I have tattoos, and I'm not phobic of having my blood drawn, but I've had to have alot ot blood work done in my life and a few times I've gotten really butchered. It does something to you.
I always get shit at the labs, they can't believe
I'm afraid of needles because of the tattoos, but they need to realize I know to become a phlebodomist its only something like a semester course. They usually aren't nurses, and half the time they fucking suck at it.
I can sit for a tattoo for hours. I got the back of one of my calves done a few months ago and that was probably the worst spot for me so far, but its pain on a completely different level. There is something really disturbing about watching someone stick a sharp metal tube into your arm and fuck up, dig around and try to find another vein- horrifying.
Now when they need blood as I get into that little room my adrenaline goes through the roof, I get sweaty, I can't watch, have to turn my head. It wipes me out.
Don't really know what Manny's reasons are, and they may not be wholesome, but just putting it out there you can have tattoos and still have issues getting your blood drawn.
