Ebanel Laboratories, Inc. 5% Lidocaine Maximum Strength Numbing Spray with 0.25% Phenylephrine, Topical Anesthetic Pain Relief with Arginine

This stuff is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't want a cream for before the session, because I know it can cause irregularities with the skin. I also did NOT want something that numbed me 100%, because it honestly feels worse than the tattoo pain in a weird way. This product is great if you use it correctly, and numbs about 80-90%. Go for as long as you can and then, once the skin has been broken, spray it on and let it sit for a few minutes. It won't numb unbroken skin, but it's immediate relief for the bits of tattoo that have already been lined/shaded/etc. Because of that it's best used halfway through/to the end of your session! It'll help you sit much longer. For me it didn't sting, cause swelling, change my skin texture, or cause any redness. Got the A-OK from the artist as well!

Excellent source of Lidocaine 5% in spray form! Really helps in moistening/numbing with bandage removal and wound maintenance with my two leg wounds! I also have been using the same brand of 5% Lidocaine in the cream form on my leg wounds.

Spray is Easy to apply, but seems less effective than lidocaine ointments that you rub in.

Works well for up to four hours. I have spinal damage and constant pain in my back and neck. I need to live my life in spite of this. So when my pain increases I do one two things. I get patches from the doctor with 5% lidocaine that last 12 hours. The patches are very expensive and sometimes don’t stay on. I use the spray for the flare up that last for shorter periods. I Would much rather use the spray then increase my pain medicine dosage.

The spray is difficult to use. The top does not unscrew so you can only use it by spraying. Getting the spray to the place it is intended is not easy. The product itself does work well once it is applied. But I would not buy this application again.
