Numbing Agents: Do They Work?

September 29, 2020

Don’t Let The Hard Headed people Trick You…ALL Tattoos HURT!!! There Are Some Places On The Body That Hurt More Than Other Places… (Ribs, Inner Thigh, Armpit) These Places Can Be Brutal But Thanks To Numbing Agents They Are More Approachable Now. Topical Lotions/Creams Are Here!!!

Lidocaine 4% Is Now More Available Than It Used To Be. Lidocaine Works To Help Relieve The Pain Of Getting A Tattoo, But It Doesn’t Take All The Pain Away. Lidocaine By Itself Will Numb The Skin But Under The Skin Is Still “Live” And Can Still Be Quite Painful. This Can Be Purchased Online On Many Websites And It Is Relatively Affordable And It Does Help..

The Best Out There Is Lidocaine 2.5%/Prilocaine 2.5%. This Is Only Offered By Prescription Only But Most Doctors Will Be Understandable To Your Plight And Write The Prescription. This Numbs Not Only The Skin But Under The Skin As Well. It Will Last Up To 4 Hours And Really Help You With Your Tattoo Pain.

Whichever You Are Able To Obtain Can Help But The Lidocaine/Prilocaine Is Definitely The Best Way To Go.

   Follow These Directions To Get The Best Results With Your Numbing Agent.

Wash And Shave The Area To Be Tattooed. Let Dry And Line Up Where The Stencil Is Going And Apply The Cream. Wrap The Area In Plastic Wrap And Let Sit In For At Least 20 Minutes, Preferably Longer If The Time Is Available. After Letting The Cream Sit For A While Pull Off Plastic Wrap And Wash The Area. Apply The Stencil And Now You’re ready For Your Pain ”Less” Tattoo. I Hope This Finds Some Value And You Take Advantage Of Todays Technology!!!
