    See that little hook at the point? This is from penetrating skin ONCE.

    This is why you don’t re-use needles folks!

      I can’t believe it’s that fine or how easily human skin can bend it. I guess our skin is a better protector than I’d given credit.

      All these images are super interesting and I’m truly glad they got posted.
