eli5: why is anesthesia not applied in these cases?

864 views

Piercings and tattoos, I mean. Wouldn’t it be easy if we just applied anesthesia? I don’t know if there’s a reason why, but I do wanna know.

*Also, why isn’t anesthesia applied for IUD insertion?

Because you’d need to be licensed to give these drugs or hire someone to do it and have all the appropriate infrastructure in place.

And besides, you could come in beforehand with OTC pain meds. (Just check if that doesn’t interfere)

And the pain is generally not that bad. (Usually a bit of stinging when it comes to piercings but that’s it.)

Unless you choose sensitive places of course.
But that’s all you.
