eli5: why is anesthesia not applied in these cases?

888 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?

Like, the cost for your tattoo would probably triple or quadruple with anesthesia so thats realistically the main reason. But also, anesthesia entails risk. Its quite safe now a days, but that you can still have many different complications, many life threatening. Not worth it when tattoos really aren’t that painful for the most part
