Can you get tattoos under anesthesia?

Absolutely you can get tattoos under anesthesia, and it’s becoming an increasingly popular option for people getting large or painful pieces.

At Global Inked, we offer a medically supervised experience where clients are safely sedated by a certified anesthesiologist in a clinical setting. This allows the artist to complete extensive work, like sleeves or back pieces, in a single session while you remain comfortably unconscious the entire time.

It’s a game-changer for people with low pain tolerance, busy schedules, or simply those who want to avoid the physical and mental fatigue that comes with long hours under the needle. While not common in most countries, we’ve built an entire experience around it in Colombia, one that prioritizes safety, artistry, and comfort.

If you’ve ever thought “I could never sit through 10+ hours of tattooing,” sedation might be the perfect solution.
