Luckily on my right hand and I play left handed. Ring finger, strings dont go there often. Has this happened to anyone? How long does it take to grow back? ---

My fingernail got run over by an ice skate once… it’s still screwed up 6 years later… Though, it might be hard to yoyo as a griffon/griffin/gryphon. ---

> [@M²](#): > > it might be hard to yoyo as a griffon/griffin/gryphon. On the contrary. You have more possibilities. You not only have the front claws to use for your standard tricks, but then you have wings to add to the mix, creating a whole new type of yoyoing for yourself with endless possibilities. Its amazing really. I wish I was a Griffon. ---

Griffons grow nails back in about a week… Bit if yer like me, it may take several weeks to a few months… My thumb nail took 5 months to grow back completely … But the skinnier your finger, the faster your nail will tend to grow ---
