Dear Mr,
The normal percentage of oxygen in atmospheric air is 20 % . Short time use of Oxygen is definitely beneficial, but the mechanism of action is not by lowering the blood pressure.
Let me explain you the benefits of Oxygen and how Oxygen parlors evolved.
We all live a stressful life, lack of sleep, adrenaline rush , lack of exercise , unhealthy food. These all lead to a state of fatigue: We do no follow breathing exercise, and sometimes our oxygenation of blood is affected leading to lack of concentration and loss of feeling of well being.
10- 20 minutes of supplemental Oxygen acts by following
1. There is increase in partial pressure of Oxygen in blood( After saturation of Hemoglobin binding, the dissolved Oxygen in blood increases)----------- This causes Better oxygen supply to brain------- Resulting in better concentration ability, feeling of generalized well being, relaxed mind. In short an individual ends up feeling Rejuvenated
2. It also releases Endorphins: Better oxygenation causes release of Endorphins from brain. Endorphins are naturally occurring analgesics(relieve pain) in body. Release of which causes Elevation of mood. increased threshold to pain and better ability to tolerate pain.
I hope this was helpful
Wishing you Best of Luck in your Endeavor.
God bless you.
Take Care

Increased Oxygen acting indirectly helps lower blood pressure by its calming action. It also promotes Hemostasis that is helps maintain the coagulation and bleeding profile within normal limits. Short term use of Oxygen as short as 15 minutes has been proven to have such effect.
Individual undergoing tattooing will definitely be benefited by short term administration of Oxygen
