This cream is AWESOME! It truly works and lasts. I got my chest done, it was the biggest piece I’ve done so far and I figured it’d be really sensitive so I didn’t want to even try it without numbing cream hahah! I followed the directions and had no issues. My tattoo took about 4 hours and it lasted the whole time, no reapplication was needed. I will say though, go bigger than your expected tattoo area just to be safe. My piece was a little bit bigger than where I had applied the cream so I did have to suffer on the edges BUT it was bearable because it was so close to the fully numbed section. I highly recommend!

I've never used numbing creams before getting tatted. But, I purchased this cream because I was planning on getting my first large tattoo piece (covers my entire lateral thigh). I was very nervous and didn't know if I could sit through 4 hours under the needle (total time ended up being closer to 5 hours). I read through the reviews and purchased this as it seemed to be a decent product for the price. I applied the numbing cream and stuck some plastic wrap to it. I didn't wrap my entire thigh, just loosely let the plastic wrap stick to the area with cream on it. I planned to leave it on up until stencil placement at the shop. The cream and plastic wrap stayed on for a total of 2.5 hours. And boy was it numb! BUT! My artist began to try to wipe away the cream and I noticed it was taking a while and he looked concerned. The cream would not wipe off. He used soap and water and even tried alcohol! Disclaimer: I do think I left it on entirely too long. In reviews, I had seen to apply it an hour before your appointment. But it took longer than expected to get started. With that being said, my artist began to give me his opinion of using numbing creams all together. He told me that these creams act as a vasoconstrictor (look it up) and it could have long term affects on how the ink settles into your skin and the overall healing of the tattoo. He told me that he knows people who have had to get tattoos re-done or covered up later down the road because of numbing creams. Like I said, this is a large piece and of course it was expensive. I didn't want to take the risk by using the cream and then something goes wrong later. So per his recommendation, I changed the location and got the other thigh done instead. I do believe the cream would have worked had I chose to tattoo the numb leg. My leg FINALLY regained feeling approximately 9 hours after initially applying it. So if numbing creams before tattoos are your thing and you've never personally had an issue with them, I'd definitely recommend this product. Read more

Rubbed nearly half the tube on my knee nearly two hours before, air tight glad wrap and tapped the edges. Not one slither of pain relief. Tkx cream or whatever it is is 10x better never buying this rubbish again Read more

I have tried another numbing cream which would only last MAYBE an hour. So I wanted to try another one. I had an appointment at 9:00 a.m. this morning so I put the cream on at 7:30 a.m. As the instructions say, I wiped down the area with a paper towel soaked in warm water to open my pores. Then I put the cream on and wrapped it pretty tight. Every 20 minutes or so I massaged the area to make sure it settled in. When I tell you I felt nothing… I FELT NOTHING. I got some pretty heavy shading done on two pretty decently sized tattoos and barely felt the vibration of the needle. I am typing this at 11:30 and my whole arm is still completely numb. When I have early appointments, I always get light headed/almost pass out when the session starts but not at all this time. Just follow the instructions and do a patch test and you’ll be good! Def recommend this for longer appointments or anyone who would rather go without the pain of getting a tattoo. 10/10!!! Read more
