How to Use

How does tattoo numbing cream work?

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. 

How long does tattoo numbing cream last?

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. 

How do you apply numbing cream to a tattoo?

The day before

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.

The day of 

1. Wash & exfoliate the area

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.

2. Apply thoroughly with a glove

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. 

3. Cover with plastic wrap

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.

4. Wait to sit

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. 

5. Enjoy your tattoo pain-free

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. 

Frequently Asked Questions

When should should I apply the cream?

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.

Do you wipe off numbing cream before the tattoo?

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. 

Should I tell my tattoo artist that I plan to use a numbing cream?

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.

Can you apply numbing cream during a tattoo?

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.

Customer photo review of Signature + Numbing Cream: Buy 3, Get 2  5 Tubes (3 + 2 FREE)

Absolute game changer. I’m currently on my fourth session for a massive back piece, and I will never get tattooed without this numbing cream again. The difference is night and day. It completely takes the edge off and is helping me finally get this piece finished!

Used to just get tattoos the old fashion way but once I discovered this numbing cream, I never not use it anymore! For small tattoos definitely can’t feel a thing. For larger tattoos it’s numb to start and then wears too after a couple hours or when there’s heavy layers but it definitely takes the edge off! I’m hooked on this product!

I was able to sit comfortably for about 4.5 hours. Pain didn’t get to me until hour 6. Picture taken half way through the session. Plan on being this again when I get the color done. My fiancée loves the numbing cream too.

I am so glad I found this cream, I have been getting so many tattoos now. I had 3 tattoos from 25 years ago but the pain kept me from getting more. This cream has been a game changer and I have gotten 8 tattoos in a few months.

Second time using this brand. I used 2 full tubes on this knee piece, kept me really comfortable for several hours. As a side note, I initially received half of my order, emailed Numbed Ink Co., super quick response, and received the rest of my order in a few days. Will continue to recommend!

I am completely covered in tattoos and knowing I was going to get my back of my knee cap done today, I decided to try this numbing cream for the first time ever. I normally can go 5 ish hours without cream and I had no problem going 7+ hours today with the cream. It was amazing! I will definitely be ordering more of this cream, it was worth every penny.

Customer photo review of Signature + Numbing Cream: Buy 3, Get 2  5 Tubes (3 + 2 FREE)

I had a 6 hour session working on various rough locations- shin, ankle bone, and foot on both legs. I used 4 tubes of the numbing plus cream and applied it thick and wrapped with cellophane 2 hrs prior to appt. I don’t think it’s realistic to expect zero sensation for this amount of time, but the level of numbing was certainly worth it and allowed me to sit still for the whole time. Definitely recommend!

Great product. I use the Signature (+) and it helps a lot. The picture I gave was right up to my armpit. When it starts wearing off I take a break put more cream on the area and wrap with cellophane for 15 min. Good to go again. It actually works pretty fast because the skin’s been penetrated by the tattoo needle.

Exfoliating the area you’re getting tattooed is key prior to application. Lasts about two and a half three hours even with the + version. Helped me sit still which made it easier for my artist to work and keep clean lines in hard to tattoo places.

At 1st I was very skeptical if numbing creams worked because there's always been mixed reviews, but this one here WORKS! I was terrified since I was getting a huge coverup but I felt NOTHING! Outlining and shading was a breeze..THANK YOU!

I've tried a few different products in the hunt for a cream or something that will work for a couple leg pieces I have planned out and I came across you're company and was a little worried about the price at first so I ordered a single tube and absolutely loved it. This is actually my second order through you're company and this is for the big piece.

My only regret is not buying from the very start of this piece. I purchased the cream for my third session and, wow, what a difference. I followed the instructions to a T and I felt nothing for the first 4/4.5 hours. Then there was a small amount of time the numbness wore off and I reapplied, waited about 20 mins and finished it up pain free. My recommendation is make sure you apply a thick layer. I purchased 5 tubes for this piece and have one tube left for the final highlight session. Definitely worth it!
