It feels more like the beginning of beesting or and indian burn or sunburn or something. The needle factor is pretty much nonexistant. If you're black or never got PRANKED in elementary school or stung by a bee idk what to tell you maybe pinch yourself.

I know, it's all psychological tho. Hypodermic needles aren't even that painful, it's the buildup and knowing I am about to get pricked that I can't deal with.

On a related note I also considered getting some of Bolaño's pictograms tattooed. I still really like the Savage Detectives, but it seems to me a bad idea, like tattooing something from your favourite musician. Tastes change so much with age that at some point in the future I'm going to look back and wonder what the fuck was I thinking.

24 yo American woman here. After I graduated from Wellesley I needed to find myself, and decided to forgo yoga training and travel the world and write about my experiences and the impact they have on my life. (I haven't been outside the country since I volunteered in Costa Rica for a week in during the summer in High School, where I learned how hard some people have it).

I've been all over Europe (s/o to Truow!) and I'm currently in Barcelona, where I love the incredible architecture, the breathtaking art history, the luscious music, the exquisite tapas, the vibrant nightlife and the chance to explore my sexuality with the interesting people I meet. The freedom is like nothing I've experienced before. Everybody should experience this, and I think there's no doubt that travel makes you a richer person.

I recently got this tattoo in cool parlor after clubbing in Kreuzberg (in Berlin) (this is me on a beach in Morocco), which I think defines the kind of character I want to be. It reminds me never to take things for granted because we all face challenges, and no matter how hard life can seem, you need to stay grounded.

It speaks to a character whose life is endowed with wasted potential. Instead of rejecting the crutch of inherited privilege or using it to achieve great things, it is used to leverage a lifestyle of conspicuous cultural consumption.

This is the first reason: one born immured in wealth whose capacity to affect the world was instead spent shallowly indulging in idle pleasure provokes jealousy, wrath and judgement.

The other is that the conspicuous cultural consumption flashes a shallow indulgence of culture in the exact same way someone would flash an expensive branded bag or watch. The insincerity is deliberately brazen, designed to provoke and show off the difference between those who must work with those who live a life of leisure, so far removed from the concept of suffering or toil.

It's like Herman Melville getting furious on a spiritual level over modern Americans arriving on passenger steamships as immigrants daring to put themselves on the same level as sailors and colonists throwing their lives to the sea on sailships.
