Numbskin 5% Lidocaine Maximum Strength Pain Relief Cream - 30g

10/10 recommend this product to anyone getting a tattoo. I used this for a tattoo that's on my spine. As my artist was getting started I couldn't feel a thing, I even had to ask him if he had started yet. There were some spots that I could feel it but it felt more like someone was gently dragging their nail on my back. The tattoo I got was a 5 hour session and after the 3/3 and a half hour mark I could tell a big difference in pain as it was starting to wear off. That's normal though as that was the time the package told me would start to wear off. This is worth the price!

I used this for a rather large colored back tattoo, it worked great and I was able to just relax. However be sure to be strategic with timing especially with large tattoos because this only lasted about 2 hours and we got started about an hour late so I only got the benefits for about one hour on a 4 hour session. Perhaps you will need to apply it in sections/increments on larger pieces. It does absolutely work though and I highly recommend this product and will be using it again on all my future tattoos.

If your getting this for a tattoo, it's 100% worth it, I put it on about an hour and half before my session and I didn't feel a thing(except on my wrist but it's hard to keep that covered for an hour)

When you put it on make sure you put it thick then wrap it in saran wrap 30 minutes later do it again wrap it again and saran wrap. Then do it one more time every 30 minutes then go to work it can last up to five hours

Love this product. Seldom get a tattoo without it. You must apply and wrap with saran or plastic wrap for at least 1hour, then do it again and leave wrapped and then apply o e more time before tattoo and you'll get a good 3-4 hours of relatively pain free tattooing.

IT WORKED!!! I got a huge tattoo piece done on my stomach and chest and did not feel ANYTHING for the first 2 & 1/2 hours. It was a 5 hour session so this DEFINITELY helped! These are the exact steps that I did and it worked GREAT for me;1. Shaved the area2. Put rubbing alcohol on a paper towel and wiped the entire area with the alcohol soaked paper towl.3. After area dried I applied ALOT of Dr.Numb.almost used the whole tube for my whole stomach and chest.4. Saran Wrapped my whole stomach and chest. Wrapped it around my whole torso around 3 times.5. Left it wrapped for about 2hours. After that I could not feel anything for 2 and 1/2 hours.I'm guessing if I would've taken off the wrap at the 1 hour mark. I would've had more numbness but my tattoo artist was still stenciling so I had to wait longer. All in all it WORKED for me. I'm definitely going to buy again for my NEXT SESSION

Felt numb during tattoo session for about 4 hours

Really good pain reliever but is expensive

I haven't try it yet so I will update later. But I bought it for my brother since his getting a tattoo in my honor. People and reviews are very good. The package was perfect an sealed. Good amount for money I think..
