How To Use Tattoo Numbing Cream

Tattoo numbing creams are extremely powerful, so it must be applied correctly to get maximum benefit. Follow these simple instructions:

Preparation

Before you apply Tattoo Numbing Cream to your skin:

Use hot water and soap to wash the area of ​​skin you want to numb.
Make sure dirt and grime are thoroughly removed.
After you have completely cleaned the skin, cover it with a clean towel.
Hold the towel firmly in place for five minutes. This will raise the temperature of your skin and open the pores so that the numbing cream can penetrate your skin more quickly and efficiently.
Instructions

Put on a pair of latex gloves so that your hands don't go numb from applying the product.
Apply a layer of cream to the area of ​​skin you need to desensitise.
Gently rub the cream into the skin with your gloved hands until the cream begins to absorb into the surface.
Apply a thicker second layer of the cream to the skin. Make sure this layer is about 2/3mm thick.
Once the area of ​​skin is completely covered with two layers of cream, cover it with some plastic wrap. This will raise the temperature of the cream and help it activate faster.
Leave the cream and plastic wrap on your skin for about 50 to 70 minutes. You should notice that your skin starts to become desensitized during this time. Once the full time period has elapsed, your skin should be numb and impervious to pain.
Remove the plastic wrap and then wipe the cream off with a clean cloth.
At your tattoo or beauty appointment

Once the cream is removed from your skin, you are ready to begin your procedure. After the cream is activated, your skin will remain numb for about 3-5 hours. That should be enough time to do your entire procedure without experiencing any unwanted discomfort or pain!
