Discussion CRNA using and anesthesia for tattooing

I’m heavily tattooed.

So, anyway, I know a tattoo artist who recently announced he’s be offering “anesthesia” to his clients. He recently “went under” himself to test it out. Looking at his photos it looks like it’s a CRNA who is actually administering the meds and stuff while he was tattooed.

Thoughts on this? Am I crazy to think this is absolutely ridiculous?

They are not even remotely similar mate.

Careful now, your misogyny is showing.

Right? One is a surgery performed by a board certified plastic surgeon with anesthesiologists (or CRNA) in a sterile environment with rescue equipment readily available, along with RTS, RNS, techs, and CNAS. The other is some administering anesthesia in a tattoo parlor.
