For the tattooists, make sure to also clean the designated area with a water-soap solution, to remove any excess dead skin or oil from the skin. You can use some alcohol cleaning wipes as well. After everything is sparkling and clean, it is time to apply the numbing cream. The tattooist should apply a think coat of the cream and let it sit up to half an hour, or whoever long is recommended on the cream use instructions.
Often, the thicker the skin to be tattooed, the longer it will take for the cream to start taking effect. So, make sure to not rush things during this step; this goes for both, the client and the tattooist. At this point, the cream has taken effect, and the to-be-tattooed area is numb. To start tattooing, the tattooist needs to remove any excess cream and wash the area again, or clean with some alcohol wipes.
If any cream remains on the skin, the tattooist increases the risk of it ending up in the broken skin, and in your bloodstream. One of the best numbing creams on the market is the Zensa topical anesthetic cream. This product is fast-acting and provides pain relief in cases of tattoos, tattoo removals , piercings, injections, waxing, and other similar occasions.
Zensa numbing cream is even recommended by professional tattoo artists around the globe. It just helps the clients have a pain-free experience. This fast-absorbing, long-lasting numbing cream is life-saving for thousands of people around the world who are about to get their first tattoo or a piercing. No other cream numbs the skin like this one. The cream is vitamin-enriched and contains active ingredients which prevent inflammation and do not interrupt the tattooing process.
Because Uber Numb is not FDA approved and evaluated, we recommend testing the cream for allergic reactions, by applying just a small amount onto the skin. If your skin starts turning red or swollen, wash the area and do not use the cream. Unlike other numbing creams, the TKTX cream contains a plethora of incredible ingredients.
Each active ingredient works to prevent inflammation, swelling, and pain during a tattooing or piercing process. The cream can also be used for pain relief in case of permanent cosmetics, micro-needling, laser tattoo removal, or hair removal. Even though this cream works like a charm, we still need to emphasize that it is NOT safe for people with heart disease, high blood pressure, women who are expecting or breastfeeding, and people allergic to any of the aforementioned ingredients.
Sometimes, the stronger the numbing sensation, the more pain one feels after the numbing effects cease. This can create a serious pain issue because the pain sensation is amplified and felt all at once.
Either way, you apply it to the skin and rub it thoroughly about a half hour or so from the time you are to start the tattoo. Once rubbed in and cleaned you need to wrap the area with saran wrap for the half hour leading up to your tattoo.
Also, keep in mind that Lidocaine will be working at its best for about a couple hours so keep that in mind when planning your tattoo sessions. Just simple lidocaine numbing cream will work perfectly for your tattoos! Through my journey as a Tattoo Artist I have made unforgettable memories.
