so I'd think that if a place offer euthanasia id probably be more likely to visit

I'd feel the same, sometime

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 28 points 8 months ago

Every. Damn. Day.

[-] cuerdo@lemmy.world 65 points 8 months ago

he may be a moron, but he has a point

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 37 points 8 months ago

he makes a valid argument, just not the one he was trying to make.

[-] MagnyusG@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago

yeah, the simple answer would be that you don't need a doctorate to tattoo, and I would assume most tattoo shops can't exactly support an anesthesiologist financially.

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

but what about a eunaesthetist?

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

All you really need is good, solid brick.

Anastasia isn’t good for you, the thing that can knock you out can kill you or still be bad for you in general.

[-] bob_lemon@feddit.de 24 points 8 months ago

While it's not everyone's favourite, I don't think listening to Anastasia is all that harmful.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 6 points 8 months ago

Honestly I saw that movie as a kid and I never understood how 20th Century Fox wasn't a big player in the animated film industry. I guess it's technically a disney movie, now?

Why do you say they are a moron?

It's a valid question.

Edit: ok, English is hard i confused the words as well. Asking why tattoo studios don't offer anesthesia is a valid question, euthanasia would be assisted suicide.

Because you can fuckin die. Anesthesia is a risk every time you go under. It's a scary business.

[-] Kethal@lemmy.world 83 points 8 months ago

Yeah, and the risk of death with euthanasia is even higher!

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Imagine that!

They didn't even notice that euthanasia was not the right word for the situation, I doubt they actually meant anesthesia that completely puts one under. That would be risky. But most dentists just use local anesthesia and maybe nitrous oxide as a sedative, and these are much less risky. Not sure I'd trust a tattoo artist with access to a steady supply of nitrous at work, definite Steve Martin from Little Shop of Horrors vibes.

[-] ours@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

And the pain is a bonus for some. No seriously, they get something like runner's high and some people enjoy that.

Yeah, there's a really good reason anesthesiology pays a shitload of money.

[-] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

That's true for general anesthesia, but what about local anesthesia?

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 37 points 8 months ago

This reminds me of being a child and wondering why tf everyone was so concerned with the "youth in Asia."

Okay beyond the interesting choice of words. If anyone is wondering why anesthesia is not available at tattoo palaces is that it would be illegal. Sometimes there are laws that expressly prohibit this, but often it is just illegal through default as an anesthesiologist would be required and I don't think there are many moonlighting as tattoo artists.

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

They have and use lidocaine. For any real anesthesia they would need a Dr and that would get expensive fast.

[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

You could get away with an anesthetist like dentist offices use. But yes, expensive.

Just like my classmate many years ago: my phone rang during a class, and afterwards she advised me to put it in vibrator mode

[-] KreekyBonez@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

if it vibrates intentionally, it is, in fact, a "vibrator"

work in the right factory, and you may get to experience "erectors" too!

Me: I went to medical school

Them: what area did you specialize in?

Me: Tatoology. I’m a board certified tatoologist and offer pain free body art.

[-] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

There are actually medical tattoo technicians (used in radiology to place targeting tattoos) it helps the oncology team line up the equipment perfectly every time.

And also reconstruction tattoo artists that are considered part of the allied healthcare industry, they work with reconstructive plastics and cosmetic surgeons. They can tattoo over hypopigmented scar tissue, they can create photorealistic nipples on people who had radical mastectomies, they can help blend the surrounding skin to seamlessly match a prosthesis through what is essentially permanent contouring.

It requires specialist training it's not something any old tattoo artist could do. Scarred, burned and surgically damaged skin does not respond the same to ink and the skill level required is immense. But the quality of life and pshyc-social benefit to a patients health is worth it for those that get these tattoos.

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I remember reading this really interesting story about a regular tattoo guy who kind through accident got into doing tattooed nipples. Now he gets before pictures and spends time doing pre-tattoo practice sketches. He spends a lot of time talking the ladies through the whole thing on the phone. In part because a lot of the ladies are like 50/60 and have never had a tattoo in their lives.

It was pretty fascinating and the amount of life satisfaction the guy got from it was amazing. He still did regular tattoo work but he really found the reconstructive work was a whole other level.

Oh fuck me...I read over it briefly and totally got his point but didn't realize he used euthanasia instead of anesthesia and was confused why there was no explanation in the comments or why this is even funny.

So, pardon me if this sounds stupid, but his general idea with the anesthesia doesn't sound that stupid right, right? Oh god this is a stupid question isn't it...

[-] Matty_r@programming.dev 25 points 8 months ago

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

Because anesthesia has a non-trivial chance of immediately killing you every time it's used. It's why major surgeries are always a last resort, and why minor surgeries use topical anesthesics instead of systemic (completely different drugs). It would be medical malpractice to use anesthesia for something that does not absolutely require it. No anesthesiologist would risk their liscense for it.

Anesthesia has a lot of issues as other people mentioned but I imagine a topical pain killer wouldn't be the worst thing ever at a tattoo shop. That being said, many people that get tattoos low-key enjoy the pain... Or maybe that's just me.

[-] avater@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Me too buddy

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

What's the point of getting dental work or a tattoo when you've already arranged for the technicians to kill you?

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

This shit had me cracking up

Well I hope he never visits one of those countries that offer euthanasia cause he might die thinking he was gonna get an anesthetic.

Hey this is like the debate over capital punishment in schools

[-] umbraroze@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

...there are dentists who offer anesthesia as a fun little option if you think you can't handle the pain?

...excuse me.

...WHAT.

[-] Donut@leminal.space 11 points 8 months ago

Not as a fun little option, at least not here. If you're too scared of the dentist to the point of panic attacks (anxiety can override rationality) then you can be put under for the procedure to reduce emotional trauma and even to prevent hurting yourself.

If you are looking for slow euthanasia, just go to all the back alley tattoo places and pick up HIV, hepatitis, etc.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

"Scared of dentists? Try dying!"

My sister got a tattoo recently and apparently they do offer some kind of pain mediation. They offered her novacaine to numb the site of the tat.
