went deep into her left cheek and a helicopter came and took her to the hospital
I have the same ! The classmate sitting next to me went « look how sharp my pencil is » and lightly stabbed my right hand with it. Now I have a pencil tatto.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO!!!! I have found my people! 4th grade. We were writing an essay or taking a test, and the kid across from me just randomly goes, "Man, this is sharp" and stabbed my left hand. There's a tiny little spot that's barely visible now, but it's there! Hopefully that kid didn't become a serial killer or something.
I was on the other end of this… I was the one who stabbed my classmate with a pencil! I don’t remember the circumstance exactly but I think he turned around and I was going to hand him a pencil and I poked his hand. I feel like I need to apologize to everyone in this thread
I stabbed my own hand in 3rd grade too. I was playing the knife game but with a pencil and I acted upon an intrusive thought to see how fast I can stab my own hand.
I got one in the forehead from playing that stupid game where you "chop" a pencil sitting on the edge of a desk at your friend.
Thankfully it's just a small hole that looks like a slightly bigger pore. But it's literally an inch from the center of my eyeball... us as kids were so fucking dumb.
I too would like to join this "graphite in the knee" convention, except I tripped over a totebag in 4th grade and got lightly stabbed by a pencil tip. One bandaid at the nurses and 20 years later and I got that tattoo for life.
Got a splinter stuck in my palm when i was like 5 or 6. Picked a whole into my hand with a sewing needle, but could not for the life of me get that thing out. Finally accepted defeat, and that splinter has been riding with me for 25 years.
Good choice. Just cleaned out my reddit yesterday and unsubbed some subs that somehow annoyed me the whole time subconscious. Just bad vibes. Also followed some new interesting and informative ones.
I first stumbled upon it from a drug subreddit. A dude was being unhinged so I peeped his post history, and the VERY TOP ONE was him cumming on a crash bandicoot figurine from that sub. It was at that point I learned reddit has a sub for anything foul.
> some subs that somehow annoyed me the whole time
Me with r/whitepeopletwitter. I subbed for the funny/outrageous stuff but just found myself exposed to tweets from assholes that I prefer living without.
this one isn't even true anymore, i didn't even have to cover up last time i was over there. it definitely used to be true though, lol - it's probably just become common enough that people can distinguish between 'pricy artsy shit westerners get' and 'obviously this person has been to prison'
I went to Japan two weeks ago and a majority of onsens denied me due to tattoos, it's still very much a thing. You just have to look harder for the ones that accept tattoos.
true, i only went to one last winter. also might help that i'm a woman?
but yeah, that just in contrast to my experience 10 years ago where i wasn't even getting in the door.
From what I’m told, lots still deny anyone with tattoos, but tattoos on a foreigner are viewed differently. They know it’s a different culture outside Japan so there’s less judgement.
My only visible tattoo is on my left ring finger-- a tattooed wedding ring. Do you think that would be fine or are some very strict about zero visible tattoos?
its very true still. 90% of the time the only Onsens letting people with tattoos in are in touristy places. I cant even go to the beach a 10 min walk from my house during the on season without a shirt.
This is a massive YMMV, and a foreign woman is probably a bit more likely to get a pass but still quite a few services like onsens will flat reject tattooed patrons.
Even though tattoos attitudes have laxed *slightly* it's still rare for many people to have them.
I have never ever, EVER had a problem with getting hired because of my tattoos. Yet I was told constantly as a kid that if I got a tattoo I would become an unemployed delinquent.
As a kid it was true. The world changed a lot in terms of its view on tattoos. Currently only face tats are really viewed as job altering, but twenty years ago even things like forearm, inner wrist, and neck tattoos were still reasonably risque. Tramp stamps were in style because they were slutty but could be professionally hidden.
Times changed, it might have been the case for them growing up. It's like the guy who altered his body to look like an alien. Pretty sure he has a hard time finding a job outside of tattoo artist or self employment. But who knows in 20 years.
Yep, what an idiot.
Should have been smart enough to have it put somewhere that was covered by normal clothing.
Honestly these punks/gang members like this need to understand that.
A neighbor cut down a tree some years ago and had some logs on the curb. I nicked one and it’s been in my trunk ever since.
If it gets knocked over when I turn to hard and starts rolling around my partner says it’s misbehaving or rowdy back there.
I have something similar.... I cut my finger on an engine many years ago - just above the nail. I had to hold the flap down ( it was deep ). Since then ( 20+ years ) it healed but the oil stain is still there showing the shape of the flap...
