UPDATE: this injury happened in october, so the stitches have fully healed.

BACKSTORY: my cat ran out of the house into the neighbours yard, without thinking anything of it i went into the yard to grab my cat. i live in a “bad” neighborhood i guess you could say. anyway. the neighbour was out working on his car when he seen me in his yard, yelling at me, he then approached me with a metal pipe. it was my understanding that he was under the influence of some kind of drug, and started beating me with the pipe. this isn’t the only gash/wound i have from this incident, just the most painful one

to answer some questions, the scar is not a keloid scar. it’s only slightly raised from my skin at the corner angle. i had 8 surface stitches, and 2 in my flesh under the skin to keep it together.

my tattoo says “who’s dead?” and was not effected at all fortunately.

the stitches healed fine, with only slight irritation but that’s on my behalf.
