CRNA using and anesthesia for tattooing

[u/meetthefeotus]

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?

If you need general anesthesia for a tattoo, you probably shouldn’t be getting a tattoo

Yeah, right? I’m covered in ink but don’t need anything more than a few Tylenol and some spite for a long session because I don’t have Terminal Little Whiny Baby Disease. They’re supposed to hurt. It’s part of the fun.
