Those pictures are horrible!! lol
No offence!
When I was about 12 (don't ask how) but I fell of a oil drum, onto some old electric fence batteries and into some barbed wire and stingy nettles...lol
And luckily other then a few cuts and bruises, I only had one serious cut across the side of my elbow. Has left a lovely scar, and if anyone brushes up against it, or if someone were to run their finger across it, there's this horrible tickeling but painful feeling...where I think I must have damaged a nerve.
All good fun hey!

ooooohhh I love a bit of Gore... the more blood the better as long as it doesn't obscure the muscle and bone.