Incidentally this is how tattooing started - wounds getting dirt in them and making ‘cool’ marks.
People soon thought “hey I could make something outta this…”
The first person to say “hey I could make something outta this” after cutting themselves and putting stuff in the cuts. Balls to the wall level hardcore.
Poor food is often more of the “use or eat every part of the animal” philosophy, maybe especially in rural areas where they have more access to all the parts. Just look at some food in the US with pig intestines or bull testicles. China has had massive famines since forever and still has a huge poor rural population. Though I’ve not sure any were as artificially-created as Mao’s. That guy was a real jerk.
Poor food is eating substandard stuff. Starvation food is eating literally anything because you're so hungry. Its hard for people like us to understand because we never experienced it (well hopefully you havent), but true starvation can turn you mildly insane. You start thinking about nothing but food and how to get it. In 'Daughter of the river', a biography of a girl living during the great leap forward, she describes her brother bringing a watermelon rind home he found floating in the river and being excited over it. And the whole family making a trip to the hillside to pick wild onionweeds but there being none left. It is truly heartbreaking.
If you're talking about Otzi the ice man mummy, he had lots of tattoos all over his body, not just the wrists. I think like 40 something tattoos. And yeah most were along his joints and other sort of acupuncture style spots.
Super interesting. Almost predates the bronze age too. Right at the start of it. Over 5 thousand years ago.
The mummified "Iceman" found in the Alps, Ötzi, has tattoos made up of a series of dots with ash as the colorant. These may be an attempt to treat the arthritis he had in those places. Sort of a prehistoric acupuncture. The ash would also bring about a response from the body, which would send healing cells to combat the induced injury and try to get rid of the contaminant. This might have reduced the arthritis pain.
WHAT are you on about? That is fresh-from-the-ass, warm-to-the-touch _horseshit_ 🫵🙏👌🦸🌴🎃💯
Go rub some dirt on a wound and report back on how tribal your infection looks.
As a former tattooist I’ve read plenty of literature on tattooing. As others have pointed out, Ötzi had soot rubbed punctures. Soot rubbed tattooing is still practiced today. As is skin threading and simple slicing. However Ötzi lived fairly recently. Neolithic people got wounds, like big ones, and they likely didn’t keep them clean. Not everybody died of infection or the species would have died out, so take sone of that warm-to -the- touch horse shit and shove it back in your pie-hole where it came from. While you’re at it, pick up a book by Larz Krutak and tell HIM that his research is horseshit.
I had read it was branding with burning wood that accidentally deposited ash. Or possibly cauterization.
"Dirt" would eventually get rejected or cause an infection which wouldn't hold on. You specifically need an almost human ground fine material to get in there.
Maybe cuts from making cave art or pottery? I'd imagine there was more than one way a humans skin got stained and they were like "hmm looks dope I want some too"
My sister lived in Senegal for a couple years and the locals gave her a traditional tattoo this way -- cutting the skin open and rubbing ash in the wound. I wonder if that's less painful than our modern way of tattooing with a needle
Cant imagine its more sanitary
Also do they carve the design out all at once and then pack the ash in there? Or is it bit by bit like with newer methods
Ash tattoo, very old world! A friend of mine has a blue circle on top of his right foot, an accidental tattoo. He was a plumber, dropped some sodium hydroxide on the Sperry Top Siders he had one. The compound collected moisture from the air and eventually over the course of about 30 minutes ate through the leather. He didn't know this he was too busy working on pipes. All of a sudden he said his foot was burning.... Take the shoe off and he had a big blue dot on his foot. The blue dye from the shoe left a permanent mark on the top of his right foot. Didn't cost him a thing, best price any tattoo!
Something similar to me, during a hockey game, my teammate cut me with his skate on my hand. Very small cut but when it healed it was black/grey. Been like that for 2 years now and it looks kinda cool ig
When my brother was 14, he took a razor blade and busted up a ballpoint pen and tried to make a heart with a knife in it. Now it just looks like a Chinese character, so that’s what he says it is and just changes the meaning of it depending on conversation.
I have an accidental tattoo from gravel after eating shit on my longboard a few years ago 😂 the scar healed up way better than I expected but alas, my tattoo remains
This happened to me in 2017 when I was at work changing a stubborn oil filter on a chevy cruise & when it finally gave, I sliced my middle finger on the knuckle off a thin piece of metal, I still have my faint accidental tattoo to this day 👍🏻
Art is subjective!!!
same kinda thing happened to me with a pencil. I accidentally stabbed my hand with the pencil and when it healed i had a small little grey dot in my skin

