The Full Session Kit
Numb. Rescue. Heal. Every stage covered.
- XL Numbing Cream (30g): Maximum strength fast-acting formula. Apply before your session for up to 4 hours of pain-free tattooing. XL size covers bigger pieces and longer sessions.
- Rescue Spray (30ml): Mid-session top-up spray. Works on broken skin so you can re-numb during the tattoo when the cream starts wearing off. No more tapping out halfway through.
- Aftercare Balm (50ml): Healing balm that accelerates recovery, reduces redness, and locks in colour on fresh ink. Use daily for 2-3 weeks post-tattoo.
- Save £11 compared to buying all three products separately (£86 individually).
- Before your session:
- Step 1: Wash and dry the area to be tattooed.
- Step 2: Apply a thick layer of XL numbing cream (2mm) and rub in thoroughly.
- Step 3: Cover with cling film and leave for 30-45 minutes before your appointment.
- Step 4: Your artist wipes off the cream. The area is numb and ready for ink.
- During your session:
- Step 5: When numbing starts to fade, ask your artist for a quick break.
- Step 6: Spray Rescue Spray directly onto the area being worked on.
- Step 7: Wait 2-3 minutes for it to activate, then continue the session.
- After your session:
- Step 8: Gently wash your fresh tattoo with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap.
- Step 9: Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Never rub or use fabric towels.
- Step 10: Apply a thin layer of Aftercare Balm. Repeat 2-3 times daily for 2-3 weeks.
- Apply generously: Don't spread the cream too thin. A thick 2mm layer covered with cling film gives the best results.
- Timing matters: Apply 30-45 minutes before your session. Too early and it starts wearing off, too late and it hasn't fully activated.
- Don't waste the spray: Save the Rescue Spray for when you actually need it mid-session. You don't need it from the start if the cream is applied properly.
- Don't skip aftercare: The first 2 weeks are critical for healing. Consistent balm application keeps ink vibrant and skin healthy.
- 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.
- Bigger pieces and sleeves: The XL cream covers more area and the rescue spray means you won't lose numbing halfway through a long session.
- Sessions over 3 hours: The cream alone lasts up to 4 hours, but the spray lets you push well beyond that if needed.
- Sensitive areas: Ribs, feet, inner arm, spine, sternum. The spots that make people tap out. This kit keeps you comfortable through all of them.
- Repeat customers: Already tried the starter kit? This is the upgrade. More product, mid-session backup, complete aftercare.
- Gift idea: Know someone with a big session booked? This is the kit that says "I've got your back."
- Free UK shipping on this kit (over £50 threshold).
- Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm (Mon-Fri).
- International shipping available to US, EU, and worldwide.
- 100% money-back guarantee — not happy with your results? Full refund, no questions asked.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Full Session Kit includes three products: XL Numbing Cream (30g) for before your session, Rescue Spray (30ml) for mid-session top-ups, and Aftercare Balm (50ml) for healing afterwards. You save £11 compared to buying them separately.
The XL cream provides up to 4 hours of numbing on its own. When the numbing starts to fade, you can extend it further with the Rescue Spray mid-session, so you're covered for even the longest sittings.
Yes, that's exactly what it's designed for. The Rescue Spray is formulated to work on broken skin during a tattoo session. Ask your artist for a quick break, spray the area, wait 2-3 minutes for it to activate, then carry on.
No. All three products are artist-approved and won't interfere with ink absorption, line quality, or healing. The numbing cream is wiped off before tattooing begins, the spray is designed for use during sessions, and the balm actively supports clean healing. Trusted by 500+ artists worldwide.
The 30g XL tube is three times the size of our standard cream and covers larger areas like half-sleeves, back pieces, and full thigh work when applied at the recommended 2mm thickness. For smaller pieces or touch-ups, our Starter Kit with the 10g tube may be a better fit.
Yes, all three products are dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types. We recommend a small patch test 24 hours before your session if you have particularly sensitive skin or known allergies. Some minor temporary redness at the application site is normal.
UK orders are dispatched same-day on orders placed before 2pm (Mon-Fri) and typically arrive within 1-3 working days. International shipping is available and takes 5-10 working days. This kit qualifies for free UK shipping. Every order is backed by our 100% money-back guarantee.
