Needles & Pain, Oh My!

Turn volume up!!!The conceptual outline of what will become a magnificent piece of art is sketched onto paper. Markers in a few colors are then applied to my soft, delicate skin.Tiny needles repeatedly pierce my pores, going ever so deeply. Ink floods the first few layers of skin, leaving behind a divine sensation of both pain and discomfort—exhilarating, warm, and deeply satisfying. Slowly, the final piece of beautiful work takes shape.Listen to this chapter and see the final piece of artwork on my personal Instagram: @mizlovelylana
