![]() And applying a cream made in unsanitary Chinese factories, to an open wound, is never a good idea.Īs someone who’s heavily tattooed and has worked in a senior compliance role for a Government medicines regulator, I personally wouldn’t use a Chinese made, white labeled product. The Chinese mindset is such that if 5% Lidocaine is considered good, then adding more Lidocaine and a bunch of other pharmaceuticals must be better But it actual fact, it’s not better. Typically, I find that it’s the white labeled products from China that are the most problematic. Pure numb also has a spray that can be used on broken skin to help take some of the sting out. If you don’t do the plastic wrap the numbing cream doesn’t work. Make sure you exfoliate the area and put a good layer of the cream on - then wrap in plastic wrap well. And if you ‘rash out’ and are unable to sit for your session, you will still need to pay the tattooist. They have a pre-procedure cream you put on about 1.5 hours before your tattoo. It’s a by-product of creams that have been stuffed with a whole bunch of different topical anesthetics and epinephrine.Īdding more ingredients does not make a product more effective.

Tattooists typically tend to dislike numbing creams that contain vasoconstrictors like epinephrine. I even nodded off while my tattooist was doing the inside of my bicep. I sat like a rock during my long tattoo sessions while using their tattoo numbing cream. Used on the most painful spots to tattoo, including my elbow and armpit, the tattoo numbing cream removed the pain and reduced the swelling that is normally seen when tattooing those regions. I could feel vibration and pressure, but not the sharp pain typically associated with tattoos. The tattoo numbing cream worked perfectly and it made the most painful spots completely pain free. I personally recommend that everyone try their tattoo numbing cream. The cream I used for the bulk of my tattoo sleeve and for all of my tattoos since, is by Mad Rabbit. Because I don’t want to get sued by the other 3 that didn’t work. But I’m only going to discuss one of these tattoo numbing creams here. ![]() And we ended up trying 4 creams in total. Luckily, he suggested trying a tattoo numbing cream. The thought of letting my artist, who loves tattooing elbows and armpits, near me with that large coil gun was a nope. I almost booked my ticket home right then and there to avoid it. He then wheeled out a tattoo gun that looked and sounded like a miniature chainsaw. When he told me that his usual tattoo gun wasn’t powerful enough and wasn’t big enough for my black sleeve, I started to panic. My tattooist loves tattooing armpits and elbows.
