~L~ Well, I have three ear piercings…
It hurts, but really only for a second. Thing about the tattoo is, I HATE needles, so a tattoo is a scary proposition…
~J
EEEEEEEEEE! My two sisters, when they were young, did their own ears, with an ice cube and a straight pin… :eek: Maybe I have issues…
I aim to please ~winks~
Good aim, Darlin’!!!
Pierced ears dont really hurt. More like…your ear just gets hot. Not to many nerve endings there. Other places tho…let’s just say I got tired of setting off the alarm at the airport and having to go to a back room to show my piercing. As for the tattoo…same principle. The nine ball on my hip was more annoying than anything else. Like a sunburn.
OOOOOOO!!! MO!!! You play nine-ball?
Not very well…wanna play?
I’m always ready to play… 
Yeah, that’s generally a crappy way to do it.
~winks~
So you are saying it wasn’t that bad? That is honestly the thing that worries me the most…like I said, I hate needles and well, that’s how you get a tattoo. ~grins~ Of course, having had two C-Sections, I can’t imagine I haven’t withstood worse.
[random thoughs] I peirced my own ears in college. I had the first set of holes and did a second set above them. Only I didn’t use a needle, I used ice to numb my ears, then pushed an earring through where I wanted it to be. [/random thoughts]
Nope, I missed that part of the game. But, I caught the bottom of the ninth inning, when we tied it up. And, the tenth, when we won it. So, when are you guys down in PA gonna get a pro baseball team?
Ooh! Dibs on the chocolate frogs! Wow! Talk about delectable treats…
So, can I paint someone, next? Or, would you rather I just tickled your fancy? Paintbrushes are good for that.
That was a typo? I thought you were bragging.
Sounds to me like it may be time to put that studmuffin out to pasture, too. If he can’t be bothered to return a phone call after the birthday party you gave him, he ain’t worth it. I had hopes that your holding back was working, since he called you so many times, that one weekend, but I guess it was temporary. Sorry, kiddo.
Yeah, go ahead and play her. She owes me for a whole freezer full of ice cream, so she needs the money.
No, it wasn’t bad at all. There were a couple of times I wanted to brush the pesky little tool away, but I told the guy that did the tat for me, and he stopped for a sec til i was ready again. Find a reputable place, get to know the artist, and make sure you both understand each other. That will make it much easier. Everyone hates needles, hon. It’s a normal physiological response to shrink from them. They’re fear inducing. But I found that, since I couldnt see what he was doing (it’s rather high and to the back of my hip) and he chit-chatted with me the whole time, it was not at all as bad as I was afraid it might be. Plus, he was a thorough professional, and only made one comment about my ass: “Keep that thing draped, dammit. You wanna get you raped and me fired?”
Ah, jeez, dear one, we really needed the chocolate. Us women get that way sometimes. You don’t mind really, do you? Tell ya what…I’ll let you decide how you want to be repaid.
~giggles~ I have a new saying!
Lick my frog!
There are also religious issues, but really the fear is worse.
I’m not just afraid of needles, I really get upset when I have to be stuck. I have to concentrate not to jerk away when they put one in my arm so that I don’t break the damned things off under my skin.
Yes. It’s normal. I had to give a lady a shot once, and she insisted on laying down so she wouldn’t pass out. She turned her head at the last second to see me about to administer the shot, and KICKED AND JUMPED. I almost ended up with a needle in my eye. Some people are just better at controlling that reflex than others. But, it doesn’t feel like that at all, honest. More like…hm. How do I describe it? More like scraping, but not quite like that either.
Yeah! Yeah! You beat the O’s tonight. BIG F-in’ accomplishment! You just wait’l next year! 
Yeah! What he said…
She’s not gonna win any money off me, not at nine-ball anyway, nor most others… 
That’s what I’ve heard it described as…scraping the needle against a bone, which sounds really gross. ~L~
BTW guys! Rocky and I are getting married! ~grins~ Who wants an invite to our wedding?
Hand-printed and hand-addressed invites, that is.
Are you serious, Jaade? :fished in:
Looks around… thinks about upcoming wedding… all the Davebear Babes[sup]tm[/sup] that will be there… makes a mess…
Sorry about that! I’ll take an invite! And a RSVP back atcha!
Yeah, Dave! Didn’t you know? Us women can’t play pool. Quit cuttin in on my action, dear one, he’s completely underestimating me.
**WHAT!!! ** OMG, are you serious???
YOU ARE serious!! I’m gonna cry!!! Oh, guys, why didn’t you tell us???!!!
