The Best Feeling Ever

Cool metal vibrates against my skin as I brace myself for the intensified pain. Whizzing is the only sound I can process as the needle begins to mark my skin, carving away my first few layers of flesh. My brain isn't sure whether to feel pain or burning, so a combination of the two whirls through my spine. Blood oozes from the fresh design etched into me. Temptation begs me to touch the wound but logic overrules. My heart flutters when I get a peak in the mirror. This is ecstasy.
