Let's Talk About Tattoo Numbing Cream...

Again... its not true.. i used the cream calls TKTX and last 3 to 4 hours, and after 4 hours if you feel pain, i recomend OTOGEN, they used for ear pain and works in 5 seconds.. I recommend to used in some spot that you feel more pain.

Does numbing cream show up on a drug test

I sat through a 10 hour session and took like three 5 minute breaks. No numbing cream. I agree, a long session and it wearing off would shock the body.

Lol. I've been to 8 hour sessions with no cream. I just came back from a 6+ hours session and I can tell you. Use it!

I have two tattoos never used numbing cream. But really thinking about for my next one I have to get my armpit area and elbow done. Which I am super nervous about my pain tolerance isn’t that high at least when it comes to tattoos. Just need to find a good brand.

My first tatt was without. My second one was with. Honestly, I noticed ZERO difference!

I've never used it but about to get tattooed for 2 days straight to get my entire front done. Seriously considering it

Thanks for the advice 🙏🏾

Numb27 is the only one that actually works and doesn’t effect the skin negatively

Abso-fuckin-lutely imma use the cream 🤨. All the old heads talkin bout you gotta earn it just like pain & that’s fine some ppl actually enjoy pain somehow. I on the other hand, like most ppl, def do not. My ancestors went through enough for generations to come lmao. But fr I agree you should at least def do your first full out or maybe tough out any small ones just for the experience of knowing yeah this is what it feels like fr & yes I could sit through it. & to see if maybe you’re lucky enough to have a high pain tolerance & don’t even really need cream idk. But big ass sleeves & pieces with hella shading or color fuuuuck that numb it up please. Plus I’ve already felt the pain before?!?! Hell nah it’s useless beating a dead horse like that in my opinion. If you’ve felt it once you’ve felt it all. Yes there’s areas that’re more sensitive than others that may raise the pain LEVEL, but it’s still the same pain FEELING yk? So yeah I say numb it if you want beautiful art on you & don’t wanna be in pain. If you like the pain or think you should suffer to “earn” the tattoo you paid probably hundreds for then hey whatever floats your boat 🤷🏾‍♀️. A couple things I’m worried about (I haven’t gotten a tat that needs the cream yet but will soon & WILL be numbed tf up hopefully like at the dentist) that I hear mentioned a lot is,
depending on how long your piece takes, the cream could wear off during it & then you’re just hit with the shock of all the skin trauma you’ve been going through at once, plus it’s still going cuz it’s not done yet. I’m hoping that doesn’t happen for me or that if it does I can just handle it & it’s not like super worse just cuz it was numb. Cuz I mean ppl tap out cuz of it being so painful from the start so it would make sense to me to be able to handle more pain for less time than gradual pain the whole time 🤷🏾‍♀️. The other thing is ppl say the cream affects the quality of the tattoo like lasting over time. Idk what would affect it when they have to put like that Vaseline balm just to tattoo anyway, but since so many artists don’t say anything about that, I’m sure it boils down to the artists application & technique & how your skin just takes the ink in general. 🤷🏾‍♀️ but like everything in tattooing, it just depends on so many different factors at the end of the day & ppl are gonna do what they wanna do with their bodies as we already know. Well thanks for coming to my TedTalk if anyone read to the end of this novel about my opinion on numbing cream. 😂😂😂 So excited to get more tats! 💖🌸🫶🏾

the needles are the most addicting part of getting a tattoo, if you miss that part you aren't really getting a tattoo

it makes ink difficult to push in.

Well when I get a tattoo I don’t feel it that bad during it. After I leave and go home I can kind of start to feel it now that my adrenaline isn’t pumping . Idk if I’d use numbing cream cause idk what it’ll do to my skin

Everyone saying the pain part of the tattoo ok well the next time you go to the dentist make sure they don’t number that mouth of yours that’s getting veneers and shyt in it

My cousin have me a Narco while getting my whole neck done. My tatto artist at the time told me when he got to the theoat it would hurt the worse & well let’s just say I finish the tattoo while asking at the end have you made it to the throat yet 😅😂

I have an artist that’s cool with it, he rubs it in while he tattoos. I have others that don’t use it and won’t let you use it. 🤷‍♀️ still hurts either way. About to get my knee blasted next month and I intend on doing everything possible to last this session 🫣😅

It’s not… completely…. Numb 🤦‍♀️

I used numbing cream for all four of my piercings. It made things better for me.

2 years ago i fell off my electric skate board going 30mph and fell on my right side and covered it in road rash, gashed my right eyebrow open, ripped off a thumb nail, and ripped my plam off on my left hand trying to catch myself. present day I got my first tattoo, 4 of them infact and when I tell you getting a tat right above the knee was the worst pain Ive ever felt in my life I mean it. The crash and any other pain I've had could never match it. The other 3 where a cool 3-4 out of 10, the knee was at least a 20.

very helpful

I just used numbing cream cause I can’t be fucked but it doesn’t work half the runs anyways

Preciate this. I was thinking about getting my first tattoo and didn’t know much about numbing cream. It ain’t worth it if the pain 10x worse after the tat hell no

found this video because im thinking of getting another tattoo. and worried that i will pass or almost pass out like my first one. i feel the guy that did it wasnt an expert and was digging in my damn wrist so hard that i had tunnel vison and feel really dizzy mid tattoo. hopefully this stuff work so i can get another one.

this is my plan. im having a japanese sleeve into my chest done. ive had two sessions so far. havent used any numbing cream but we are about to do my inner arm (near armpit) and chest which i know are going to kill... so i plan to bring bactine and numbing cream so after like 2-4hours(i have shit pain tollerance) ill then apply the numbing cream to make me get in longer hours. i cant take more then 4-5hours man... im done after that lmao.

