I've got a blue mark in the palm of my hand from where it was stabbed in maybe 1st or 2nd grade. I don't think I actually left a piece of pencil in there ... I think perhaps the skin was colored grey and just stayed that way?

Same here, tiny little dot of gray/blue on my palm. Probably from 2nd or 3rd grade. Then I have another on in my arm, probably 4th grade.

Even after nearly 25 years they're still there.
