The Problem
Most Numbing Creams Don't Actually Work.
You've probably tried them. The ones that promise the world and deliver nothing. Weak formulas that wear off before your artist even picks up the machine. Products packed with harsh chemicals that leave your skin irritated, red, and rashy.
Or maybe you've been putting off that piece you've always wanted because the last session was brutal. Either way, you deserve better than products that don't deliver.
"Every product we tried either didn't work or left clients with irritated skin. So we made our own."
Founder, NUMB'D
STRONG ENOUGH TO NEED
A PROTOCOL
Four steps, 90 minutes, then hours of nothing. Follow it exactly.
Shave & Clean
Shave wider than the piece and wipe down with alcohol. Oil-free skin lets the actives in.
Thin, Then Thick
Massage a thin layer in with gloves. Then dab on a thick, even layer over the top.
Wrap & Wait
Seal it under cling film and leave it 90 minutes. The wrap locks in moisture and drives the actives deep.
Wipe & Sit
Wipe every trace off, stencil on, needle in. You feel pressure, not pain, for 3-5 hours.
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.
"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.
"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.
"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.

"Tried loads of numbing creams before, this is the only one that actually delivers. Lasts the whole session."

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.
