Sit pain-free for your next tattoo with the Signature Tattoo Numbing Cream. Experience complete numbness for up to 5 hours, take fewer breaks, and enjoy the experience!
Use the Signature Numbing Cream to:
Sitting for a couple hours for a huge piece? Or adding some ink to your ribs, chest, or inner arm? The Signature Tattoo Numbing Cream is perfect for those looking to add some style without all the pain.
3 Few Easy Steps - Wash, Apply, Wait
You’re all set! Sit comfortably numb for your entire session without stopping for breaks.
For longer sessions, re-apply the numbing cream as needed. It is 100% safe and only takes 20-40 minutes for a full numbing when reapplying.
Save your skin. Grab the Signature Tattoo Numbing Cream.

Tattoo numbing creams & ointments cause numbness in the desired area and provide a pain-free tattoo experience, even in sensitive areas such as the inner arm & rib cage.
Simply apply the numbing cream to the tattoo area before sitting and enjoy your session pain-free.
The active ingredient is lidocaine, a local anesthetic that blocks pain signals at the nerve endings in the skin. It is commonly used in minor medical procedures, does not cause unconsciousness, and is completely safe.
Tattoo numbing cream lasts 4-6 hours if applied properly. For half & full sleeves or large chest & back tattoos that require longer sessions, you’ll have to take a short break during the session and reapply the cream as needed.
The numbing cream process actually begins a whole day before your appointment.
Spot test the numbing cream on the area that will be tattooed the next day. This is to test your skin’s reaction to the numbing cream. Some minor localized redness is normal.
The last thing you’d want is to experience pain during your tattoo because you forgot to test the numbing cream the day before.
As well, it’s important to avoid drinking any alcohol, beer, or milk for at least 24 hours before your appointment. Alcohol will reduce the effectiveness of the cream, causing pain and other negative side effects.
Here are some other tips for tattoo preparation.
Use soap, water, and an exfoliator to remove any dirt or dead skin from the tattoo area. Be thorough as any debris left behind could reduce the effectiveness of the numbing cream.
Apply at least 60-90 minutes before your appointment and be sure to use a glove to prevent numbness on your fingers and/or hand.
Apply a thick amount of numbing cream (about 3mm) to the area and rub in thoroughly. It should be thick enough to see on your skin, not rubbed in like lotion or sunscreen.
We recommend covering the entire area plus an extra inch on each side to be sure the entire area is numbed properly.
Cover the entire tattoo area with saran or plastic wrap. The wrap prevents the numbing cream from drying out and any debris from entering the area. Leave the wrap on until your artist is ready to begin.
For our Signature and Signature+ Numbing Cream, we recommend waiting at least 60-90 minutes after applying for the best results. Keep the area covered until your session begins.
Once you and the artist are ready to begin, remove the wrap and wipe away all of the numbing cream using a paper towel. Though the cream is gone, you will experience full numbness and allow the artist to proceed without distraction.
One dosage typically lasts for 4-6 hours, long enough to sit for most small to medium-sized tattoos.
For larger tattoos that require more time in the chair, you’ll need to reapply the numbing cream. Just as before, use a glove to apply a thick amount to the remaining area, cover for just 20-40 minutes, and then resume the session.
Because the skin is already open, the numbing occurs much faster.
We recommend applying numbing cream at least 60-90 minutes before your appointment begins to ensure full numbing. Leave it on until you're sitting in the chair. If you’re reapplying during a long session, wait at least 20-40 minutes before resuming the artwork.
Yes, the tattooed area must be completely clear of any cream and shaven of any hair before the session.
And don’t worry if you haven’t shaved, most artists will likely do it themselves to ensure their needle penetrates properly.
Once you’ve waited the recommended amount of time after applying, simply wipe away the excess cream with a paper towel. At this point, the area should be completely numb and will remain so for at least 4-6 hours.
Absolutely. It will give them peace of mind knowing that you’ll be completely numb, free to work without being disturbed by pain or discomfort.
If in doubt, it’s always best to ask your artist during your consultation before using numbing cream. Most will be okay with it, though some may be reluctant.
Regardless, a simple conversation will go a long way to save you both some awkwardness.
Yes, you can re-apply numbing cream during a tattoo, but wait at least 20-40 minutes before resuming your session. It will take less time to activate as your skin is broken. But if you didn't start your session with the cream, it will be rather ineffective if you apply it halfway during your session.

