    Okay beyond the interesting choice of words. If anyone is wondering why anesthesia is not available at tattoo palaces is that it would be illegal. Sometimes there are laws that expressly prohibit this, but often it is just illegal through default as an anesthesiologist would be required and I don’t think there are many moonlighting as tattoo artists.

      They have and use lidocaine. For any real anesthesia they would need a Dr and that would get expensive fast.

            Yes but you can’t give it to people. I know this seems really weird but you can go buy it and use it for yourself, but that is it. As soon as you are giving to someone else it is being prescribed. So you go to a tattoo parlor and they offered you OTC lidocaine it would be prescribing. Call it stupid but that is the way it is.
