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?

The people performing these are generally not licensed to provide medical procedures which the administration of most effective anesthesia requires. They could offer these services, but it would make the tattoos much more expensive–they’d need to become licensed themselves or hire someone who is licensed and buy appropriate insurance.
For many undergoing these procedures the pain is part of the experience. I don’t understand this, but I don’t understand the desire for tattoos or piercings in the first place.
There are some OTC remedies than can provide moderate relief, but once again the one receiving the tattoo would likely have to purchase and apply it themselves since it could provide a mechanism for liability if the tattoo parlor did it.
