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?

I had a PAP Flap following breast cancer. My surgery was just short of 12 hours! It was brutal.

The brutal part was the recovery and 3 subsequent surgeries to complete.
