Is it wrong to like pain? I have always kind of liked it. Not pain like when I found out my wife was married to another man or when I cut half of my foot off with a lawnmower. I am talking about the stinging pain that one experiences when they have a superficial injury. The pain on the skin, not deep within. I have always been into piercings, but now I have ventured into the mystical realm of tattoos. I know what you are thinking, how many does he have. Well I only have one. It is awesome though. It is a bear's head and paw tearing through the left side of my chest. I don't know if I will ever get another one, but it is real possibility. It felt like he (Dan-O at West Coast Tattoo) alternated between burning me with a cigarette and cutting me with a razor blade, and oddly enough I enjoyed the experience. I have always been a blood donor and the last few times I donated platelets. It is a lot like giving blood, except they hook you up to a machine that takes your blood out, separates it and replaces the platelets with a fluid and pumps it back in. It takes about 2 hours. Sadly I have to wait a year before I can donate again since I repierced my lip and got a tat. When I give blood, platelets, get pierced, or tattooed, I feel great for the next 24 hours or so. I guess it is because of a release of endorphins or something. I don't know why I am telling you this, I guess I am just bored and was looking at my tattoo.
