Leg got caught between bike and chainwheel.  Got a pretty good gouge in the lower leg, didn't bleed a lot but it's still oozing a little after a day.

I have a nice chain wheel scar on my left calf.  Crashed on my mountain bike and my left leg went under bike and chain wheel.  Never had my leg actually caught between frame and chain wheel though.

First cross race today (first time ever riding off road) on my son's bike and I have a nice set of teeth marks in my right calf - they did not bleed much. That and the big bruise on my ankle just prove I was out there!

i have chain wheel bite marks I got when I was about 17-18, when I road raced in HS/College. That was over 20 years ago and they are still very noticeable. I get comments about them all the time...

Didn't see it myself, but heard about a guy who crashed in a local crit and wound up with chainwheel bites (not from his chainwheel) on his back...

Ouch.  But funny.  You could always get a tat coming out of the scar:
