I just paid someone to stab 3 needles through my face (ears) yesterday. A 3rd hole on each of my lobes and my tragus on my left ear. Didn’t hurt like you always think its going to. I just hate needles. A bit masochistic, or like challenge my fears, or just like shiny things permanently embedded. D – all of the above. And aside from almost passing out, which is somewhat entertaining on a certain level, I am fine. Rook is next. 9 thus far.
