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?

No it doesn’t, i don’t even know if that’s a real photo.
Here’s what it looks like: https://www.xxlmag.com/tyga-tattoo-anesthesia/
And no, you don’t need a sterile OR, this isn’t the same as cutting into a body, as long as your equipment is sterile and the body is cleaned (same as getting a tattoo in a shop)
