What are the benefits of getting tattooed under anesthesia?

Here are the top benefits:

  1. You won’t feel any pain during the tattoo session
    General or IV sedation means you’ll be asleep while the artist works. This eliminates the pain entirely, making the process more comfortable than a traditional session.

  2. Longer tattoo sessions allow more work to be completed in one sitting
    Without pain limits or fatigue, artists can complete sleeves, back pieces, or large custom designs in a single day. This reduces the number of sessions needed.
  3. Sedation reduces movement, resulting in cleaner lines and better precision
    Artists can work more efficiently when clients stay completely still. No twitching, flinching, or shifting leads to sharper lines and smoother shading.
  4. Better ink retention & healing due to less trauma and inflammation
    Staying relaxed under anesthesia means the skin absorbs the needle better and heals more quickly. Many clients report reduced swelling and faster recovery afterward.
  5. It’s ideal for clients with anxiety, low pain tolerance, or medical conditions
    If you’ve delayed a tattoo due to fear, nerves, or pain sensitivity, anesthesia-assisted tattooing creates a calmer, stress-free experience.
