Thanks mate, it's a pretty big tattoo, nine hours in all...Yeah it hurt! Lol..
I'm not against NM or alternative medicine, it certainly has its place, but so does traditional medicine I think. It's a very personal choice though and people. Goose one or the other, or both, based on what they know and believe, as it should be. My mum did and that was here choice. I respected it.
Acupuncture has always seemed to work for me and the dry needling certainly did so I'd have to I'd do it again if I had to.
