Where can I get anesthesia tattoos?

Colombia is the top destination for anesthesia tattoos, especially for large pieces. Global Inked offers the first dedicated experience for pain-free tattooing in Colombia, combining elite artists with licensed medical teams in safe clinical setting. The quality is world-class, and the cost is far lower than in the U.S.

How do anesthesia tattoos actually work?

Anesthesia tattoos use medical sedation to eliminate pain during your session, perfect for large or detailed pieces. At Global Inked, licensed medical professionals handle the anesthesia while top artists do the work in a clinical setting. It's a safe, comfortable way to sit through long tattoos without the pain.

How much does it cost to get tattoos under-anesthesia?

In the U.S., anesthesia tattoos can cost $50,000–$200,000. At Global Inked in Colombia, a full-day sedated session typically ranges from $12,000 to $25,000 USD including the tattoo, anesthesia, medical team, clinical facility, and aftercare. It's a safer, more affordable way to get large tattoos without the pain.

What are the risks of getting tattooed under general anesthesia?

Like any medical procedure, anesthesia tattoos come with some risks, such as drowsiness, nausea, or rare complications. The difference? Tattoos are non-invasive. At Global Inked, all sessions are overseen by licensed anesthesiologists to ensure safety, comfort, and proper aftercare.

What are the benefits of getting tattooed under anesthesia?

Anesthesia allows you to skip the physical pain entirely, especially for full sleeves, back pieces, or torso tattoos. Since you're sedated and comfortable, artists can work for longer periods without needing to stop for pain breaks. What might take 3-4 sessions in the U.S. can often be done in one day in Colombia. Some clients report that their skin is less irritated after a sedated session. Many celebrities and athletes choose sedation because they're too busy to sit through 20+ hours of tattooing.

Is it safe to get a tattoo under anesthesia?

Yes, when done right. All sedated tattoo sessions are overseen by licensed medical professionals in clinical environments that meet international safety standards at Global Inked. We screen every client beforehand and never administer anesthesia outside of a medically supervised setting. Like any sedation, there are some risks, but with our vetted medical team, your safety comes first.

Is general anesthesia used for tattoos?

General anesthesia is fully unconscious and intubated in clinical settings with an anesthesiologist and a licensed medical doctor. IV sedation is also used for tattoo procedures.
