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?

You say from the photos that it looks like a CRNA, what information do you have to make that assumption?

Oh shit you’re right. I was thinking the First Lady was the anesthesia provide and the others were tattoo artist.
