Are there any anesthesia I can take prior to my tattoo removal?

February 25, 2017
Asked By:Minniechel in Calgary, AB

I have my first session coming up and I am very scared about the pain. I have EMLA cream right now and plan to take Tylenol. I was wondering if there is anything else I can take that would help ease the pain? They do not have injections at the place I am going to.
