Have someone use an anestesic gel while getting a tattoo done?
 

I've been thinking about it, but I also think pain is an important part of getting the tattoo. Any thoughts, experiences on this are appreciated.

I put it on my lips once cus i'd had too much coke and i kept licking my lips!

As for the tattoo, put up with the pain, like you said it's part of the experience!

I got my tattoo (4 symbols) down the inner forearm ... one of the nasty places to get it done ... but I didn't have any anesthetic... It's fucking horribly painful, but dude .... it doesn't last that long ... my ear peircings (top of the back of my ear) hurt more over time ... the tattoo stops hurting almost immediately after the needle comes off ....

Sure... the needle feels like a scalpel taking chunks from your arm or whatevr .... but it only lasts the duration of the tattoo creation :)

the pain is part of it.

Take it from my, a guy with zero tats or piercings :thumbsup

Tattoopain feels good.

The area gets numb after a while anyways. I guess your nerves get tired of firing. :1orglaugh

Getting a tat doesn't hurt :1orglaugh

dont use any anesthetic just go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!

the area gets fucking numb n shit after a few minutes that it wont hurt as much

I don't have any tattoo yet, but I might use it if ever I'll get my first one. :winkwink:

I've had lots of work done and the pain always goes away after a while .. the only places that had steady pain was the elbow (inside and outside) and in the armpit .... I actually fallen asleep during some of my work. Then again the artist says i sit very well ..better then most

I say just go for it. The pain changes you... makes it all worth it

checkout some of my work and many others on the inked nation link in my sig :thumbsup

funny story .... i had both of my forearms touched up and then they bandage em up and shit... so afterwards i call my doc and say yo i need to come asap ...

So i come in all bandaged up like i was in a war zone and tell him , yo give me some damn painkillers .... he wrote me a script but only to last me for a few days

where on your body are you getting it???? some parts hurt like a fucker...

when my back forearm , where the bony part is what getting done i was literally in fucking pain about to cry.... but others parts were not bad

If i was you, i'd use anestesic gel. Tatoo is for result for me, not process of feeling pain.

The pain is totally part of the experience. I got my nipples pierced a few weeks ago, most intense horrible pain I've ever felt.... and I'm so glad I did. It was very enlightening, I felt euphoric for days after.

It doesn't hurt that bad... own your pain...

I'm a big pussy when it comes to any type of pain, I can take a piercing no problem but a tatt is different. So when I got the tatt on my leg I used Emla. It doesn't take the pain away per say but it just dulls it a bit. However the larger the tattoo is the less it works because as you're getting worked on it starts to wear off.

if you use anesthetics while getting a tattoo it takes away from the experience.

my forearm tat didnt hurt much compared to the one i have on my shoulder.

This is the tatt that I used Emla for :) lol Small but let me tell you it hurt like a bitch!

if you need to use anestesic to get a tattoo, you are a fucking pussy and don't deserve one in the first place. i have tattoos in the most painful places and i didnt take anything for the pain before or after.


fuck you pussy

never had any anesthetic
it didn't hurt much plus i love pain ))

where are your tatts ?

besides my arm selves, full back, chest outline... my feet, toes and cock

The cock must be killer .. not sure why you would do that but to each their own ..:thumbsup

I have both arms (one full sleeve ) a little on my back right below my neck (that did hurt a bit but no more then the elbow or armpit ) and one inside my Lip that hurt pretty good.

I hear the chest is pretty bad (sure I'll find out soon ) and I can see the foot hurting.

I don't think i would say any of them are worth using a cream.

I'm thinking getting one in my upper back to the left.

yes, its very painful, as are the tops of your feet. part of getting a tattoo is dealing with the pain. its a rite of passage. if you cant take pain, you dont deserve the tattoo

I like the endorphin rush I get when getting a tat.
first I feel some pain, then a slight burning feeling,
then nothing but a numb buzzy feeling.
