Apparently, I've got an 8 on me... - 10-05-2009, 05:28 PM

In Kanji, and in the form of a scar I got about 5 years ago. People have always been asking me if it was intentional or what it means, but I just tell them it was from an accident, though I've sometimes wondered about it. Well today I was home alone all day after a sleepless night, and decided I'd search the internet to see if it has any meaning. So it's an eight. Shows how much Japanese I know...

It's on the right side of my right bicep and is about 1.75" long, though it's oriented upside down and tilted a little counterclockwise (assuming my arm is at my side.)

I'm still not sure what to think about it, I'm just hoping I don't look like a jackass posting this somehow. So anyways, here it is.




(It stands out better in real life, my phones camera is just a piece of crap.)

Interesting coincidence.
A friend of mine once asked me if I wanted to get a tattoo of her name on my arm.  "there's no need" I replied "I've got a zit on my nose that looks just like you".


I'm sorry for all the bad stuff I said and all the feelings I hurt.. Please forgive me

Interesting scar. How did that happen?

I've got tons of interesting scars all over me but none of them resemble kanji. Maybe I should look into Arabic or something.

Duuude, go to the south of China (Hong Kong, or Macau maybe) and do business or play at the casinos! 8 is a lucky number for many Cantonese folk. And of course, Kanji comes from Chinese Characters, so 8 is the same in Chinese.

That's some cool shit! You should really gamble in China. But how the hell did you get such a cool shaped scar?

Hehe . Well ironically enough, I got it on my way to a "convenience" store when a dog chased me and pulled me off my bike. I'm not sure what particular part of the crash caused this scar though, since I also had most the skin torn off my knees and elbows.

Anyways, the gambling in China plan sounds fun. Too bad it's just unpractical at the moment.
