Step-by-Step Instructions
Clean, dry skin ready for application
Clean & Exfoliate Your Skin
Proper preparation is crucial for maximum absorption. Dead skin and oils create a barrier.
Shower before applying for best results.
Apply a Thick Layer of Cream
The thickness directly impacts effectiveness. Don't be conservative—more cream means better numbing.
Pro Tip: Use ~1g per 10cm². The 30g XL tube covers ~300cm².
Apply 2–3mm thick layer with gloves
Seal with plastic wrap for 60-90 min
Cover with Plastic Wrap & Wait
The occlusion method traps body heat and dramatically increases absorption into deeper skin layers.
Pro Tip: Apply at home before your appointment. Arrive ready!
Remove & Get Your Tattoo
Your skin is fully numbed and ready! Numbness lasts 3+ hours from when the wrap is removed.
Pro Tip: For 3+ hr sessions, reapply mid-session (only 20-40 min needed on broken skin).
Enjoy your pain-free tattoo!
