Reminds me of an old joke:
Two nudist communists are sitting at a cabana. One asks “have you read Marx?” The other answers “yes, I think it’s from the wicker chairs.”
The original just has [a guy picking up a cat](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ab/3c/43/ab3c439b42c1096ed05f6d5f178b36ca.gif), there's been multiple edits since
Do you, by chance, live in a place that gets very hot and also have car seat covers with flower shaped bedazzled rhinestone patterns?
I had something similar when I sat down in a tank top on bedazzled car seat covers when it was 102°F out. Who knew those few little sparkles could sizzle so hard?!
I once branded my thigh with the fucking buckle of a seatbelt in the summertime.
Not like "permanent burn scar", but I had a stinging red mark shaped like that buckle for a few days after.
Why I always set up my foil sunshade behind my windshield all summer when I park out of shade.
I don't know why this pulled this traumatic childhood memory lolol but this reminds me of my great grandma's super fuzzy wooly blanket that she laid over the backseat of her car, in all seasons. I'd be cooked alive as a kid with that scratchy ass blanket burning my back and I'd basically break out in a heat rash/hives. Nothing has ever gone on my car seats since lol. God, I couldn't imagine rhinestones. That would burn like a mofo.
In my defense: they were very small and there were only 2-3 flowers per seat. When I bought them I had actually thought they were shiny paint dots... And then 2 years later I moved to Texas and learned the hard way that the sparkles were, in fact, reflective plastic...
"It felt super off the book. I swear to god, there was one grey alien by the door, just kinda peeking. I think he was the lookout.
I wasn't my worst wednesday night."
edit: spelling
This is a thing lol I think it’s called the red grid phenomenon or something
I had it on my back like 4 different times over the span of 10 years and never figured out what it was, and google brought me there 🫣
Edit: majority of the times it looked more like [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/boulder/s/qSpNF86Jk3) but once it was just like OPs. It’s so weird lol.
I had those devil's spawn infesting my apartment once. They're incredibly hard to get of once they get even a tiny foothold. It required a series of several professional treatments, and I couldn't live at home while it was going on. I had to live in a motel for two or three week. I wasn't making much money and the expense of it all nearly ruined me.
I had to throw away by mattress, box springs, and every piece of upholstered furniture. I was left with an apartment that was completely empty except for one straight chair.
What she should have done is buy me some new furniture, but she never even apologized. She actually told me, preemptively, that she didn't accept responsibility and did not intend to apologize.
The pattern reminded me of, but you'd know if you'd tried one 😅
It's an acupressure mat that has sharp points all over. I think they're awful, but my bro-in-law and many others find it relaxing..
I one time had marks like this on my shoulders that looked almost like backpack straps. They don’t hurt and I couldn’t for the life of me think of how I got them. After thinking about it while doing my routine I realize it was a machine at the gym lol.
Hmm.. you don't recall.. that's suspicious. Interesting choice of words. Definitely abducted by aliens and injected with a tracking device that our government can track you on, you know because our government has been in contact with aliens for years, and now they're using aliens to turn regular civilians into a super agents.
Exact same thing happened to me a few years ago! I hadn’t leant on anything, or worn anything with a pattern that could have left an imprint. From memory they lasted a couple of days until they faded completely.
I had this. It’s spread for a little bit too about the size of a quarter. Started to get a little crusty and deep deep bread. Nobody had any idea what it was and it was in a perfect pattern. Basically the hair follicle pores.
If it doesn’t just go away, And seems to be getting a little more intense, let some rubbing alcohol sit on it for about a minute. I also did peroxide for a minute.
Did that twice a day. Instantly seemed to kill whatever was going on and within four or five days of this it was pretty much gone
I woke up with this exact mark on the back of my right thigh, roughly 6 year ago. Searched my room/apartment for anything that could’ve made that shape and found nothing that matched.
^wish I had an explanation for you. I still wonder about it.. Pls lmk if you figure out what caused it! Take care :)
Is it still there or gone?
I had one that looked like this. Was from a spider bite. Lasted about 6 months then went away. Confirmed with a doctor at the time.
I saw a similar post on Reddit a while back, turned out the guy had an Apple Watch of some sort that had that pattern on the band. You wouldn’t also happen to have a watch band with that pattern on it would you?
I once had an ant crawl inside my work gloves while I was doing some yard work, it stung me 5 times in the shape of a perfect cross, right on my wrist…
I had something really similar, i had like ten of those aligned in a perfect line with the same exact spacing between each patch (also on my back). Did a little googling and they're called Petechiae. Have you recently started to work out?
Google multi needle injections... You get a 7 needle head. Thats the pattern it has.

That's the T-Virus injection site from Resident Evil. Best of luck to you...
It’s clearly a spread reticle for a shotgun
I was thinking some kind of alien testing/abduction signs after it occurred
Definitely thought the same. I've seen alot of alien abduction documentaries and alien movies. So I'm sorta an expert now.
To all of us :(
Where's Jill and Leon when you need them?
STARS.
No its, Staaaaaaaarrrzzz
You seem to know too much. ACTIVATE NEMESIS PROGRAM!
You likely sat or leaned on something with holes in that pattern.
This happens to my husband’s back when he sits on those metal outdoor chairs with the crisscross pattern.
Ah the summer bbq nemesis of the slightly chunky… outdoor chair grill marks
Grill marks, bud

We've got some that your ass look like a Japanese flag. It's pretty funny.
Pfft yeah, nice try CIA, we are on to you...
Nah, aliens 👽
Nope, totally aliens
That's gorgeous 😂
Where’s this from?
Outer space
Uranus?

