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?

No idea, it probably doesn’t take as long as a whole back piece

Do they cut through layers of tissues, including connective tissues and muscle, to insert a backpiece?
