eli5: why is anesthesia not applied in these cases?

880 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?

It’s not that painful to get body art vs medical surgery And probably a ton more expensive and way more red tape than it’s worth to incorporate anaesthesia into tattoos and piercings. I have 3 tattoos and 9 piercings and never thought any of them were worth getting anaesthesia for.
