Does Anyone Do Permanent Makeup with Sedation?

I tried to have permanent eyeliner done and could not finish the procedure due to the pain and the anxiety of the procedure. I kept trying to grab the girls arm preventing her from putting the machine near my eye - I could not control the urge to protect my eye. She is a good practitioner but the numbing solutions were not enough to minimize my discomfort.

A: Permanent Makeup under light sedation

Permanent makeup is an important adjunct to aesthetic rejuvenation and can be performed under light sedation or anesthesia in most cases.  This allows for correct placement of the tattoo and does cost more given the cost of facility and anesthesia.
