[quote=@Akayaofthemoon] [@Crazy Doctor] I love the stories of tattoos and the beauty of them but I am deathly terrified of needles to the point they have to lay me down for shots and I hyperventilate and cry as they do [/quote] IM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I was all fine with needles until i got appendicitis at around 14 years and had to go to hospital. I wasn't allowed to eat anything or drink any fluids so my arteries and veins shrivelled up. They had inserted an IV but my veins would always shrink and the needle would come out so in the middle of the night at like 2 they woke me up and started stabbing me with needles, Now 4 years on I'm deadly afraid of them. I have to lie down, look the other way, punch a wall or something like that to get a needle. Its so bad. And the nurses are always like don't worry their are others who are scared of needles but I'm always think "your making that up just to relax me aren't you" but now i know its not true. WOOOOOO!!!!! :)
