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

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.

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.

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