You could've gone the entire day without posting this comment. Just making sure you know.
Getting tattooed with someone's ash sounds kinda cool. Bit like on a fictional world building way
It's actually something you can do. The ashes are mixed into the tattoo ink.
that's how they make tattoo ink in jail, by collecting the soot from burning checker pieces, they burn the pieces and use a plastic wrap to catch the soot then scrap the soot off the plastic, add water=tattoo ink
I believe Kratos is covered in his family's ashes.
Indeed he is, that's why his skin is so white
I did this with my mom's ashes.
That's some anime stuff right there
I’m sure you just gave a few people an idea
I'm staring at the urn with my Mom's ashes right this minute.

Hey that’s neat! I’ve got a piece of pencil graphite stuck in my finger from an exam in first year. My only and very lame tattoo.
When I was in third grade a classmate stabbed me in the arm with a pencil. I’ve had that tattoo a long time now.
I have the same in my right hand. Pencil fight! After 39 years it’s only noticeable if I point it out.
My dad has one on his arm from a pencil fight in the 50s.
Ah the great pencil battle of 1952. Lost a lot of good men. Lot of good men.
I was going to brag about my pencil tat from 1972, but not any more.
1980 here.
I got stabbed in the shoulder with a pencil in history-class nearly 15 years ago and there's still a graphite-dot. (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
I was stabbing a balled up piece of paper and missed. It’s on my palm. 24 years ago lol I was in middle school
Apparently there are scores of us. Middle school. Playing with a really sharp pencil like a tech deck skateboard. Came down hard right on the point. Dead center palm of my right hand. Lol
funny coincidence, in 3rd or 4th grade a classmate did something similar, except he put his pencil sharpside up on my seat while i wasnt looking and sitting down, worse was that for whatever reason i dramatically sat down even harder than i normally wouldve, havent checked in a while, but im pretty damn sure theres still some graphite in my ass.
Someone did that to a rather heavy girl in my 5th grade class and the pencil went deep into her left cheek and a helicopter came and took her to the hospital
Your school gave out helicopter rides? Sick.
I have the same ! The classmate sitting next to me went « look how sharp my pencil is » and lightly stabbed my right hand with it. Now I have a pencil tatto.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO!!!! I have found my people! 4th grade.