This is the best numbing cream I have tried! A lot of the creams have less that 5% lidocaine, so they aren't as effective. With this cream, I can go a solid two hours without feeling anything. I even was able to read a book while getting tattooed! I have the lowest pain tolerance ever, so I really need this to help the process along. I will say, with color and shading, the more it gets packed in, the more you will feel it. I didn't know until after the fact that I could reapply the cream to help numb the area again. I highly recommend this cream and will be using it for every tattoo from now on!

This stuff is a miracle. I put it on like two hours before I got tattooed. I did two sections my forearm and my bicep. I took off the bicep first he worked on it and then we took off the forearm and I didn’t feel anything. It felt like not even a mosquito bite.

I didn’t feel a thing! I have never used numbing cream for any of my other tattoos, but I wanted to try it for my chest piece. The artist I went to was fine with me using it and she said my skin was responding totally fine while she was tattooing. I’m 4 days post tattoo and it still looks fine and feels fine. I put it on about 830am, my appt started at 10, and ended around 115 and was still numb and not feeling anything. Will definitely recommend and definitely buy again

I was finally convinced to get a tattoo saying the feeling is like a cat scratch, unfortunately for me it was much more intense and it was quite painful. I had initially thought I could sit thru the whole thing but I was definitely wrong. I was only able to get thru the outline. After getting the outline the tattoo artist suggested numbing cream. After several days of research we found your product and what a difference a day makes. I would recommend this product to anyone who doesn't want pain associated with it. After applying it and using it to get the color done, I will say to really slather it on. I could tell where I didn't get enough. Overall, great product!!!

I’ve been getting tattooed for about 25 years now, and as I’ve gotten older, my pain tolerance just isn’t what it used to be. But I still love the art, and I’ve got nothing to prove—so I gave Numbed Ink Co a shot. Wow, what a difference. I picked up a few tubes to try, and honestly, I’m blown away. The numbing cream made a huge difference in comfort during my session, and the aftercare cream is just as impressive. Healing was smoother, and I barely had any of the usual itching. Massive thanks to the team at Numbed Ink Co for making such amazing products. You’ve definitely got a loyal customer here. 🤙🤙

I have used your product for my entire back piece done by Misfits Tattoo in Kingman AZ. Owner Levi told me about your product and I tried it, and will never try another. After application usually lasts 2 to 4 hours then a slight application of another layer with 15 to 30 min break can make a 5 to 8 hour session last with minimal pain. I recommend your product to anyone that is seeing my piece over the 5 month progression. Thank you

The numbing cream worked very well…it lasted for about 2 or 3 hours! I will definitely continue to order more especially since I get tattooed every 2-3 weeks!

I felt the tattoo being done, it never completely went numb as stated it would, I tried this to see if it's really number one and honestly inwant to request my money back as guaranteed. The company painless tattoo is at the top for best consultant numbing cream , I noticed my cream was pink in one container and white in the other one, i ordered the same product??? I'm not mad just not satisfied 😕

BUY IT!!! I have been putting off my first tattoo for years because I’ve been too afraid of the pain. I desperately wanted the first initial of all my miscarried babies (the last one is my daughter’s initial) and I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I made the appt, and then at the last minute freaked out and decided to order cream 4 days before I was supposed to be in the chair. It came in two days and today was the day! I put it on at 8 am for my 9:30 appt and wrapped it. When my tattoo artist started I never felt a thing! I was only in the chair for an hour, but never once was I in any pain or discomfort. I had to ask him if he started! Please buy this. I wish I would have known about this cream a long time ago. I will be a repeat customer, and now I have the confidence to go back and do it again! I never leave reviews, but this one was an absolute must for me! PLACE YOUR ORDER!

As someone who’s sat for 100+ hours without it I was a little skeptical. I applied it once about 45 minutes before my session. Lasted about 3.5 hours, reapplied then and again 2 hours later and felt virtually nothing for my 7.5 hour session. 10/10 would recommend.
