I know that wildlife interaction is frowned upon :no, and I know that I will probably hear a rash of &#@%$ from the PETA extremist:dork2:, but quite frankly I don't care and as you will see...I got what I deserved and I just had to share it! Chalk one up for the Octopus.
But I am still going to play with them, as the % is now back in my favor!
for what it is worth, I don't play with them if they are eating, nesting or mating and I won't force anyone to watch so you will have to click on the link to see the video.

I am speechless trying to imagine what you were thinking! why would you put it on your face?
 
It doesn't take a PETA extremest...it just takes someone with common sense and respect for the environment you are visiting to know that you got what you deserved. You admitted it yourself. Lame.
 
I only put them near my face when they are in the form of ceviche. Then I can do the biting.
 
First ... OUCH ... but I gotta say that I find it amazing how infrequently someone gets bit by a tako considering how often so many of us play with and handle them ... still OUCH - hope ya' heal up quick.

Aloha, Tim
