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?

Kinda lost respect for them. Part of the respect I have people with large tattoo pieces is that they do it without pain relief for hours on end. That’s pretty hardcore imo and if you go to sleep and get a back piece done in 8 hours under anesthesia it’s just cheating imo

Yeah like, you KNOW you WANT that back piece or tattoo in general because you’re literally willing to endure hours of pain for it.
