Nope, never gave blood, never plan on it either, not because I'm selfish and don't want to help people with my blood, but because I have the biggest phobia of needles anyone has ever seen, seriously, if I'm even in the same room as one I feel VERY uneasy and I'll run out of the room screaming like a sissy girl if one is held up to me, since they're so so so so so horrible! It sucks too because I really want a tattoo (I've got a sleeve design which looks AMAZING!) but fuck needles, they're the work of the devil! D:<


I have a pretty crippling fear of needles as well, but I also have tattoos.  Maybe you are different, but the problem I have always had with shots and the like is the sensation of being pierced by the needles.  If it is 100% psychological for you, then I guess that would be difficult to overcome, but getting a tattoo really feels nothing like getting a shot.  More like someone pinching you a bunch of times.  Not even sure the point of this post, just figured I'd tell you that in case it helps you get the tattoo you really want.
