MIAMI, Fla. — A Florida tattoo parlor is offering customers anesthesia for tattoo appointments, allowing large-scale work to be completed in a single session.
These medically supervised procedures, which include a nurse and an anesthesiologist for monitoring, cost around $32,000.
The owner of the tattoo parlor indicated that complex, large-scale tattoos can typically take years to finish, requiring multiple lengthy appointments.
The use of anesthesia enables these extensive tattoo projects to be completed in one five- to six-hour session.
Dr. Anesthesiology Chief Cameron Howard emphasized the importance of safety measures for these procedures.
“For patients receiving anesthesia for a tattoo, they should have all of the same precautions and the same emergency capabilities available to them,” Dr. Howard said.
