Is it Safe to Inject Lidocaine in Eyebrows Before Getting a Tattoo?

Yes. This is totally safe. You can also try a topical numbing cream which will significantly reduce the discomfort. I hope this information is helpful. Stephen Weber, M.D. Lone Tree Facial Plastic Surgeon

There is no need to inject lidocaine for eyebrow treatments at all.

Injecting Lidocaine into the brow area prior to the procedure is overkill in my opinion. Totally not neccessary! Topical anesthetics provide more than adequate pain control. One must make sure the Tech or Doctor performing the procedure is not using expired anesthetics, as this will reduce the efficacy. Honestly, this is NOT surgery! My clients are very relaxed, and are not bothered by the procedure whatsoever, apart from the occasional sneeze and or itchy nose! My machine vibrates, so sometimes it can create a tickle sensation in the sinuses.
