The invention relates to a combination for tattooing, comprising a tattoo ink and one or more local anaesthetics for skin, wherein the tattoo ink and the one or more local anaesthetics exist together in a liquid composition, or the tattoo ink exists in a first liquid composition and the one or more local anaesthetics exist in a second liquid composition, wherein a portion of the first composition and a portion of the second composition exist together in a liquid composition before and during the tattooing. The one or more local anaesthetics are located on one or more needles of a tattooing device, together with the tattoo ink, during the tattooing, and they have a local effect there. The concentration of one or more local anaesthetics in the solution can be varied as required, such that a pain-reduced or even pain-free tattooing is possible.