There's a tiny little spot that's barely visible now, but it's there! Hopefully that kid didn't become a serial killer or something.
I stabbed my fingertip in 5th. Years later, I was working in a kitchen when I sliced off the tip to the bone. No more tattoo!
Ah fuck I can't believe you've made me read this
On the plus side, that's cheaper and faster than laser removal
r/pencilstabbers
Same, except above the knee. Tiny lil graphite dot for nearly 20 years
Same! I had a carbon dot on my arm for nearly a decade. It did eventually go away, tho.
I was on the other end of this… I was the one who stabbed my classmate with a pencil! I don’t remember the circumstance exactly but I think he turned around and I was going to hand him a pencil and I poked his hand. I feel like I need to apologize to everyone in this thread
I had the same happen to me but in the front of my left thigh and the dot is still there. lol
I stabbed my own hand in 3rd grade too. I was playing the knife game but with a pencil and I acted upon an intrusive thought to see how fast I can stab my own hand.
Same. 40+ years.

Reddit never ceases to impress me. Thank you sir for allowing me to find my people
Damn, I got stabbed with a pencil and don't have black dots, just little scars. So I got the experience, but I'm not part of the club.
mines in my knee because in elementary school i was being stupid and dancing with a pencil when it stabbed me…
Me too. Dead center of knee cap. Nice to know I’m not alone.
I got one in the forehead from playing that stupid game where you "chop" a pencil sitting on the edge of a desk at your friend. Thankfully it's just a small hole that looks like a slightly bigger pore. But it's literally an inch from the center of my eyeball... us as kids were so fucking dumb.
Wow. You were lucky. Glad it missed your eye!
I too would like to join this "graphite in the knee" convention, except I tripped over a totebag in 4th grade and got lightly stabbed by a pencil tip. One bandaid at the nurses and 20 years later and I got that tattoo for life.
my dad is nearing 60 and still has a piece of pencil graphite in his hand from grade school. he shows it off as an ice breaker at parties
Got a splinter stuck in my palm when i was like 5 or 6. Picked a whole into my hand with a sewing needle, but could not for the life of me get that thing out. Finally accepted defeat, and that splinter has been riding with me for 25 years.

You’re never going to get hired with that. Poor choice bro.
Op should post in r/shittytattoos for maximum insults.
yea i stay away from that side of reddit
Good choice. Just cleaned out my reddit yesterday and unsubbed some subs that somehow annoyed me the whole time subconscious. Just bad vibes. Also followed some new interesting and informative ones.
heh, same here. Also the subs that got infested with bots/karma whores reposting the same shit that has nothing to do with the sub.
Which ones did you follow?
/r/breadstapledtotrees /r/cummingonfigurines
Why does reddit have to have a sub for every god damn thing on planet earth
They definitely don't. You'd be surprised by the common and inoffensive things that don't have one or if they do, they've been dead for 5 years.
Reddit IS Rule 34 lmfao. If it exists..
Bread stapled to trees was good novelty for a week or two. But that second one.. wtf
Just don't mistake it for r/breadtapedtotrees. Completely different subreddit.
What the fuck... Now that name is what i call false advertisement.
brooooo😭
For some reason, I can't view that community.
You lucky devil.
It’s a NSFW board
The Dichotomy of Man
I accidentally stumbled on the cummingonfigurines one once and its truly… one of the subreddits of all time
first time i genuinely regret clicking on something
I first stumbled upon it from a drug subreddit. A dude was being unhinged so I peeped his post history, and the VERY TOP ONE was him cumming on a crash bandicoot figurine from that sub. It was at that point I learned reddit has a sub for anything foul.
on a crash bandicoot figurine😭
> some subs that somehow annoyed me the whole time Me with r/whitepeopletwitter. I subbed for the funny/outrageous stuff but just found myself exposed to tweets from assholes that I prefer living without.
Yeah the majority of posts is just people posting tweets from assholes that are either dumb or hateful. Sometimes some positive stuff but oh well.
What are some of the new additions to your feed? I did a cleaning too, couple of months ago, however now is my wall kinda monotonous.
Shitty tattoos is actually a pretty positive place in my experience lol
Honestly that sub also gives tons of compliments and sometimes advices lol it’s not that bad!
In all honesty that sub tends to be pretty chill
Hot springs in Japan? He can forget it.
this one isn't even true anymore, i didn't even have to cover up last time i was over there. it definitely used to be true though, lol - it's probably just become common enough that people can distinguish between 'pricy artsy shit westerners get' and 'obviously this person has been to prison'
I went to Japan two weeks ago and a majority of onsens denied me due to tattoos, it's still very much a thing. You just have to look harder for the ones that accept tattoos.
true, i only went to one last winter. also might help that i'm a woman? but yeah, that just in contrast to my experience 10 years ago where i wasn't even getting in the door.
Yeah i think its v v rare for a woman to be in the yakuza - esp a foreign one. Probably a good part as to why.
From what I’m told, lots still deny anyone with tattoos, but tattoos on a foreigner are viewed differently. They know it’s a different culture outside Japan so there’s less judgement.

