I may have inadvertantly given myself the world's smallest tattoo.

At work, I was going to put the cap on a marker after I'd used it to mark the lenses of a pair of glasses. Marker in one hand, cap in other, move marker rapidly towards cap, accidentally drop cap a moment before the marker would have slid into it. The (very small, very hard) tip of the marker slid into my palm instead.

I'm not sure how deep the ink got, so I'll just wait and see how it turns out.

(At least my track record was better than yesterday, when I stabbed my thumb with a tool in the morning and got the index finger on the same hand as said thumb caught in a (heavy and fast moving) drawer in the afternoon...)

((Oh yeah, the tattoo is on the same hand as both of yesterday's mishaps))


(((It's not easy being my right hand)))

Your icon makes me wish I had my Mr Darcy one back. I may have to go and hunt it down...

(And ouch, regarding the drawer incident, and all around it -- your poor right hand!)

I think I credited it. I got it from a site that had several others, including an 'uncontrollably excited' Darcy :D

And I just burnt the fingertip of the finger I smashed in the drawer yesterday :)

A one-pixel tattoo... cool;-)

Bit more than one pixel, I think. It looks kind of like I have a dark splinter lodged almost dead center in my palm (it feels a little like that, too!)

I've done that with a Pilot pen. It did eventually disappear, though.

I hope it'll vanish. I can't tell how deep it went. (For a second, I was tempted to use some of the chemicals we use to get the ink off the glasses on it. Then I came to my senses.)

Poor right hand. :D

Yes. Good thing I'm lefthanded :D

The mall I work in has been having a 'crazy monkey business' sale these past three days (complete with us having to wear ugly blue t-shirts with a drawing of a monkey with sunglasses on it). I've been blaming my injuries and assorted incidents of dropping things on the floor, looking for things right under my nose, and other acts of clumsiness, on being in the spirit of the crazy monkey days :D

Dare I suggest that you stay away from knives for a few days?

Ouch!
