I've bought this numbing cream multiple times already, and that alone should tell you how much I trust it! I’ve used it for both a foot and shin tattoo, and now I'm relying on it for my leg sleeve. Let me just say — this stuff really does the job!
Before discovering this cream, I would always brace myself for the intense pain of getting tattooed on sensitive spots like the shin and foot. If you've ever been tattooed there, you know what I mean — that sharp, burning pain that makes you seriously reconsider your decisions! But with this cream, my sessions have been so much more manageable.
Here’s how I apply it to get the best results:
1. I start by thoroughly cleaning my skin with antibacterial soap.
2. Next, I use an exfoliating glove to get rid of any dead skin and to open up my pores. (This step is a game-changer!)
3. I make sure to dry the area completely before applying the cream.
4. Then, I slather on a generous amount — enough to fully cover the area.
5. I wrap it up tightly in plastic wrap and leave it on for a couple of hours before my session.
And here’s a little extra tip that I find super helpful: after wrapping the area, I like to place a heating pad over it for a while. I feel like the heat helps the cream absorb even deeper into the skin, making the numbing effect even stronger. It’s not a must-do, but if you’re looking to maximize the effect, it’s definitely worth a try!
Every time I use this cream, my tattoo sessions go so much more smoothly, and I can actually sit through them without squirming in pain. I’m definitely planning to keep using it for the rest of my leg sleeve — and probably for any future tattoos too!
If you’re on the fence about using a numbing cream or wondering if it’s worth it, trust me, give this one a shot. You won’t regret it! Highly recommend!
