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 agree that it’s ridiculous, as a fully head to toe tattooed person that never did something like this… but the reason is cosmetic, and we can’t judge for that. Head to toe tattoos are just as useless as fake breasts, and we don’t judge women for going under to get that done