I’ve got my full neck tattooed and it’s getting covered at the moment. I just had one side redone with no numbing cream, but for the throat I may use it as I’ve been through the pain already on the throat and really can’t be bothered with it again 😂

I’m getting my neck done, I’ve heard it’s the worst place to get it, with the neck bone especially I’m not looking forward too it so for the first time I’m thinking of using the cream, I’ve had a full sleeve and my entire chest without it but the neck is worrying me lol.. complete agony I’m thinking

I do use it !! i have more than 40 tattoos and all look perfect

1 time use numbing today we will see if it work

I have 6-7 tats including one on my elbow. I been wanting a rib tat but it’s so sensitive I cant even touch my side with my own hand without spazzing out. Considering numbing it but I don’t wanna tarnish the rep

I use Tattoo Numbing Cream Co brand. Can I re apply it mid tattoo once it wears off on broken skin?

are Forearms painful to get tattoo ?

I was told by my artist it effects the colours over time..don't know why or how..esp greys and blacks..he always doesnt recommended it

I have a tattoo booked next week and I don’t know how I’ll be able to handle the pain nowadays so I’m putting on a numbing cream. I don’t care what people say lol

What about just having an anesthesiologist on staff? No conversation, no pain breaks, just do the work start to finish, then....."Ok, doc.....bring em back". Think of the possibilities. Theoretically, you could put someone on the table, put em under, and have a couple artists working are various sections at once🙂

Are you a tattoo artist? Or are you just a collector?

Tattoos are for losers.

This is crazy! I have my entire body tattooed and I used that Numb27 tattoo numbing cream and it’s AWESOME

NEVER, EARN YOUR SHIT

Question: my first tattoo is 18days now without peeling but alot of itching.
Is it fully healed and can i go back to my normal girly body lotion?

I haven't used numbing cream and so far I didn't feel the need. I have a high pain tolerance, I guess and every session I had so far was an 8 hours session. I also don't like breaks, I just take them if my artist needs them. After two days in a row the white parts did hurt, but apart from that I enjoyed it more than I really thought it'd be painful at all.

This makes no sense…misinformation overload….

I havnt used numbing cream yet but im thinking of using it when i tattoo mu other elbow. The first one hurt like a bitch

No I dont

Used it once, on the advice from my artist, when I was getting my chest done. Worked great for about an hour then it wore off. Haven't used for any other tattoos(sleeve and both calves). Might use again when I get my knees done on my leg sleeve.

As a person who’s only got one tattoo so far, I think for my next tattoo, I’m gonna request the numbing cream next time to see what it’s like

I always wanted a tattoo and the idea of having pain it scared me off. I didn't know about numbing creams until I talked to someone with many tattoos and recommended it tktx numbing cream. I used it and now I have 6 so far. I used it all the time. It has been a learning experience to correctly apply the cream. My last 2 tattoos were pain free. I want more tattoos and I would not do it without the cream. In my case it's great and it it works because my tattoo sessions are 2 hours because mine are small ones (6 inches the bigger ones)

Maybe I am a chicken but finally I have tattoos as always wanted.

😊

Hey Mike. Another great video. Like you, I have spent a fair few hours under the tattoo needle and not really needed any numbing creams or sprays. You know what they say right...where there's no sense there's no feeling. I have been going to the same artist for the last 7 years and we have never even mentioned using them, mainly because all of my previous work is in black and grey. That all changed for my last tattoo, which is also my first colour one, the one I sent you of my son's portrait on my inner forearm sitting in a deck chair. Because it has such a lot of detail in it he has found, through experience, that using Bactine spray reduces the area being worked on from swelling up so he can get all that detail in and know it won't look out of proportion when the swelling goes down. You have seen the work he has previously done for me so you know he is worth listening to. Cut a long story short he used the spray throughout the day and the tattoo turned out awesome. The only downside to it is that when he tattooed the small area he had numbed it was great, did not feel a thing other than the pressure of the needle. As soon as he moved away from that area it was like being given an electric shock, the pain was suddenly there all at once and to me felt more severe than normal. It quickly subsided back to normal, like starting up again after a break, but then we would go back to a detailed piece and be numbed again. Given the option, having tried both methods, I would opt for no numbing creams or sprays as I am quite comfortable without. That said, I wanted the best quality tattoo I could get so took the advice of a professional that I trust implicitly, will probably have to do it all again when I have my daughters portrait done on my outer forearm.

I have only one tattoo. I didn't even ask about it. I'm glad I didn't. I wanted to be able to know what it genuinely felt like. The artist told me that I sat very well (about 2.5 hours) and would probably do well even with some difficult body parts if I wanted another in the future. Also, I would be one of those folks you mentioned who would have an eye on the clock dreading the moment the pain kicked in. That stress would be worse than getting used to the pain for the whole time in the chair.

Never used, I see pain as a part of a tattoo.
Also I have super sensitive skin, so I need to avoid everything that may interfere with the tattoo session.

After the first 10 minutes it’s gets numb anyway at-lease that’s what I tell my brain