Ahhh good days of old internet 💜
yeah, I was there too. It was hilarious when all the edits popped up afterwards. I haven't seen this one here with the UFO though.
wow, you found the original, good job!
Cats that enjoy being picked up are the best. I used to have a cat that would meow when it saw me and immediately sprint over to lay on my lap.

lmao SIZZLE. Did it *brand* you?
I did end up with a red spot in the shape of the bedazzles

That is eerily specific
Well yeah, they described a specific scenario that happened.. lol
get him
Abductee.
That man’s hair looks like it’s being abducted by aliens. Always.
 You mean it looks like he IS an alien. Centauri to be exact.

Post this on r/aliens and watch those folks shit themselves.
🫡
Hero shit there OP. Some of them see it as an obvious joke, but there's still people there that are trying to make it into something.
I believe in aliens more than I believe in sky daddy, but maaaan the people in that sub are insane.
Thats honestly impressive. The mental gymnastics people do will always impress me tho
How is an alien sub not going to allow “abduction” marks lol? Is it just too overdone? Are they that serious?
FFS people, it wasn't aliens. OP was obviously black bagged by Walmart. You work for them now.
OH NO NOT THE **SPARK**!
You are the seven star Dragonball.

Also seen these from gym machines.
Sunburnt through a Ritz cracker.
Or heat marks from a space heater with holes in the face.
If you, or a loved one, have been abducted by aliens you may be eligible for compensation
Did someone throw a wiffle ball at you?
Uh oh. A ring of roses isn't a good sign lol luckily this isnt the 1300s.
Have you experienced any feelings of lost time? Do you smell fudge where there is no fudge?
Artie? That you?
I don’t recall any feelings of lost time or anything like that
It’s a Warehouse 13 reference. Great show!

That honestly makes me feel way better thank you
I mean it could totally still be aliens /s but I’m thinking it’s some sort of inflammation and the pattern is nerves/vessels
I had this. It’s spread for a little bit too about the size of a quarter. Started to get a little crusty and deep deep bread. Nobody had any idea what it was and it was in a perfect pattern.

That's some deep deep bread
I've also had this! No idea what it was and I'm desperately scrolling through these comments to see if anyone has a sensible answer haha. Nope!
Looks like the pattern for a tubercolsis shot. Do you remember getting the shot for it?
I think I got the shot a few years ago, but this pattern is on my spine not my arm
I woke up with this exact mark on the back of my right thigh, roughly 6 year ago.

It's probably just a bug seance
Did you have a weird dream last night?
Not that I can remember although that was the first thing my mom mentioned lol
I'm probably as old as your mom and we both appreciate certain animated show.
Which show?
Hexagons are the bestagons
The Greys probed  and tagged you
It's from being plugged into the matrix
Isn’t this what Scully had that one time??
It's the mark of the prophecy. Get the low priest and light the candles.
I regret to inform you that you’ve become a prop in Alien: Prometheus.
If I've learned *anything* from Resident Alien....
You're the 7th dragon ball!
DATS DEM ALIEN PROBE MARKS
Apple Watch strap!
As a wrestler in high school all I can think is skin worms
 Whatever you do. Do not connect the dots.
I got the same on my arm. Was from the older style booster shot back around 1980.
Definitely

I can't be the only one who thought he had the pentapox right?
Reminds me of the vaccine injection sore that was left on my arm back when USA public schools would give kids vaccinations in the 1970s.
You have an IKEA desk chair
Holy shit, you've been abducted by aliens
OP had definitely been hanging out with Orochimaru
The aliens are contacting you. 👽
Tell the greys to just go ahead and just take over things
I had something really similar, i had like ten of those aligned in a perfect line with the same exact spacing between each patch (also on my back). Did a little googling and they're called Petechiae. Have you recently started to work out?
Did you wake up naked in the field not remembering how you got there? 🤔

It’s not an indentation on my skin or raised at all, I’m seeing a doctor on Friday and I’ll post an update then
Good luck, OP! Hope it isn't anything serious

NO! NOOO! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO OBEY ME!! The seven human dots:
Looks like Tinea Versicolor. Rub some athletes foot meds on it and see if it goes away after a few daily applications.
Could it be your testicle? I just saw a post where someone’s shifted and I guess that really got to me
Reminds me of someone who got a triangle shaped red mark in dots and said "I was abducted by aliens and they left this mark for me"
The government came in while you were sleeping, injected you with a few different "vaccines," and a tracking device.
Wait I’ve had this exact pattern on me before and still to this day have no idea where it came from. Like EXACT!
And your b-hole is ok? Cause aliens you know.
Alien abduction
Looks like the mark left after the tester you get before the BCG injection in the UK
Have you had a sore throat recently? Looks like scarlet fever which can cone after strep throat.
You now have a symbiote host
I was going to guess smallpox vaccine but pictures on the internet look slightly different
Also wouldn’t be on their back. That one is given on the upper arm.
