When Are They Used In Piercing & Tattooing? This type of anaesthetic is never used in body piercing. The use of injectables is prohibited outside a medical setting and training is needed. The second type of local anaesthetic is one administered via injection into the tissue (under the skin). They give a short-term effect and are often found in other medicines like ulcer gels and antiseptic creams.

Local anaesthetics are split into a further 2 groups – topical (usually creams or gels, but also liquid sprays) anaesthetics are used on unbroken skin and often rubbed in or covered with a non-porous dressing and left for a period of time. A patient is either completely ‘asleep’ or they are ‘sedated’ (which means they are conscious, but not fully aware of their procedure – often having no memory of it after the sedation wears off). Medical professionals are trained specially in dosage, use and administration of these, and the meds are never seen anywhere outside a surgery situation. General anaesthetics in the wrong/unexperienced hands are extremely dangerous. **DISCLAIMER – I DO NOT AND WILL NOT USE ANY ANAESTHETICS OF ANY DESCRIPTION IN PIERCING PROCEDURES AND WILL NOT PERFORM ANY PIERCING PROCEDURE ON AN AREA THAT I KNOW OR BELIEVE TO HAVE HAD AN ANAESTHETIC APPLIED** (This is discussed later at greater length later).Īnaesthetics are strictly controlled medicines which are used in hospitals and ‘medical’ environments so that a patient feels no pain, or is not aware of the procedure they are undergoing – they fall into 2 categories (local – which is where the area is ‘numbed’, and general – which is where you’re ‘put under’ and are asleep for the procedure). Most people are under the impression that piercings hurt a LOT more than they actually do – but when you’re a bit scared, doing something new (or if you just plain don’t like the idea of pain), it can be something you ask for to make the experience as easy as possible. Anaesthetics and ‘numbing’ piercings is something I get asked about a lot.
