I remember doing lino cutting in my grade 9 art class. The carving tool slipped at one point and dug a huge chunk out of the meat of my left thumb. I quietly wandered over to the sink, rinsed it out, wrapped it in paper towel, and kept my thumb tucked in my fist the rest of class.

The chunk was still attached at one end and had decent blood supply, so it eventually reattached and filled back in. I have mixed feelings about lino cutting. . .

Oh yeah, cutting the absolute shit out of your hands doing this in highschool was just part of the fun.

I have almost exactly the same story, except it took a chunk off the side of my pinky, including part of the nail. Had to hide it from my art teacher, haha.
