Can you get a tattoo before you have surgery?

== == Getting a tattoo actually becomes addicting after you've had one. It's comparable to getting scratched on a bad sunburn - but in a good way. The longer the artist has to spend on one area, the more sore it will get and some people can tolerate it after more than three or so hours. The artist will understand this and you can talk to him or her about the option of going in for multiple appointments. Also, a sidenote on the pain subjectthat I've heard from every tattoo artist that has inked me - women take the pain a lot better. I did a little research on it awhile back and found that this is most likely due to the fact that men are stronger for shorter periods (lifting really heavy things into place) while women are stronger for longer periods (giving birth to a child). The pain is part of the experience, and it can be a tremendous release. In a short answer, no. Absolutely not. General anesethia carries a risk of DEATH, while getting a tattoo carries a risk of hurting for a few minutes. If you can't handle the sensation, you have no business getting tattooed. No. However, you can obtain topical anasthetics from your local pharmacy. These are simply gauze-like pads saturated with a novocaine or similar-based substance which numbs your nerve endings, much like orajel for teething babies and toothaches. Some tattooists offer a topical anasthetic for a fee.

No, anesthesia can be dangerous, and as far as topical anesthetics I would say don't waste your money. As a heavily tattooed girl, I can tell you that those things won't make a difference and the pain isn't that severe anyways.

Well, I had a tonsillectomy on Jan. 28 and today is Feb. 10 and I am still tyring to heal, but for the most part the bad type of pain in my throat and ear is gone, however, i still have a little difficulty swallowing and eating certain things. My tongue feels very funny when I use it to eat-like floss is holding my tongue down in the back and it shocks me when I use it too much. My taste buds are kind of screwed up and most things I used to eat don't taste very good anymore. So, it's been two weeks and I still am not completely healed. By the way I am 31 years old. It seems the younger you are the faster you heal-one week if you are about 9 years old! Why didn't I do this long ago??
