- Rescue Spray is for use during your session, once the skin is broken.
- Step 1: When numbing starts to fade, ask your artist to pause for a moment.
- Step 2: Hold the bottle a few cm from the skin and spray an even coat directly over the area being worked on.
- Step 3: Wait 2-3 minutes for it to activate. Your artist can gently wipe any excess before continuing.
- Step 4: Carry on with the session. Re-apply as needed through a long sit, there is no wrap and no long wait.
- Note: Rescue Spray is designed to top up numbing on broken skin. For pre-session numbing, use a NUMB'D cream 90 minutes before under cling film.
- Keep it in reach: Have the spray on the tray from the start of a long sit so you can top up the moment numbing fades, without breaking your flow.
- Don't wait for full pain: Top up as soon as you feel sensation creeping back, not once it's unbearable. Staying ahead of it keeps the whole sit comfortable.
- Patch test first: If you have sensitive skin or allergies, patch test 24 hours before your session.
- Pairs with the cream: Cream to go in numb, spray to stay numb. Together they cover the longest sittings start to finish.
- No alcohol 24hrs before: Drinking before your session reduces the effectiveness of numbing products and increases bleeding.
- Avoid sun exposure: Keep your fresh tattoo out of direct sunlight while healing. Once healed, use SPF to protect your ink long-term.
- No soaking: Avoid baths, swimming pools, and saunas for at least 2-3 weeks. Quick showers are fine.
- Free UK shipping on orders over £50. Add a top-up to qualify.
- Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm (Mon-Fri).
- Next-day delivery available at checkout when you need it fast.
- International shipping available to US, EU, and worldwide.

FOR WHEN IT STARTS TO BITE
The mid-session rescue. If any of these sound like your sit, keep this on the tray.
When the cream wears off
Every numbing cream fades eventually. This sprays straight onto the broken skin and brings it back in minutes. Don't tap out at hour three.
Numbing back in 2-3 minutes
No wrap, no waiting around. A quick pause, an even coat, a couple of minutes, and you're back to sitting comfortably.
The stretches that break you
The brutal areas are where numbing fades fastest. Top up on the spot and hold still through the parts that usually make people tap out.
Cream in, spray to stay
Numbing cream gets you in numb, the spray keeps you there. Together they cover the longest sits, start to finish.
Big sit ahead? Keep the rescue on the tray and never tap out early again.
HOW TO SIT IT NUMB
Rescue Spray works during your session, on broken skin. When the numbing fades, spray it on and keep going.
Sit your session
Start your session as normal, numbed with cream or fresh. When the numbing begins to fade on a long piece, reach for the spray.
Pause & spray
Ask your artist to pause. Spray an even coat directly onto the worked area, a few cm from the skin.
Wait 2-3 minutes
Give it 2-3 minutes to activate on the broken skin. No wrap, no long wait. Your artist can wipe any excess before carrying on.
Keep going
Carry on with the session, numbing restored. Re-apply through the sit whenever you need another top-up.
Why it works mid-session
Rescue Spray is built for broken skin, which is exactly why it activates in minutes instead of needing a 90-minute wrap like a pre-session cream. That's what lets it save a long sit on the spot.
Got Questions?
Everything you need to know before your next tattoo.
Rescue Spray is a top-up, not a base numb. Each application buys you another stretch of comfortable sitting, and you can re-apply through a long session as often as you need. It activates in 2 to 3 minutes on broken skin.
Use it during your session, once the skin is broken and the numbing starts to fade, usually a few hours in on a long sit. Ask your artist to pause, spray the worked area, wait 2-3 minutes, and continue. It is designed to work on broken skin, which a pre-session cream cannot.
Hold the bottle a few cm from the skin and spray an even coat directly onto the area being tattooed. Wait 2 to 3 minutes to activate, let your artist wipe any excess, and carry on. Re-apply as needed. No cling film, no long wait, it is built for mid-session use.

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?"
Won't affect your ink or healing.
Wipes down between passes and won't interfere with ink absorption or healing, which is why artists are happy to use it mid-session.

Your artist probably stocks it.
