It is possible, but it takes 2 hours to start working, and makes the skin harder/rubbery which results in alot of color fall out. Getting tattooed is a right of passage. You need to feel that pain to get the accomplishment at the end..to even be worthy of one. If you are worried about the pain, dont get the tattoo.

∙ 12y agoThere are topical analgesics and anasthetics that you can get to use while tattooing, but most people advise against using them mainly due to the fact that you never know what reaction it will have with the client as well as the fact that there are legality reasons as well since tattoo artists are not legally permitted to administer anasthetics in almost all states. However, topical lidocaine is amongst some of the better products that you can get your hands on, as well as a myriad of other products that can be bought in first aid isles in most stores. In any event, if you do use it, just don't coat it on or use a lot.
