Well, to Michelle, been there done that recently. Let me put it to you simply. This hurts less. But you do get good drugs with a route canal! To Nilla. one word, dopamine. Comes from the endorphine rush. To all. No I haven't done this. But I know people that have.

hahaha...
was that the reaction you were expecting?
actually, i was looking at the expression of the girl in yellow in the last shot & wouldn't you know, there'd be someone on a cellphone

ummmm, no, the ideal of my skin being pulled away from the muscle just doesn't really appeal to me :/

& thanks for showing us Donald! i just luv peoplewatchin' :D

OK... I got off on the endorphines when I had my first tattoo! I liked it so much I had a second and a third and a fourth done. But OMG! I think I am going to agree with Chelle here, I would rather have a root canal, at least I get to sleep with Prince Valium before I see the dentist. giggles

Cyn - That woman's reaction is why I included that last one. It's raw emotional response. This is a full-size crop. She's a bit soft, just outside DOF. What I found interesting was that if you had asked me before this how I'd react, I'd have said I'd probably look the way this woman looks. But being there, photographing it and watching. It was amazing. I think if they had been groaning in pain or there was blood squirting around it would have been different. It really is weird. Somebody tells me about a some accident and I get that cold shiver for a second. But this, there was none of that. No repulsion. Just pure fascination. Not sure how I'd react without the camera. I would love to photograph them again when they are performing.
