I think it'd be one of the least painful places. The scalp is thin, and isn't overly sensitive, think of how professional wrestlers often cut their scalp on purpose. And I don't think the skull has a ton of nerves in the first place.
A relative had brain surgery for a tumor, and if I'm remembering what she said from fifteen years ago correctly she said the anesthesia shot hurt, than the rest was more a relief than anything as the tumor had been applying constant pressure for years.
- aix1 4y ago> think of how professional wrestlers often cut their scalp on purpose Wait, what? (I am even hesitant to ask as I'm not sure I'm ready to hear the answer, whatever it might be.)
- Entinel 4y agoSo when pro wrestlers bleed there are two ways, blading and hard way. Hard way is exactly as it sounds, someone got hit so hard they got busted open. The second and what the OP is referring to is blading, you get a thin razor blade and nick your scalp-forehead area and you start bleeding. It isn't as extreme as they made it sound.
- Andoryuuta 4y agoI just googled it because I've never heard of it before... it's pretty crazy. Apparently, the wrestlers cut themselves on their scalp / forehead some time into a match to make the match look more intense, with the blood from their head mixing with sweat and dripping down... A 17 year old kid was even hospitalized due to blood loss from it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blading_(professional_wrestling) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blading_(professional_wrestl...
- grogenaut 4y agoOh wow you're in for a fun day of googling, on the innner world of wrestling. Look up Face, Heel, Turn, Kayfabe, and then go deeper if you want.
- tomcam 4y agoScalps bleed like crazy and they don't hurt much. Plus performing live has some kind of anesthetic quality.
- nottorp 4y agoHad that happen to me accidentally. I felt just fine(tm) but everyone was looking at me like i was dying. In hindsight i probably looked like Carrie from Stephen King's novel, could feel the blood on my face. Bleeding stopped in a minute or two just by holding a towel on the scratched part.
- tomcam 4y agoLove that story. I would absolutely flip out if it happened to my wife or kids even knowing what I do.
- failrate 4y agoWhen you see a wrestler blading or doing a bump, it is still painful. Probably not as painful as it looks, but still painful.
- boomboomsubban 4y agoI wasn't trying to imply cutting the scalp would be pain free, but it wouldn't be "excruciatingly painful" like the poster said.
- failrate 4y agoGotcha.
