There is an old urban myth about being able to tell if somebody is a long time track racer by the lack of the ends of one or more fingers that unfortunately is often true. It also,unfortunately, applies to butchers and carpenters and all other power tool users. Get well.

who have done the kind of damage this thread is observing and never
grew any of it back. If you're just talking about slicing a little of the skin
off, I suppose it's possible.
Damn it's gross though!
