Why can a person NOT use a skin numbing agent when getting a tattoo...there are over the counter creams....?

there is a product called emla that numbs the skin to pain...a topical anesthetic....why are people NOT encouraged to use this for tattoos?? it would make the entire experience a much more pleasurable one.....and likely increase the tattoo biz as well....for all those petrified of the pain...


i realize you don't want the numbing agent to wear off, however, you can always stop when it does, usually they last a couple of hours, and apply new if the tattoo you are getting is that huge......n'est pas??


love to hear your answers


thanking you in advanceWhy can a person NOT use a skin numbing agent when getting a tattoo...there are over the counter creams....?
I have 3 tattoos...my guy actually uses one that is made for tattoo artists. You might want to check around. There could be some that don't know about it?





It is a very short term thing and it doesn't completely kill the pain, it's just to ease it a little.Why can a person NOT use a skin numbing agent when getting a tattoo...there are over the counter creams....?
okay, so anesthetic for tattoo artists exists....


in canada? i'm in toronto......anyone know anyone who knows anyone who knows a tattoo artist who uses such products here, in toronto, and what the product is called? Report Abuse

if you are young think about when you are 50 or 60 and think how stupid the tatto will look on your old flabby body
Who said you can't use it? I was thinking about doing the same thing.
Pain is part of the tattoo. Getting a tattoo is almost like a spiritual experience - you are doing something permanent, takes a lot of decision making, and does involve a certain amount of pain. Millions of people have gotten tats without anesthetic. If you think you need painkiller don't get a tat. The exception is permanent makeup (eyeliner, lip liner which is basically tattooed on) which is done for different reasons.
Just have to suck it up, hell, be a man! Otherwise, don't get any :)
