Any tattoo artists out there that can answer this question....?

Why in this day and age is there no pain relief for having a tattoo???They dont use creams or gels,why not a local anesthetic first?I bet the celebs have something to numb it??!!!

Hi there, I am not a tattoo artist but there is actually a cream that you can buy now which numbs your skin. My tattoo studio sell it and its £5 tube. apparently it works a treat. have a look around and I am sure you will find somewhere that sells it.

• I'm not a tattoo artist, however I've read that most substances marketed for this purpose make the skin swell, and can result in a distorted tattoo. Also, if it didn't hurt at least a little bit, you'd probably have way more people rushing into the process and making stupid and careless decisions.
• Tattoo artists aren't certified to do a local anesthetic.
  
  And it really just isn't necessary.
• i thought the pain was half the fun :)
