Do we have a New Year's Resolutions thread yet?

Needles that draw blood are completely different from tattoo needles.

I'm actually the same way- I used to pass out when I had to have blood drawn (now I just let lightheaded but still- no fun), but have sit through 7 tattoos to date and have never had an issue. Actually kinda feels.....nice. Plus- it's on a whole different side emotionally- tattoos mean excitement, something new that you've been looking forward to. Having life juice taken out of you is a little scary to think about. Just fuel for my already panicky brain...
Ninja'd by Neko! :-P

I get excited about donating blood - it feels like an important and useful thing to do, and I have felt so guilty for the last two years about not being able to that finally having managed to give a full donation was a great feeling! If you think about it as "having life juice taken out of you" then of course you're going to feel panicked. I see it more as donating the excess of something I have in abundance to provide for people who don't have enough (just like any form of charity).
nekowafer:
I wish I could get excited about that sort of thing. I don't think of it as anything being taken from me, but the needle hurts and it terrifies me every time. It's also really difficult to find a vein on me, no matter how hydrated I am. Turns out if you have to stab me three times, I pass out. And when I pass out, I wet myself. And so it's a very embarrassing and scary situation for me.
I was scared about my two tattoos, but I knew that I could ask her to stop at any time with no consequences. I also was definitely more excited.

Yes, quite. I'd actually rather get a tattoo than a piercing...at least the tattoo needle isn't going to come out the other side of my arm. >_<
