I wonder if that is the same sensation as some of these gals that pierce their nipples?

Having experienced "Quill" problems in the past, I have a suggestion for future considerations. Sometimes this works okay, and sometimes you can't tell if it helps or not.
Cut the quill ends off, or cut them in half, with a pair of side cutters, or wire cutters, BEFORE you attempt to pull them with pliers. This relieves the so-called 'vacuum' which exists inside the quills, and makes them easier to extract from the animal tissue without creating ADDITIONAL trauma in the entry wound.
It is a terrible situation to confront no matter how minor the damage happens to be!

ps- By the way - you can buy a product called "Skunk Off" that, when used on a dog, will MINIMIZE the odor considerably - at least until the dog comes in from a rain storm and gets his hair soaking wet, then that same old familiar aroma wafts its way into your olfactory nerves and -- WHAMM-O - there it is again! :gag: You can also use concentrated tomato soup (LOTS of it!) and wash your dog with it by using the tomato goop as soap - then rinse - rinse - rinse - rin . . . . well, you get the point!!

Some years back, a momma skunk and her little ones-barely big enough to tag along behind momma-was going across a field near the house. One was laggin back a bit-so I got brave, and went an caught him. Made a good pet, lived in the house mostly, liked to sleep under the couch. One day an insurance fella come by wanting to try and talk me into buying his insurance. Let him in the house, he sat on the couch, giving his spiel. The skunk woke up and come meandering out from under the couch...kinda stopped and looked back...that fella's eyes got as big as silver dollars...didnt stay long after that 
I got a good chuckle watching that fella head for his car.

Thought I might have to take this tire to the veterinarian, but it got well on its own. Time heals all wounds.
