25 years ago I was running to my father to show off the fist full of pencils I had sharpened all on my own... tripped over a fold in a rug, and proceeded to pierce my face with a pencil. It entered through my nostril, exited the side of the nostril, then went into my cheek, and finally stopped with the tip of the pencil in my eye ball. Very lucky I didn't lose my vision.
Ok you win
"I won r/pencilstabbers and all I got was this stupid eye tattoo"
Holy shit pencil light sabers?!?
you misspelled the link
You've won this sub. We can all go home now, there is no beating this.
Alright boys pack it up
Good lord, what an insane story. Lucky you didn't lose vision? Absolutely. But I'd go so far as to say lucky you didn't take it right to the brain and incur a free lobotomy. God bless you.
Lmao right!? Could've been a LOT worse!
I bet the pencil lobotomy would leave a mark. *Badum tss *
Aaaargh.... thats bad.
I had a big piece of glass stuck through my cheek as a kid, and a long piece of metal in my eye from using a flex at work.
But your siunds worse 😂
On a plus side, you have insanely cool looking eyes
Did your dad appreciate the sharpened pencils though?
He was probably too busy freaking out over his kid having a pencil through their nose
Cool color blue eyes.
I was playing beach volleyball once and got a chunk of charcoal from an old campfire lodged in the arch of my foot. I thought that was kinda badass... but OP, you take the cake! Or pencil idk lol
..i am at loss for words..i m glad u are ok..
Looks fatal. I'd start notarizing a will and maybe say goodbye to whatever family you have left.
Theres a 26yr lifespan for someone with graphite eye…😭 poor fellow
Damn talk about cutting it close
Damn that’s hardcore. How do you even treat that ?
Yikes ok close the sub it’s done
You probably have anemia btw, your conjuctiva is pake and I think you should do a complete blood count
Posted this in mildly interesting and had the same warning, I'll be getting some blood work done soon :) thanks for the concern!
Anytime, glad I could help, this is a classical sign of Anemia. Other signs include; pallor of mucus membrane(usually most apparent under the tounge), tounge itself, your nail beds and the creases of your palms and many other not sp obvious ones. I wouldn't mind looking through your lab works and explain if you want to. Get well and good luck!
For what it’s worth, this is also the first thing I thought when I saw this photo. Glad to hear you’re on top of it.
Btw beautiful eye
I am very happy to be a rock right now ew ew ew ew ew
Oh, under as in 'inferior'. I was imagining something a bit more ... 'posterior' with that term.
Wow, thanks for adding an even larger cloud of anxiety over my head any time my child walks anywhere with a pencil!! I already has a huge fear of this happening. Teaching him SHARP SIDE POINTED DOWN. 😖😖😖😖 So glad you didn’t lose an eye and just have a sweet pencil scar instead.
grapheyet
Its absolutely astounding that you still retained the use of that eye.
Good on you and all medical personnel
You don't have graphite in your eye, because that'd mean the reactor exploded, and RBMK reactors don't explode!
Sorry
Not great, not terrible.
Where?
Yeah, need a red circle for this one
Oh yikes! You’re the perfect example of the reason my parents always told me not to run with something sharp in my hands.
I don‘t care; your eye is too beautiful. That blue🥹 🥰
Shut her down gents, sub’s over.
Owieholyfuck!
JEEEE ZUUUUUS! 😱😱😱😱😱😱
You didn't see any graphite.
You didn't see any graphite under your iris cause there is none!
ive been sick for four days now and haven't smoked at all. but after seeing this post I'm definitely lighting a cig.
Thats a beautiful eye color and pic btw
Your eyecolour is beautiful
Nothing related, but I would check for anemia
Wow. I'll be sharing this with my 7 year old who's never listens about swinging his pencils around and running with them... glad you are OK.
I'm glad you didn't lose your eye either but DAMN! I HAD A SIMILAR STORY BUT WITH MY KNEE! Finally someone who tattooed a part of their body involuntarily as a child! YIPPEEE~!
People kept telling me the graphite was going to kill me but it just melded with my flesh and it has become me just as I have become it.
you have a beautiful iris pattern
All I notice is a major iron deficiency. OP gets some bloodwork done asap
Already on it 👍🏻
Pls elaborate
When you pull your lower eyelid down, and notice it’s very pale instead of pink or red, it can suggest anemia.
Crazy Story, crazy eyecolor
Only until your first mri. Update pls
That's the sclera, not the iris.
Yeah i was so confused trying to find anything in the iris
They said "under" the iris
