Dr. Numb 5% Lidocaine Numbing Cream, Fast-Acting Maximum Strength Topical Anesthetic Pain Relief Burn Itch Numb Cream with Vitamin E for Hemorrhoid Treatment, Local and Anorectal Uses - 30g 2 Pack

Works great for tattoos

I bought a different product from Amazon and it did nothing for me. In the reviews of that product someone recommended dr. Numb. It was about double the price of the other product but I figured I’ll give it a shot. If it helps take the edge off of a full sleeve tattoo it’s money well spent. I couldn’t believe how well it worked. Unfortunately for me the artist went way higher than I anticipated so I wasn’t totally pain free but that was my own fault. The areas I applied this product I literally didn’t feel a thing. I was blown away. Like most suggest, I applied about 2 hours before my appointment and wrapped it in Saran Wrap. After roughly an hour I re applied and re wrapped. Took it off in the car before going into my appointment. I definitely recommend this product if you’re trying to get some ink but don’t want the pain and discomfort that comes with it. Only downside for bigger pieces, it only lasted for me about 2 hours. But hey that’s 2 hours without pain so I’ll take it!

I used this before I get a tattoo - I put on a couple hours before and use clear wrap to keep it covered. I was about to sit for 1.5 of line and shading ON MY KNEE, never would have survived without it

This is the first time I’ve ever used a numbing cream for a tattoo. When I decided to do my knee, my tattoo artist mentioned Dr. Numb. I decided to give it a try since I’ve heard the Knees can be extremely painful. 100% the best choice! I put it on in a thick layer (where you could still see the white) and wrapped it in clear kitchen wrap for one hour. I wiped it all off with a wash cloth and warm water before I left home. This was from 11 am - 12 pm. My tattoo started at approximately 12:45 - 1 pm and lasted until approximately 3 pm. I only started to feel it near the end and only in small spots, so the pain was totally bearable. The next time, I’ll probably keep the cream on until I get to the tattoo shop to see if that helps it last even longer. If I had not used Dr. Numb, I know for sure I would have MAYBE gotten through the outline in one sitting, but definitely not the entire piece. I will definitely continue to use Dr. Numb for tattoos in very sensitive spots! Totally worth it!

OUTSTANDING!!!! I’ve had a lot of tattoos done and figured why not see what the hype is about with numbing products. Didn’t think anything of it until I took the wrap off, couldn’t feel my arm. Needles touching your skin is very uncomfortable with this product you literally CAN NOT feel a thing. DR. Numb would get five stars if it last a bit longer but the artists wiping and applying ointment the product begins to wear after around 2-3 hours. I’ll be using this for the rest of my sleeve for sure.

I got my calves worked on and I did the outline with no cream. Got shading and coloring done with the cream and my oh my what a difference it made. Use a healthy amount, I used one tube between both legs and it worked. I didn’t feel anything and was a very comfortable experience. About three hours and it started to wear off but took the edge off. Will definitely use it again.

Works great! Had my shin tattooed and didn't feel anything for the first two hours.

Eased the pain for my new tattoo.
