sorry for the bad quality, my phone is bad up close

I hit my pinky finger real bad while hammering a nail when I was a kid, it broke off some of the skin but when it grew back it kinda has a divit in it. Doesn't hurt or cause issues in any way but it's just kinda a interesting part about my body that's unique and I probably wouldn't fix if given the chance.

I've come to love these little inconstancies that shows that a body has been used for fun and living, scars with a story are really sweet.

I have a sizable birthmark on my back that grows thick hair (the surrounding skin does not).

I can snap with my right hand all day, but for some reason, my left hand just never gets the appropriate sound to come out.

I can bend the top part of my thumbs 90 degrees backwards. It freaks people out when I do it. It doesn't feel odd or anything.

My left sinus cavity is slightly larger than my right one, but my right one has a smoother curve

WELL I guess that means I'm not that unique after all.

edit: Wait, "sinus cavity" does not mean "nostril." Nevermind, slightly different.

I have single transverse palmar crease on my other hand. It's estimated to occur in around 1,5-3% of people, so that's pretty interesting I guess

I have a scar on the back of my left wrist from when my wife and I were in highschool and had just started dating. We were at her house while her mom was gone, and I brought over a hookah because we thought it was really cool back then.

She had the hose you smoke out of in her hand, and gestured towards me, pulling the whole hookah over sideways and slamming the coal into my wrist.

Burnt me a bit and left a sort of small rough patch there when it healed but its been a funny story for us whenever it comes up. I usually tell the story like she's an assassin trying to kill me with a hookah :)

My pinky fingers are curved sideways towards my rong fingers. They're like little banana fingers. They also don't bend easily. Despite that I'm still a pretty decent clarinet player, but I always play the mid c# on the left instead of the right so I don't have yo bend my pinky.

The pinky finger on my right hand has 4 lines instead of 3. No extra joint so it folds normally, there’s just an extra line.

My mom pierced my tragus (both sides), with a starter stud, with no gun. It took quite a while, probably 5 minutes per ear. Hurt like hell. I think I ended up putting in 8ga acrylic plugs, which I think caused the cartilage split all the way to the edge of each tragus. Being a rambunctious 16 year old, the piercings got bumped too hard, and ripped out. This caused the tragus to split in half, and it healed that way.

This was 20+ years ago.