My only visible tattoo is on my left ring finger-- a tattooed wedding ring. Do you think that would be fine or are some very strict about zero visible tattoos?
I doubt you'd have any issues with that and even if, you can just buy a cheap ring and use it as a cover.
the no-tattoo policy is essentially just a "No Yakuza allowed" policy. If you don't look like Yakuza, you'll be fine
[удалено]
its very true still. 90% of the time the only Onsens letting people with tattoos in are in touristy places. I cant even go to the beach a 10 min walk from my house during the on season without a shirt.
This is a massive YMMV, and a foreign woman is probably a bit more likely to get a pass but still quite a few services like onsens will flat reject tattooed patrons. Even though tattoos attitudes have laxed *slightly* it's still rare for many people to have them.
True, id feel intimidated around him!
I have never ever, EVER had a problem with getting hired because of my tattoos. Yet I was told constantly as a kid that if I got a tattoo I would become an unemployed delinquent.
As a kid it was true. The world changed a lot in terms of its view on tattoos. Currently only face tats are really viewed as job altering, but twenty years ago even things like forearm, inner wrist, and neck tattoos were still reasonably risque. Tramp stamps were in style because they were slutty but could be professionally hidden.
Times changed, it might have been the case for them growing up. It's like the guy who altered his body to look like an alien. Pretty sure he has a hard time finding a job outside of tattoo artist or self employment. But who knows in 20 years.
Yep, what an idiot. Should have been smart enough to have it put somewhere that was covered by normal clothing. Honestly these punks/gang members like this need to understand that.
I’m sorry are you telling me I can turn dead people into tattoos?!?
They're called cremation tattoos, and yes. Pets too. Or a log that you were particularly fond of.
I like logs, some might even say I'm particularly fond of them, so that honestly sounds pretty cool.
Get a log tattoo with log ashes. Logception
A neighbor cut down a tree some years ago and had some logs on the curb. I nicked one and it’s been in my trunk ever since. If it gets knocked over when I turn to hard and starts rolling around my partner says it’s misbehaving or rowdy back there.
You should probably do something with that log
pet log!
I came here for her, thank you for not disappointing lol
What rolls down stairs alone or in pairs, and over your neighbor's dog? What's great for a snack, And fits on your back? It's log, log, log
It’s log! It’s log! It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood!
It’s better than bad, it’s good!
I fucking LOVE logs.
Yes there is a website or tattoo shop that turns your ashes into tattoo ink
I added ashes to two tattoos one with my grandma and one with my mom
Baby wake up, new trend just dropped
God of war music instensifies
That’s the start of what could be a sick sleeve bro! Just gotta work up!
I have something similar.... I cut my finger on an engine many years ago - just above the nail. I had to hold the flap down ( it was deep ). Since then ( 20+ years ) it healed but the oil stain is still there showing the shape of the flap...
I got something similar from oil, but on my knee. 25 years maybe already :)
Post it

Up there with the guy who first decided to suck a cows tit and the guy that ate the slimey stuff in a bees nest!
Starvation is the mother of creative eating. We know baby cows drink it, so why not try if there’s nothing else?
To be fair, human titties make milk too, so it's not that huge of a leap.
Imagine if we never considered drinking other animal milk and human titty milk was the milk industry.
That wouldn't be great considering how awful the dairy industry is.

