  • Yes, it works. Apply correctly
Long review, leaving application tips , I'd wish I'd seen and stuff from HOURS of reading reviews /watching YY. I found the instructions to be lacking. TLDR It works! I felt the pressure of the needle but not the pain. If you've ever had a tooth removed using novacaine, I'd liken it to that. A few spots I did feel it, it felt greatly diminished in discomfort, more like being rubbed with medium grit sandpaper. I got a 3x 2 tattoo on my lower bicep above elbow, took 1 hr 10 minutes. The areas where the application was thinner began to wear off in the last 20ish mins. The sanitation, and tattoo ointment/ rubbing/wiping didn't affect the numbing where I'd applied it thickly, but it may have on the areas I didn't apply as thickly. The instructions could be more helpful to maximize potential potency. This is what I did and it worked really well. How I applied for tattoo( YMMV , everybody's nerves are mapped a little differently) - Clean, exfoliate, and gently shave the intended area 1-2 days before session. - Using gloves (cuz didn't want numb fingers) smooth a thick coating across the area. I'd suggest going a little outside of the intended area to make sure the nearby nerves also go night night. On the areas not in the direct path, I patted it on. Popcorn ceiling style. I used about 1/3 -2/3 of my tube. - I applied the cream about 1 hr 45 mins before my appt. It says 45 mins before for a tattoo on the instructions but I wanted to be for sure for sure. My last session was 13 yrs ago and I wanted to ease nerves and discomfort so I could sit well. - Cover area with a tegaderm bandage, get larger than you think you need. The more area you can cover with one bandage, the better. You can get them at CVS or Walmart, you want to increase contact with the skin but also limit oxygen to the area so your skin " breathes" in the cream. Also causes you to sweat and open the pores, getting it deeper. More on this in a moment. You may think, oh, I'll cling wrap myself, cheaper. TRUST, you won't get even enough coverage and unless you are going to medical tape over it, oxygen is still getting in. The more cream touches more of your skin the better. - After applying the bandage, I ran a medium temp blow dryer over the area until my arm felt like it was warming up. You may get a tingle sensation from the cream. Then I wrapped a warm towel around it until the towel cooled off. - Waited an hr. Took off bandage ( most of it will have absorbed into your skin) applied about a quarter sized amout to the area and didn't cover. Wore it to the shop and wiped it off before starting. When the artist started I had to look at my arm cuz I couldn't feel it. Post procedure pros - When I wiped it off my skin wasn't tacky, sticky, clammy, or anything unpleasant feeling. It was still soft -Great ingredients, I have quite sensitive skin ( can't do perfumes, have to get dye free everything or I'm moving to rashville, keratitis is a thing for me including near where I got inked) and it didn't irritate me AT all. - Skin in much better condition post tattoo. Used it for my 3rd tattoo, never used numbing cream before and my skin ( brown skin) was barely even red. It was a little angry in spots but no more than say, over exfoliating. - Post tattoo muscle soreness also disminished. - Color and saturation of ink/ application wasn't affected. I didn't tell my artist but it didn't seem like it hindered their progress. Nice smooth lines , and didn't seem to have to load needle endlessly. ... show more

  • clients love it
clients love this numbing cream! i am a PMU brow artist and i get comments all the time that 'they cant feel a thing' i ask throughout the service if they need a secondary numbing cream and they say they are feeling great do definitely recommend. i leave the cream on for about 15 min and cover with a wrap to ensure through numbing. such a great and affordable product. ... show more

  • Doesn’t work
Used this on a client for Ombre brows and I’m not sure if this was a bad batch or what but it did not penetrate to numb.

  • Used for tattoo
This works great. I saw some YouTube videos and decided if ladies are using this to tattoo their eyebrows it must work. I shaved my arm, exfoliated the area 1 hour before I went in I applied cream over the entire area being tattooed. I then wrapped my are in plastic wrap and removed just before I sat down. It left no residue or smell and I could not tell if my arm was numb. As soon as the needle touched my skin all I felt was the pressure of the needle but no pain. The session lasted about an hour and I never had an issue dealing with any kind of pain. ... show more

  • Didn't work.
Does not work for larger tattoos like the cheaper ones do. Specifically got this for this tattoo, I wrapped it in cellophane for 1 1/2hrs before tattoo appointment. Let's just say I had to take this one like a champ lol my first time trying g a numbing cream. I'll just save my money and take the pain Vs. Paying the money and keeping the pain. Lol!! 3 because it may have worked some it just hurt so bad lol and I heavily covered as well ... show more

  • Works amazingly ! Wow
"I can't believe that I applied it 2 hours before and wrapped it with clear sealing wrap... Before getting the tattoo, I washed the area with water and soap. It remained numb for 3 hours, and I didn't feel anything."
