It didn't hurt that bad. I put an ice cube up against the area beforehand, both to restrict blood flow and to provide some numbing. The scalpel was quite sharp, and I didn't feel anything more than a tug at the cut.

Of course, the sight of the cutting, or the knowlege that I was doing it to myself, or the blood triggered an intense rush. Adrenaline, I guess. So I wasn't feeling any pain for a while after that anyway.

Now there's a dull ache, but it's not bad. And it probably wouldn't be there if I'd have left it alone after the main cut, instead of going back to try and take it further back on each side.

Damn, I'm getting a little bit of a rush just thinking about it. Hell of a thing. I can now understand, somewhat, why people get carried away with this sort of thing.
