I'm literally an idiot so have many cosplay related injuries but this was the first that came to mind. I've also lost all feeling in the end of two of my fingers due to embroidery, plus I once had to have contact lenses surgically removed from my eyes because i was really stupid and used shitty lenses which caused a vacuum against my eyes, (were cheap and super thick and didn't fit and i hadn't soaked them because I was noob), AND it turns out i'm allergic. Don't fuck with your eyes kids, having someone hold you down while another holds open your eye, while another removes the contact as you are uncontrollably spasming is not fun.
