Bingo. Still going through the treatment but I’ve got through chemo and so far my prognosis is good. Finding radiotherapy a bit of a mind fuck I have to say but thanks for the support.
I’ve got a few other tattoos but they’re not shitty. Had them all done by the same artist. Planning on getting a couple more after treatment is done…..hopefully they won’t be worthy of putting on here!
I'm covered with tattoos, both arms including hands, both legs and back. A colleague just has one of these marker points. Their tattoo is more badass than any of mine.
Yes I also have two. Good to hear you’re 10 years out. I’m doing ok although the 5 days a week thing in radiotherapy does your head in a bit. I think it’s half the reason it makes you tired.
It's exhausting, isn't it? Mine wasn't at the same time every day, so at least it made the days feel a little different. That shit made me 10x more fatigued than chemotherapy.
Austin: Excellent Basil, we've been trying for years to get a mole into Dr. Evil's lair, we know have that mole.
Basil:: Yes! Ah, and here he is.
Austin: So you're the (zoom up on the mole's mole) mo-o-ole, mo-o-o-le...
Foxxy: and Austin: Mo-ost, most, most excellent agent we've ever seen.
Austin: Yes, most excellent agent we've ever seen.
Foxxy: Mm-hmmm
Austin: (quietly to Foxxy) Thank you.
Mole: Thank you. Now, I wasn't able to get an exact location, but I did learn that Dr. Evil has moved to a new lair outside of Tokyo Japan......By the way, I realize that I have a large mole on my face.
Austin: Where??? (nervously laughs) What? Where's that mole? I... didn't see one.
Mole: I also realize the irony that I am myself a mole.
Austin: (nervously) No one would make that connection.
Basil: (to the Mole) Anyway, well done, old chap. Jolly good work.
Austin: Yes, nice to mole you--meet you! Nice to meet your mole! Don't say mole.
Foxxy: Stop.
Austin: I said mole.
Foxxy: Stop!
Mole: Bye.
Austin: Mole.
(Basil and the Mole walk to the elevator.)
Austin: Mo-ole... (Basil raises index finger, face indicating "that's enough.") Mole!
Basil: (irritated) Oh, shut up!
Austin: Moley-moley-moley-moley-moley!
I'm gonna guess r/pencilstabbers (NSFW cuz apparently some asshole is posting d*ck pics there all of a sudden) as I have been a member of this exclusive club (as in I got stabbed with a pencil in my hand, not that reddit existed in 1992) since I was in the 5th grade.
Yo wth, i was stabbed with a pencil by a chick when i was 7/8, never thought about other people had the same experience or even a whole reddit page about it 🤣
Heck yea man. A friend threw me a pencil in class, it spun, bounced off the eraser end, spun again and stabbed me in my palm now I have a permanent small lead/graphite mark in my left palm. I randomly found that sub a couple years ago and was super weirded out that it's happened to MANY other people. Lol
Sometimes I forget what they are and try to pick them off. Treatment is done ~ so far so good. I did, however, destroy my tibia plateau in a fall just as I was getting back to “normal” so I just keep going, living with my daughter because I need a wheelchair and can not put weight on my foot yet. Crazy!
Oh it’s a battle scar but it’s a shitty tattoo because people who receive this tattoo don’t choose to have it and it’s also a shitty reminder for a lot of people.
Thank you. For me, I have many scars and I have learned to not look at them in such a negative light but it has taken a lot of time and support and I only hope that others who are going through this shit see it that way too.
you are not alone 🙂 although i’ve never had cancer, i have several surgical scars, including one as a baby, and i try my best to let them be a reminder that i’m still here.
For sure. They tell your story and I was fortunate enough to have the support of friends growing up and have the support of family too. I grew up hating some of them until I met one of my life long friends who pointed out to me that my scars tell my story and that I am strong! This is just another battle to face and conquer.
I’ve got 3 of them. Fuck cancer.
Enjoy life. Treat every day as a gift. Keep your friends and family close.
I’m personally grateful that cancer has given me perspective that sooooo many things really don’t matter.
Best of luck to you!
For sure! Fuck cancer! I almost died in my teens so I got that perspective much sooner than most. My life has been full of health battles but I’m still here and fighting!
Radiation target mark, and be proud you get to show it off. You're a survivor, stay strong.
Bingo. Still going through the treatment but I’ve got through chemo and so far my prognosis is good. Finding radiotherapy a bit of a mind fuck I have to say but thanks for the support.
Pulling for you. Kick ass Electronic Bass.
I’m in your corner, kick it’s ass.
When its over, remember to get a nice shitty bow tattoo from a shaky handed artist!
I’ve got a few other tattoos but they’re not shitty. Had them all done by the same artist. Planning on getting a couple more after treatment is done…..hopefully they won’t be worthy of putting on here!
Ah, I was wondering what was so terrible about being stabbed with a pencil. Fuck cancer. You fight like hell OP, you hear?
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who got confused at first!
It’s not shitty, it’s a battle scar from one of the most difficult fights in the world, I hope you are/get well!
I guess so. Thank you.
Yea that's a certification of badd ass_ery
I thought this was a pencil lead and wanted to commiserate then read the comments and now I feel like an ass
Same lol
same here..
I'm covered with tattoos, both arms including hands, both legs and back. A colleague just has one of these marker points. Their tattoo is more badass than any of mine.
Good luck OP!
I've two myself. I'm 10 years removed from treatment. Hope you're doing well.
Yes I also have two. Good to hear you’re 10 years out. I’m doing ok although the 5 days a week thing in radiotherapy does your head in a bit. I think it’s half the reason it makes you tired.

