No, I’d get nervous having someone watch me work too

Haha, I can see how it sounded like that! I actually meant being the one in the chair getting poked, I still get those ‘first-timer’ jitters even though I do this for a living. But you’re right, having a crowd watch you work is a whole different kind of pressure!

It’s biological. I have sleeves. Worked in a shop (as a piercer). The flight or fight is real. You are self aware and know it CAN hurt better than most. Once the endorphins run out you can be chill.
