Going big? So should your numbing cream. Our XL 30g tube delivers the same powerful, fast-acting formula you love, just three times more of it. Perfect for large tattoos, multiple sessions, or keeping your stash fully stocked.
- Up to 4 hours of numbness deep, long-lasting relief for marathon sessions
- Covers large areas sleeves, back pieces, thighs, no problem
- Best value size 30g lasts through multiple tattoo appointments
- 90-day money-back guarantee plus free UK shipping over £50
- Step 1: Clean the area thoroughly with soap and water, then pat completely dry.
- Step 2: Apply a generous layer of numbing cream (2-3mm thick) 60-90 minutes before your session. Don't rub it in — let it sit on the surface.
- Step 3: Cover the area with plastic wrap and tape the edges to create an airtight seal. Body heat activates the formula.
- Step 4: Remove the wrap when you arrive at the studio. Wipe off excess cream and enjoy your pain-free tattoo experience!
- Coverage: One 30g XL tube covers approximately 300cm² — perfect for sleeves, back pieces, and thigh tattoos.
- Avoid alcohol: Don't drink alcohol 24 hours before your session — it thins the blood and reduces the cream's effectiveness.
- Patch test first: Apply a small amount to your inner arm 24 hours before your appointment. Minor redness is normal; swelling or blistering is rare but means you should not use the product.
- Duration: Expect up to 3 hours of deep numbness once the cream is removed. Results vary based on skin type and body location.
- Long sessions: For tattoos over 3 hours, your artist can apply our Rescue Numb Spray mid-session (only 20-40 mins needed on broken skin).
- Multiple sessions: The 30g tube is designed to last through multiple appointments — store in a cool, dry place between uses.
- 5% Lidocaine: Maximum strength topical anaesthetic for deep, long-lasting numbing.
- Vitamin E: Nourishes and protects the skin during application.
- Aloe Vera: Soothes and hydrates for a comfortable experience.

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."