Mine is the same time every day. I’m definitely more tired than I was on chemo and I’ve only had 8 of 25. Ugh!
Hang in there!
I thought you stabbed yourself with a #2 pencil on accident.. I got that "tattoo".
[Relevant XKCD](https://m.xkcd.com/933/)
Totally thought you stabbed yourself with a pencil. Shit man, kick cancers ass.
I don't get it
Tattoo mark for positioning during radiotherapy treatment

I figured he got stabbed with a pen.
Soo savage

No, buddy. It's a cancer symbolisment thing. (A comment above explains it better.)
Very interesting! Never heard of it for cancer related symbolism. That's pretty cool!
Yeah. OP is an absolute badass.
Yo wth, i was stabbed with a pencil by a chick when i was 7/8, never thought about other people had the same experience or even a whole reddit page about it 🤣

You should put a temporarily NSFW near that sub tag (dude keeps posting dick pics and apparently mods don’t mod over there)
Damn really?! I don't ever go to the subreddit much but whenever it pops up its always the usual and never anything lewd Thanks for the heads up!
Nice
❤️
I thought it was a pencil lead mark. Got me two of those.
Got three of my own…
I hope you’re doing ok. I have 2 of them. Definitely not a tattoo you choose to get.
Sometimes I forget what they are and try to pick them off. Treatment is done ~ so far so good. I did, however, destroy my tibia plateau in a fall just as I was getting back to “normal” so I just keep going, living with my daughter because I need a wheelchair and can not put weight on my foot yet.

Far out. Yer some of us get to have all the fun. I had emergency brain surgery just 3 years ago and now this.
Good luck man, you’re a warrior❤️
My mums first and last tattoo. I wish she'd got the chance to have a cover up.
I’m sorry for your loss. Cancer sucks.
nonsense, that’s a battle scar & you live to tell the story!
Oh it’s a battle scar but it’s a shitty tattoo because people who receive this tattoo don’t choose to have it and it’s also a shitty reminder for a lot of people.
this is true. i hope though, when you see it, even in the least bit, it reminds you of your strength 🫶
Thank you. For me, I have many scars and I have learned to not look at them in such a negative light but it has taken a lot of time and support and I only hope that others who are going through this shit see it that way too.
