Wonder where he got this done. Airway doesn't look difficult at all.
I can only see the partial pic of his face there but he does have that little beard that shows he may be hiding no chin under it. And he does have a thick neck... so its possibly not easy....

Who knows what equipment they have or don't have there? Maybe he didn't fast, and aspirated? Wouldn't be uncommon for people to think they're above the rules given its in the cosmetics side of the equation
 
Why would they need GA for a tattoo? it’s one thing to provide some fent/midaz sedation akin to a couple drinks. GA is idiotic.

It’s possible they did it without capnography, sux, difficult airway cart, back up personnel etc. Who even knows if they had a ventilator or just planned to bag the guy for hours.I mean even in the great USA I see basement endoscopy suites that do scopes with no bags of fluids, no sux, no etco2 etc.

Asa standards irrelevant until they’re relevant

Sooooo they can’t come back and do it in stages? Idk this whole idea is ludicrous
GA for tattoos isn't uncommon @ all unfortunately anymore. A partner does it on the side. Agreed it's ludicrous but then again these people are paying a tonne of money to horribly disfigure themselves so what do you expect?

Theyre all 'influencers' full of steroids cocaine and short life span
Its no big deal
