#25: Selective Fear
Ah, the fascinating problem of needle phobia versus body-mod bravery! Imagine you’re at a hospital, minding your business, when suddenly a nurse brandishes a needle like a tiny sword. It’s terrifying! But hold on a second, what about tattoos and piercings? Aren’t they also needle-related activities?
When it comes to tattoos and piercings, people voluntarily walk into a parlor, all excited and ready for a needle to get cozy with their skin. Well, in a twisted way, it’s all about the context and mindset. Tattoos and piercings are often perceived as fun, creative expressions of identity, while medical-related needles are strictly an obligation.
