Anesthetic Options for Tattooing
THE INK provides information about anesthetic options for tattoo sessions.
Concerned about pain?
Anesthetic for tattooing is
one option.
You may be interested in getting a tattoo but hesitate because you are concerned about pain during the session.
For clients with these concerns, THE INK provides information about using Painless INK’s online medical consultation before a session.
By consulting a doctor in advance and using the prescribed anesthetic exactly as directed, you may be able to reduce pain associated with the tattoo session.
If you are concerned about pain, consider this as one option when preparing for your session.
Talk to us about pain concerns
before your session.
Everyone experiences pain differently depending on the tattoo placement, session length, and their condition that day.
“I’m worried I won’t be able to handle the pain.”
“The pain is keeping me from deciding whether to go ahead.”
These concerns are completely understandable.
Rather than going into your session while holding on to those concerns, consider anesthetic use as one way to prepare in advance.
What Is Painless INK?
Consult a doctor about anesthetic options from home or another convenient location.
Painless INK is a service that lets you receive an online medical consultation about anesthetic used to reduce pain associated with stimulation of the upper layers of the skin, such as during cosmetic procedures or tattooing.
After you complete the medical questionnaire and consultation, a doctor may prescribe an anesthetic if they determine it is medically appropriate. You can then pay online and have the medication delivered to your designated address.
BIOPORT+ provides the online consultation platform, while consultations and prescriptions are handled by partner medical institutions.
THE INK does not sell, prescribe, or apply anesthetic. Clients must receive a medical consultation in advance and use the medication themselves as directed by their doctor.
Why consider Painless INK
before your session
Once your session date is set, allow enough time for the consultation and delivery.
How It Works
On the Painless INK page, enter information about your current health, medical history, allergies, medications, and other relevant details.
Follow the service instructions to consult with a doctor, and be sure to provide accurate information during the consultation.
Medication is prescribed only if the doctor determines it is appropriate. After payment, it will be delivered to your designated address.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding whether to use the medication, the amount, the area of application, and the timing.
Do not change how you use the medication based on your own judgment.
Once your session date is set,
start preparing early.
The consultation and delivery may take time. If you wish to use anesthetic, check Painless INK well in advance of your tattoo session.
Please also let THE INK know before your session if you plan to use anesthetic.
THE INK can assist with questions about your session date and tattoo placement. For questions about prescriptions or how to use the medication, contact Painless INK or the medical institution providing your consultation.
You do not have to deal with concerns about pain on your own.
Anesthetic is not necessary for everyone.
However, for anyone hesitating because of pain, it is one option that may help ease those concerns.
If you have concerns, start by reviewing the information provided by Painless INK.
