Anesthesia Tattoos: FAQ's

Can I get anesthesia for a tattoo session?

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.

Where can I get anesthesia tattoos?

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.

How do anesthesia tattoos actually work?

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.

How much does it cost to get tattoos under-anesthesia?

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.

What are the risks of getting tattooed under general anesthesia?

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.

What are the benefits of getting tattooed under anesthesia?
  • Pain Free Tattoo Session
    Anesthesia allows you to skip the physical pain entirely, especially for full sleeves, back pieces, or torso tattoos that would normally take multiple sessions.
  • Longer Sessions, Faster Results
    Since you’re sedated and comfortable, artists can work for longer periods without needing to stop for pain breaks. What might take 3-4 sessions in the U.S. can often be done in one day here in Colombia. Saving you time, money, and travel.
  • Improved Tattoo Recovery
    Some clients report that their skin is less irritated after a sedated session compared to a regular one. You’re less likely to move or get stressed, which can reduce swelling and trauma to the skin.
  • Ideal for High-Achievers, Celebs, and Athletes
    Many celebrities and athletes, including top-tier professionals choose sedation because they’re too busy (or too pain-averse) to sit through 20+ hours of tattooing. Getting it all done in one go just makes sense.

Is it safe to get a tattoo under anesthesia?

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.

Is general anesthesia used for tattoos?

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.
