    Ignoring safety concerns with administering and looking after the patient. the cost increase of getting a tattoo would be astronomical.

    of couse it has to be done by someone who is qualified for this and if someone is willing to pay for it why not, people pay a lot mopney for dumb stuff since forever. I mean sure if there is no need for it then there is no market for it but I’m really curious if someone actually tried it before in his tatoo shop.

      Anesthesiologist salaries range from $300k+ to 500k+ according to a quick Google search. Doing the same for tattoo artists say the very very top earners can be in the $300k+ range.

      I went into this comment prepared to say that you’re underestimating how much more expensive it would be, but looking at that I guess there’s no real reason you shouldn’t be able to shell out 2-10x the money (I have no idea how much the equipment and consumables cost) to get a really really nice tattoo without feeling the pain.
