Is it safe to get a tattoo under anesthesia?

Yes, getting a tattoo under anesthesia can be as safe as any procedure that requires anesthesia when performed in the right environment by licensed medical professionals. The key is ensuring that the sedation is administered by a qualified anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist in a setting that meets proper clinical standards.

At Global Inked, we partner with vetted medical teams in Colombia to oversee every anesthesia-assisted tattoo session. Our procedures follow medical safety protocols, and clients undergo health screening beforehand to confirm eligibility. We do not use anesthesia outside of clinical spaces or without licensed professionals present.

That said, any form of sedation comes with potential risks, such as breathing complications or reactions to medication. That’s why it's critical to work with a team that understands both the medical and tattooing aspects of the experience.
