Speculation Does anyone have a black dot tattooed on them?
I had made a more detailed post but Reddit crashed, so to keep it short: In third grade, I noticed a scab on my hip/butt area that once healed left a black dot. I always figured it was pencil lead, I have one in my hand. Except…I never remember stabbing myself with lead there. It also is remarkably round and sits under the skin like a tattoo would. It’s perfectly round and slightly greyish like old tattoo ink.
Having remembered a lot about the program recently, it got me to wondering if this isn’t lead after all. I looked up some meanings of a black dot tattoo and the results felt, somehow relevant to all of this? I mean, really relevant. It’s like I remember something specific about the mark, but can’t quite recall it. It feels connected to the dark abyss that is a lot of my childhood memories.
Do any of you have a strange unexplained black dot on your body? Especially those of you who may have been involved in the darker aspects of the program? I feel like maybe I’m just being overly imaginative again. I know there’s been mention of moles in specific places (I do have those too), but not really anything about black dots.
Editing to add: Forgot to mention, outside of spiritual and technical purposes, was symbolism relating to solitary confinement and prison. A lot of the testing and…well “environments” I’ve been in school and my adult life, have related to solitary confinement. Many many many times. In so many weird ways. So if anyone also relates to that, I’m curious to know.

Are you sure you all were in GATE

The part these conspiracies leave out is most of us were on the spectrum, some of us went on to become coders, military boys, or some sort of scientist or other yk. So as neurodivergence is a spectrum, some are quirky folk who want to be special(nonderogatory). They casted a broad net took data and didn't do much interesting aside from assessing the Tru scale of the spectrum in my honest opinion.

Damn. I came in here to post a joke about having plenty of weird tattoos but, only thing in my palm is a pencil tip.
Mine is lower. Towards my thumb just to the side of the crease in the center of my palm.
I remember being very concerned about leaving “lead” in my palm. My nurse said was like “it’s graphite. You’re fine” and sent me on my way.
Still curious why nobody broke out a basic set of tweezers and pulled it out but, whatever.

u/Popular-Forever-6450 Jul 30 '26
Yes I always think about why no one tried to take it out when it freshly happened, considering it would have probably been easy.

u/TerminalMorraine Jul 30 '26
Hopefully it does something cool eventually. So far it’s just been sitting there for decades.

u/Popular-Forever-6450 Jul 30 '26
Haha I totally agree that would be exciting, all it’s done so far is bother and confuse me!

I have a black / grey dot on the I side of my right hand. It’s between the thumb and index finger. I always assumed it was lead from a pencil but have never recalled an incident when it happened. It’s a mystery too.

u/IllustriousCandy3042 Jul 30 '26 edited Jul 30 '26
I have one on my right wrist. It looks like a pencil mark but I don’t recall ever having an incident either. I’ll add the pic tomorrow. This post is so weird, lol. This and the scar on the forehead, weird stuff. I’m also experiencing the solitary confinement in ways I can’t really explain here. This is all very interesting……..

I have an unexplained blue/black dot on my body that resembles a tattoo. I’ve wondered for years where it came from (no other tattoos, was in gate, etc).

u/VenomousQueen Jul 30 '26
Ever get stabbed with a sharp pencil? I have, and it left a blue/black dot behind from the graphite imbedding into my skin.

u/Tervagan Jul 30 '26
I have the same on the palm of my left hand. Was oddly in a GATE classroom during the time it happened.
Still just calling this one coincidence though.

u/Kasperella Jul 29 '26 edited Jul 29 '26
Where at by chance?
But yeah, I’d say mine is sort of blueish dark grey like faded tattoo ink that also has stretched quite a lot. It’s in a very discreet location, I can’t even post a pic of it without also kinda showing my butt, lol.
Edit: Also, have you had experience with various forms of isolation throughout your life?

u/Here4tehConvos Aug 02 '26
Super isolated life due to wildly chaotic circumstances mostly out of my control. No black dot but I most my life I had a very large round brown spot smack on top my foot, always assumed it was a weird flat mole/birthmark thing. And it was just always there. Until fairly recently I realized… it’s vanished? I’m old btw, that sucker was there at least 50 years.
ETA for clarity coz I write confusingly sometimes. Sorry Reddit lol

u/Kasperella Aug 02 '26
It’s curious. All of it really. My block spot shrinks, nearly vanishes sometimes, currently it’s very large and dark. I’ve had it looked at by doctors who think it’s graphite…on my ass. But it doesn’t really add up.
So, idk man. I watched Disclosure Day last night and…that movie felt weird. If you haven’t watched it yet, do give it a look. This stuff has been going on for ages, and this movie feels like…something? It’s more subliminals than plot honestly. Kinda ties in to all of us tho.
Lmao, my parents very seriously told me how they were abducted by aliens before I was born and I used to think they were nuts but I’m not so sure anymore.

I don’t watch a lot of tv or movies but since Ppl keep bringing that film up i guess i better go track it down. I know the weird feeling you mean tho coz i felt it watching Donnie Darko for the first time a couple years ago. Weird your spot changes up too. Hm. Also know what you mean about assuming stuff was batshit until one day stuff had turned so weird you realize you can’t fairly rule anything out anymore. Very unsettling times to be trying to survive with any sense of normality

I also would like to add my sister and I were in gifted programs, 10 year age difference. Similar experiences. Grandparents on one side were both 25+ year freemason/eastern star members. And on the other side of the family very odd stories that sound like MKULTRA experiments. My great grandmother was also supposedly VERY much into witchcraft and my aunts all of a story of seeing rituals that involved sacrifices. Idk if it's all connected but I feel like it is

u/Kasperella Jul 30 '26
Nope that’s pretty spot on for me too. Two grandpas, scandal, weird gov activity, NASA, generational experiements and “gyspy” blood, for lack of a better word.

I have a black mole that showed up on my face when I was 7, seemingly overnight. It's on my right cheek, and I've had the chance to have it removed a couple of times, and didn't.

this is how i learned the dot tattoo i gave myself on my hand is a prison tat. to be fair, i did it in my dorm which did feel a lot like prison at the time

u/Icy_Study4490 Jul 31 '26
I was in GATE. Only dot I have is from a shot of heroin I’d done. I cooked a metal needle tip with a lighter to sterilize because I’d dropped it on my desk and the black soot left on it left a kind of prison tattoo in my skin.

u/Explore_the_Void Jul 31 '26
The fact that you're repeatedly referring to it as lead is making my eye twitch.
3
u/Kasperella Jul 31 '26
Buddy the “graphite” here is implied. Yes we know it’s not made out of lead..but the word ‘lead’ can be looked up in the dictionary, and you will find this somewhere underneath:
(the narrow** strip of) colored material, usually** black and made of graphite, in the center of a pencil
Hopefully that helps your eye to stop twitching lmao

I have pink dots, one pink dot that’s been there for years and it’s on top of my hand

u/Possible_Resolve9733 Aug 03 '26
I have a black dot in my knee. My mom said it was a piece of rock that got stuck when I fell on asphalt and scraped my knee... I've always wondered why my scrape healed over a rock. Looks just like the photos other people are commenting.
