Good product
It's a good product, I put it on my arm after taking a shower with hot water so that the pores in the skin would open. I put it on for two hours before going to my tattoo appointment. At the time they thought about doing the tattoo, I didn't feel anything for 5 hours. Afterwards, I felt a little pain, but in the end, the product promises what it says.

Real world review. Just did a 4-hour lower leg sleeve session. my first time using numbing cream. Applied a thick layer from knee to ankle, wrapped with Saran Wrap 2 hours before. The first 1hr 45min was fantastic ,couldn't feel a thing, even on the shin bone. I actually fell asleep for 20 minutes! When it wore off in one area, we switched to another spot still completely numb and finished pain-free. Amazed at how well it worked. Can't recommend it enough!

This is the only product I've been using to numb up before tattoos. I've used it on my whole leg sleeve. It lasts roughly 3 to 5 hours. I recommend applying it 20 to 30 minutes before you arrive at your tattoo appointment and let it sit for about an hour before starting any needle work. I wouldn't have been able to start or finish any of my tattoos without it!

This stuff is incredible! I had 2 tattoos done on the tops of my feet but felt nothing but the vibration. I applied a thick layer every hour for the 3 hours leading up to my appointment. I kept them wrapped in saran wrap in between each application, and washed it off about 40 minutes before I was scheduled to start. I'll be using this for all of future tattoos. My tattoo artist was super impressed as well. He said that all of the numbing creams and sprays he's used numb a bit but never fully like this stuff does.

I don’t normally write reviews BUT this cream is the real deal and I wish I had this 15 years ago when I started my tattoo journey. I had a session today and did not feel anything. I have a pretty high pain tolerance but outlining the elbow is no joke and I literally felt nothing. I will forever repurchase!

Absolutely WORKS! I was numb for my entire tattoo and for HOURS after. I left it on for 2 hours, wrapped with Saran Wrap to protect it. If you don’t wanna feel ANYTHING this is your product. Amazing. If I could give it more then stars I would.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will numbing cream affect the tattoo ink or artist’s work?
How long does the numbness actually last?
Is the numbing cream safe to use?
Why not just “tough it out” — isn’t pain part of the tattoo?
Will numbing cream affect the tattoo ink or artist’s work?
A: No — when used correctly, a quality numbing cream does not interfere with ink application or tattoo quality. In fact, many tattoo artists prefer clients to be relaxed and still, which can improve precision and comfort throughout the session.
How long does the numbness actually last?
A: Relief duration varies by skin type and application, but many users report effective numbness lasting up to 4–8 hours when applied properly. This covers most standard tattoo sessions.
Is the numbing cream safe to use?
A: Yes. Our formula is designed for topical use and uses non-prescription maximum strength lidocaine, supported by additional soothing ingredients like menthol, Arnica, and Emu oil. Always follow application instructions and avoid broken skin.
Why not just “tough it out” — isn’t pain part of the tattoo?
A: Pain threshold is personal. Some enjoy pain as part of the experience, others find it distracting or exhausting. Numbing cream lets you control the experience rather than endure it — it doesn’t take away meaning, just unnecessary discomfort.
Can numbing cream be used for piercings or other skin procedures?
How long before my tattoo session should I apply the numbing cream?
Will numbing cream completely eliminate all pain?
Does it help with redness and healing after the session?
Can numbing cream be used for piercings or other skin procedures?
A: Yes. Numbing creams are often used for piercings, laser treatments, minor cosmetic procedures, and sensitive areas. Just follow proper guidelines for duration and application.
How long before my tattoo session should I apply the numbing cream?
A: Apply your numbing cream about 50–70 minutes before your session. then cover with plastic wrap to enhance absorption. The cream needs time to penetrate skin and reach optimal numbness.
Will numbing cream completely eliminate all pain?
A: Most people experience significantly reduced pain and discomfort, often reporting near “no pain” for much of the session. Individual experiences vary by pain tolerance and tattoo location, but the goal is to reduce sharp and stinging sensations, not to remove awareness entirely.
Does it help with redness and healing after the session?
A: While numbing cream’s primary purpose is pain relief, ingredients like Arnica and Emu Oil can help soothe redness and support smoother healing when used as directed after the session.
