I'm aware, but pain isn't what scares me the most. In my experience and up to a certain point, it's somewhat relative. This is coming from a construction worker who cut his foot pretty badly with a circular saw and still worked for another 7 hours under the heat of August.
Having a clear picture as motivation helped me power through that. In that case it was the money and the people complaining about being broke while sitting on their *** all day and, at the same time, spending +$300 on a stupid phone.
In this case, I'll think about people like the morons who cry about their grey hair while rocking a goddamn NW1, or about the absolute cuntbutts who put on a hat with the thickest, fullest head of hair imaginable because: "It looks like sh*t and I'm too lazy to style it".
Such an infuriating picture will fill me with the rage of a hungry lion chasing its prey, which I will then use to power through the pain of stabbing my head with 2 mm needles delivered in a machine gun-like fashion.
What scares me the most is the risk of infection.
I known it's minimal, but I'm OCD and I can't shake that off, even if I know the risk is pretty much zero.
