Drug for each receiving a tattoo, feeling queasy (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

painkiller

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drug' is the definition.
(I know that painkiller is a type of drug)

'each receiving a tattoo feeling queasy' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'per' ('per' can mean for each).
'receiving' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'tattoo' becomes 'ink' (ink can informally mean a tattoo).
'feeling queasy' becomes 'ill' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'ink'+'ill'='ainkill'
'per' placed around 'ainkill' is 'PAINKILLER'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for painkiller that I've seen before include "soothing drug" , "Aspirin, for instance" , "Aspirin maybe" , "Analgesic drug" , "form of medicine" .)
