They have and use lidocaine. For any real anesthesia they would need a Dr and that would get expensive fast.

    Lidocaine is still a prescription drug so would still need a doctor to administer it.

    You can get topical creams at a pharmacy or drug store without prescription.

    Yes but you can't give it to people. I know this seems really weird but you can go buy it and use it for yourself, but that is it. As soon as you are giving to someone else it is being prescribed. So you go to a tattoo parlor and they offered you OTC lidocaine it would be prescribing. Call it stupid but that is the way it is.
