Ask the pharmacist: You have so much pain with intercourse that you have been prescribed a numbing drug in gel form to make you less sensitive?

Avoid that: If the pain of a tattoo makes you want an anesthetic perhaps you should realize that you are going to cause pain to your self.  Appeal to your own common sense and consider avoiding increased exposure to hepatitis.  Number one cause of hepatitis and liver transplants come from tattoos.  It is a form of self mutilation and you may want to reconsider.
