How to Use
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.
Where can I buy tattoo numbing cream?
You can buy tattoo numbing cream at Numbed Ink; some studios may also supply their own if you ask.

Didn’t feel a thing it really works !!
Super afraid of needles I didn't feel a thing!
Didn't feel a thing
I’ve used this numbing cream several times and had no problems but this time for some reason when the shading started, the pain was there I am still not gonna give up on this numbing cream. I will try one more time and see how it goes.❤️
Been using numbed ink products for a while now. Lower chest rib filler webs and skulls. 3 hour session and never felt a thing. Best cream you can find 100%.
Sat through this highly detailed 4 hour tat worked all first 3 hours I didn’t feel a thing :)
I was so excited to get a big tattoo, but the older I get that stab stab of the needle is not the same as when I was younger, thus started the hunt for a numbing cream. I researched many different brands and even tried a cheaper one. It did not work, I found Numbed. I read the reviews and they had a good deal. I thought why not, and let me tell you I am so glad I did. I put it on about an hour & half before my appointment. It worked amazing. It felt amazing to sit for two hours and not have to worry about moving, jerking my leg & grinding my teeth. Like I said that stab stab of the needle, is not the same any more but I didn’t have to worry. I can’t wait for my next appointment to finish up my leg and use Numbed again!
Got My last name tattooed on the side of my thigh and it worked amazing!!
I’ve tried a few of the numbing creams out there and I gotta say yours is the best I’ve tried
I can’t take NO PAIN so for me to sit through this tattoo was a breeze I was numbed for about 6 hours
This cream is amazing!! I love it!! I’m definitely getting more tattoos now!!
EXTREMELY numb. I really couldnt feel a thing for the first hour or so. After him wiping a lot I started to feel a little pinch but up near my elbow just a little bit. Way more tolerable than I had thought it would be. If he had started there I wouldnt have felt a thing. 10/10 will be ordering again soon for when he fills the design in.
The first half of my tattoo I couldn’t take it then I came unpon the best numbing cream my second half Which is this picture I felt nothing literally!
Your numbing creams really works, I also spread the word to all of my friends and they purchased some also!
Easy to use and works amazing. I apply it now for all my tattoo sessions. Complete game changer. No more painful sessions.
I have purchased multiple times. Great product!!!
Number ink ALL DAY! Sat 8 hours for this piece on the back of my leg.
Hands down best numbing cream. Sat through this whole piece and never flinched!!!
Works great lasted atleast 4-5 hours, highly recommend worth every cent.
I’ve purchased numerous tubes of numbing cream and each time it works like a charm. Be sure to follow the instructions in order to not feel any pain. Those who say they felt pain most likely didn’t follow the directions.
It made the experience much more relaxing and less painful. Recommend it all day long. Makes the experience of getting a tattoo so much more pleasant.
This big peice was all numb! I nearly fell asleep
Did NOT work at all!!!!
I got a full leg tattoo and when I say I didn’t feel a thing for hours!! I was very pleased and relaxed getting my tattoo!!
Husband complete his tattoo use the numbing cream..
The directions say to wrap the area of your skin with cling wrap after applied. Well I found out last minute that I didn’t have cling wrap. I slathered my throat anyway and hoped for the best. I had one singular hour drive to my appointment and I washed it off as soon as I got there so it wasn’t even on that long, then didn’t get needle in skin until at least another half hour later. so I really didn’t have high hopes for numbness, my fault completely though. However, could have slept through the tattoo. One of the easiest tats I’ve gotten. Wouldn’t say completely numb, probably would’ve been if I did it correctly, but still took a lot of the pain away.
Great experience with numbed ink
I keep coming back for more! This stuff WORKS! I've used it on my entire leg sleeve, including the knee, and its gotten me through some pretty tough spots. Doesn't affect healing from what I can tell either
I’ve been working on my full back cover up I’d say since October. Covering up an old faded piece I started 6 years ago during a rough season but never completed I’m glad I didn’t because it was a dark piece of art and In the stage I am now in my life I am at peace and want my artwork to reflect that. Anyways I’ve been using this numbing cream since I started this project and it’s been very helpful in pain management. It doesn’t last long on my personally but in the time it is active my artist gets quite a bit done in a short amount of time. We’ve had 4 sessions since October each session running about 3 hrs tops. The numbing cream starts to wear off at about 2 hrs so for that remaining hour I’m feeling it. I could apply more but I just tell my artist no just keep going I’ll be alright knowing dang well it’s raw and I’m feeling the pain 🫠☠️🤣 🤷🏽♀️ anyways great product recommend gets the job done good ingredients without the epinephrine jitters.
Best cream ever. Didn’t feel any pain. Love it
Great product and worked very well
First time getting my tattoo and I felt nothing!!! Shading did hurt a bit towards the end of my tattoo but felt like a scratch so like I said not too bad at all. It lasted at least 5 hours and my tattoo only took about an hour. I would definitely recommend this numbing cream!
Literally load up in the cream for the thigh whewwwwwwwww spicy!!! But lower leg was great!!!
Great cream
I bought this based upon my artist recommendation. It does NOT disappoint! I only use numbing cream on bony prominences. It helps me sit longer and helps my skin stay calmer. I look forward to trying to extended formula for my back. Thanks! Amy
Favorite numbing cream EVER!! Works best if wrapped in cling wrap, lasted me 4-5 hours even putting it on two hours before my appt. Love it
Literally 10/10 THE BEST!!!!! Will never use anything else!!!
Wouldn’t be able to finish this spicy lady without this stuff!
Painless. Would recommend.
