I'm a bit of a needle-phobe, but I have noticed that I get thoroughly intrigued by the pictures of all the beautiful needle work. It's art, in my opinion.

That being said though, I think I would consider self-needling as something to be wary of.. especially if you are one who begins to start drifting off toward subspace with each needle. Who is going to make sure that you are cared for properly while your head is in the clouds? Please be safe..
