I really hate needles, needles are bastards.
But I really like piercings...wtf?
I went to Robot w/ my mom because she loves their gauges, and I wanted to get a cartilage/helix piercing. I was really freaking out because I have only ever had my lobes pierced, honestly, I shouldn't have been scared.
My piercer's name was Jo, I believe, (she's awesome) and she really did a great job of distracting me and making sure I didn't feel like I was going to die...because, you know, when I see a needle I think I'm going to die.
Well, she talked me through it and it just felt like a little pinch. I love the piercing, I think it looks great. Cartilage piercings don't hurt when the needle goes through (Ew.) but it's a little sore afterwards.
If I ever want another piercing or a tattoo, I will for sure go there. I recommend them to anyone who is scared of needles, they just seem to know how to get you through it.
