I know that I got quite a release from both the tattoos I have gotten. The artists looked at me like I was a freak when I told them I enjoyed the pain and they saw the goosebumps and the hair stand up on the back of my neck from the euphoric feeling I was getting. This has made me def. want to get more tats, more elaborate ones so they take longer and i can enjoy the pain for a longer period of time. I'm not addicted that I can tell, I havent been rushing back and blowing money to get more like I do with nocitine and alcohol, things I know I'm addicted to.
Hope this helps and best wishes
