Yes - when done properly under medical supervision. At Anesthesia by Global Inked, all sedated tattoo sessions are performed in a licensed plastic surgery clinic with certified anesthesiologists and medical staff. We use professional-grade sedation methods (like IV sedation or local anesthesia), monitor you throughout, and provide post-session aftercare to ensure safety and comfort.
Colombia is the top destination for anesthesia tattoos, especially for large pieces. Global Inked offers the first dedicated experience for pain-free tattooing in Colombia, combining elite artists with licensed medical teams in safe clinical setting. The quality is world-class, and the cost is far lower than in the U.S.
Anesthesia tattoos use medical sedation to eliminate pain during your session, perfect for large or detailed pieces. At Global Inked, licensed medical professionals handle the anesthesia while top artists do the work in a clinical setting. It’s a safe, comfortable way to sit through long tattoos without the pain.
In the U.S., anesthesia tattoos can cost $50,000–$200,000. At Global Inked in Colombia, a full-day sedated session typically ranges from $15,000 to $35,000 USD including the tattoo, anesthesia, medical team, clinical facility, and aftercare. It’s a safer, more affordable way to get large tattoos without the pain.
Like any medical procedure, anesthesia tattoos come with some risks, such as drowsiness, nausea, or rare complications. The difference? Tattoos are non-invasive. At Global Inked, all sessions are overseen by licensed anesthesiologists to ensure safety, comfort, and proper aftercare.
Yes, when done right. All sedated tattoo sessions are overseen by licensed medical professionals in clinical environments that meet international safety standards, here at GLOBAL INKED. We screen every client beforehand and never administer anesthesia outside of a medically supervised setting. Like any sedation, there are some risks, but with our vetted medical team, your safety comes first.
In rare cases, yes. General anesthesia, the same type used in surgeries can be used for tattoos, particularly for large pieces or for clients with extreme anxiety or low pain tolerance. Under general anesthesia, you're fully unconscious and intubated, with your vital signs continuously monitored.
At Global Inked, this option is only offered in clinical settings and under the care of an experienced anesthesiologist and a licensed medical doctor, ensuring the highest level of safety. Most clients, however, opt for IV sedation, which allows them to sleep comfortably without full unconsciousness.
