The Numb'd Protocol

STRONG ENOUGH TO NEED
A PROTOCOL

Four steps, 90 minutes, then hours of nothing. Follow it exactly.

01 2 min

Shave & Clean

Shave wider than the piece and wipe down with alcohol. Oil-free skin lets the actives in.

PRO TIP · 5×5cm tattoo? Prep 7×7cm.
02 3 min

Thin, Then Thick

Massage a thin layer in with gloves. Then dab on a thick, even layer over the top.

PRO TIP · Don't rub the thick layer in. More cream, longer numb.
03 90 min

Wrap & Wait

Seal it under cling film and leave it 90 minutes. The wrap locks in moisture and drives the actives deep.

PRO TIP · Apply at home before you leave. Arrive already numb.
04 3-5 hrs numb

Wipe & Sit

Wipe every trace off, stencil on, needle in. You feel pressure, not pain, for 3-5 hours.

PRO TIP · Long session? Rescue Spray tops up once skin is broken.

Professional Grade

WHY NUMB'D?

"Do these creams actually work?"

This one has a protocol, and it holds.

8 actives driven deep under a 90-minute wrap. You go in numb and stay numb for 3-5 hours, not 40 minutes.

8 Actives 3-5 hrs numb

"Is it just another TKTX clone?"

Maximum legal strength, made properly.

The highest lidocaine concentration legally available in the UK, GMP-certified manufacture. No mystery imports.

Max legal strength GMP certified

"Will it mess with my ink or healing?"

Wipes off clean. Ink goes in perfect.

Removed completely before the needle starts. No effect on ink absorption, stencils or healing, which is why artists allow it.

Ink-safe Derm tested

"Won't my artist be annoyed?"

Your artist probably stocks it.

Trusted in 500+ UK studios and kept on the floor at INK'D London. Still clients sit better, so artists work better.

Got Questions?

Everything you need to know before your next session.

One application keeps you numb for 3 to 5 hours, depending on how much cream you apply. A thicker layer means a longer numb. For marathon sittings, Rescue Numb Spray tops you up mid-session once the skin is broken.

Follow the protocol: shave and clean the area, massage in a thin layer, dab a thick layer on top without rubbing it in, then seal it under cling film for 90 minutes. Apply at home before you leave and you arrive at the studio already numb. Full instructions come with every order.

No. NUMB'D is formulated to be wiped off completely before tattooing begins. It won't interfere with ink absorption, your stencil, or your tattoo's healing process.
