I willingly allow people to inflict pain upon me and even worse, I pay them to do it. \u00a0I am of course talking about my tattoo artists and my dentist.<\/p>\n
Tim & Gil, they know how stubborn and hardcore I am when it comes to my tattoos. \u00a0For me, getting tattooed is about as close to a\u00a0spiritual\u00a0moment I can get. \u00a0I could go on and on about my tattoos, but I do that enough already. \u00a0In any case, I get to pick and choose my tattoos, the placement, the location. The whole 9.<\/p>\n
My dental work however is a whole other story. I make a commendable effort to take care of my teeth. \u00a0Especially given the thousands of dollars\u00a0I\\’ve\u00a0currently invested in them as of late. \u00a0So last time when I went on a dental shopping spree of sorts, my dentist asked me the one question I feel everyone should dread:<\/p>\n
How high is your pain tolerance? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Come again?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n You see, I was getting some repair work done on one of my front teeth. \u00a0She didn\\’t want to give me the\u00a0Novocaine shot if she could help it, said it wasn\\’t\u00a0pleasant. \u00a0So I thought that having a fairly high pain tolerance, I could take it. \u00a0Well turns out that she was closer to the nerve than I was aware of\u00a0\u00a0and once the tears started streaming down my face in a silent\u00a0homage\u00a0to pain, because tooth pain sucks balls on so many levels; I had to cave and ask for the\u00a0Novocaine. \u00a0Which normally isn\\’t too bad. \u00a0However getting a shot of\u00a0Novocaine on the very front of your face?<\/p>\n OMFG… \u00a0I could feel that needle underneath my right eye. \u00a0Most disturbing feeling ever! \u00a0Also? My sinuses and half my face were frozen solid for the better part of three hours. Always a good time! \u00a0So when I recently discovered the\u00a0beginnings of a small cavity on another tooth, I got my ass into her office right away. \u00a0The faster you get these things fixed, the less it hurts later. \u00a0I am of course talking about you and your bank account. \u00a0So there\\’s an x-ray taken and she\\’s all, oh it\\’s small, you don\\’t need any\u00a0Novocaine.<\/p>\n Um sure… \u00a0That\\’s what you said last time dentist of mine! \u00a0Except this time it wasn\\’t too bad. \u00a0It sucked a little bit, not going to lie. \u00a0I do however now have bragging rights:<\/p>\n I got a filling with no\u00a0Novocaine. Take that bitches!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I willingly allow people to inflict pain upon me and even worse, I pay them to do it. \u00a0I am of course talking about my tattoo artists and my dentist.
