    This kinda got me thinking....
    I think it's just because with a tattoo or piercings, it's something you REALLY want. You're all jazzed and excited about it. And you're prepared to take the "pain" to get want you really want.
    However, with a shot, whether it be at the dr, dentist, or where ever else, it's something you don't particularly want. You're not excited or jazzed about it. And you mentally freak yourself out.

    i think i need a filling redone on one of my back teeth and that means a shot right?..when i first got it done i remember the dentist pulling out a bigg a$$ needle and me walking out..only to be scolded and sent back by my mom
    you'd think at 28 years old i would be over this..but im not...i cant even watch other people get shots..tattoos are not the same
    Im the EXACT same way.
    Theres just something about being injected or blood drawn that I freak out.
    Give me a new tattoo or piercing and im cool with it.
    The dentist is my worst fear. I HATE the dentist...HATE...going to the dentist. I cannot even begin to explain how much I loathe it lol.
    But I agree with you, I couldnt have wrote it better myself.

    I am afraid of me getting stuck, yet I stick needles in people for a living(phlebotomist). Ironic.

    I'm in nursing school on my way to becoming an RN and have to give people injections from time to time. Not bad giving them haha but I don't much care for getting them. We had to stick ourselves with an insulin syringe during our checkoff to be able to administer meds. That didn't hurt but it's just something about sticking yourself with something lol
