eli5: why is anesthesia not applied in these cases?

892 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?

Permanent makeup is made after applying numbing cream, so it’s possible to have local topical anesthetic with tattoos and piercings. When inserting iud, local anesthetic also may be applied, as it was in my case.