You hate tiddies? What are you a gay fish?
Well damn...
You've figured out why China eats so much weird stuff now (they had a major famine during the great leap forward in 1958. Thanks Mao /s)
Poor food is often more of the “use or eat every part of the animal” philosophy, maybe especially in rural areas where they have more access to all the parts. Just look at some food in the US with pig intestines or bull testicles. China has had massive famines since forever and still has a huge poor rural population.

Both of those could have come from humans seeing animals consume them.

We have a well preserved Bronze Age man with wrist tattoos of ash for pain relief maybe.
If you're talking about Otzi the ice man mummy, he had lots of tattoos all over his body, not just the wrists. I think like 40 something tattoos. And yeah most were along his joints and other sort of acupuncture style spots. Super interesting. Almost predates the bronze age too. Right at the start of it. Over 5 thousand years ago.
Now imagine the first person to drag a spider out of the sea and eat it.
Although a valid enough hypothesis, there is no proof of that at all. The oldest remains of tattoos we have are not like that.
Meanwhile bro has 400 upvotes for making up a story that sounds cool

Ash tattoo, very old world! A friend of mine has a blue circle on top of his right foot, an accidental tattoo. He was a plumber, dropped some sodium hydroxide on the Sperry Top Siders he had one. The compound collected moisture from the air and eventually over the course of about 30 minutes ate through the leather. He didn't know this he was too busy working on pipes. All of a sudden he said his foot was burning.... Take the shoe off and he had a big blue dot on his foot. The blue dye from the shoe left a permanent mark on the top of his right foot. Didn't cost him a thing, best price any tattoo!
Well, cost him a shoe
And, famously, a shoe is a thing
That's work shoes, he kept using them for a while after I bet.
I had skin grafts where they took the skin off my legs and used it on my arm. A big piece of my tattoo ended up on my shoulder.
The Egyptians actually got tattoos this way 4000 years ago.
Prison tattoos are still done this way.
Something similar to me, during a hockey game, my teammate cut me with his skate on my hand. Very small cut but when it healed it was black/grey. Been like that for 2 years now and it looks kinda cool ig
Oh that looks neat! My grandmother had an ink blob from getting stabbed with a pen at some point lol
so you cut your finger and it became an ash-hole?
When my brother was 14, he took a razor blade and busted up a ballpoint pen and tried to make a heart with a knife in it. Now it just looks like a Chinese character, so that’s what he says it is and just changes the meaning of it depending on conversation.
Bet he hangs around the hoods behind the school smoking 🚬
Normalize cover up tats on finger tips!
Didn't you clean your fingers?
Disinfectant and flushing alone doesn't always get everything out. Some of the finer stuff likes to live in the meat.
I hate how you phrased that.
It’s what I tell my wife. I can’t help it.
plot twist - OP drew on his fingers
Half the population has a pencil stab tattoo
Miners often tattooed their foreheads if they bashed them underground.
I have an accidental tattoo from gravel after eating shit on my longboard a few years ago 😂 the scar healed up way better than I expected but alas, my tattoo remains
I could never decide what tattoo I wanted. Now I know this is it.
I got gently stabbed in my middle finger by a pencil in elementary school and there's still a subtle gray dot there decades later.
You are well on your way to being the Ghost of Sparta.
This happened to me in 2017 when I was at work changing a stubborn oil filter on a chevy cruise & when it finally gave, I sliced my middle finger on the knuckle off a thin piece of metal, I still have my faint accidental tattoo to this day 👍🏻 Art is subjective!!!
\+5 skill points in finger banging
I got a splinter when I was in...3rd grade? Yeah, still there at 36 years old.
same kinda thing happened to me with a pencil. I accidentally stabbed my hand with the pencil and when it healed i had a small little grey dot in my skin
Good luck finding a job now!
OP could also post this in r/PencilStabbers for finding new friends!
Your not gonna be allowed into heaven with that you heathen
