How do you interpret Barney's use of needles in the cycle?

I've not yet completed the cycle, so I admit that this question is a bit short sighted; but I am anxious for your insight.

In C4, the nymphs carefully insert needles into Barney's shoes before he begins his spiraling tap dance descent into the waters....

In C-5, the Queen inserts needles into the magician hair? (I was a bit distracted at this moment of the film, but I noticed the recurrent needle, none the less.)

Thoughts?

Are there more needles in the cycle?
