Please wait...How do I Overcome my Fear of Needles?
As one with a long history of needle-phobia, I totally understand where you are coming from. But I know many people that get tattoos that fear needles. It's all in the mind, and how badly you really want the tattoo.
I wouldn't really describe the pain as feeling like a needle..it doesn't go very far into the skin at all. It feels more like a hot vibrating sensation than anything else. And yes...if you have a fear of needles, watching can make it worse. But I will tell you that your lower back is a lot more sensitive than some other areas. Some of your less-painful areas are the back of your shoulder, your thigh, your hip, and sometimes your upper arm.
Well fear and pain are created in the mind. Relax and think of things you like or love to help overcome this illness.
