* The forehead variant is especially common in ProfessionalWrestling. Typically, a wrestler will inflict it on themself using a razor blade hidden on his person (a process known as a bladejob or blading) and through a little cooperative sleight of hand, it will be made to look like the opponent, usually a {{Heel}}, inflicted the wound. There is also a technique wherein a wrestler can split open another performer's eyebrow with a well-placed punch. More common in the early days, few are skilled enough to execute it properly today. In Pro-Wrestling terminology the practice of intentionally drawing blood is known as "juicing", "gigging" or "drawing colour" and has become less common in recent years, due to concerns over HIV and other blood-borne diseases. The forehead is the favored spot for bleeding because of the abundance of blood vessels and the fact that the blood will mix with sweat on the forehead and run everywhere, making the wound look more dramatic(forehead cuts that aren't running are more likely to be accidental). The best example would probably be the 1992 Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling match between Wrestling/TheGreatMuta and Hiroshi Hase, in which Muta bled so profusely that by the end of the match his face was stained completely red. To this day the severity of bladejobs is measured on the "Muta Scale".

* Averted in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome''; when Aunt May is attacked by the Green Goblin, she comes out of it banged up a bit, but functioning somewhat normally...until she tells Peter-1 the classic line, "With Great Power..." Soon after she collapses from internal bleeding.
