I use TF out of this stuff. Applied to my knee and didn't feel a 2 hour tattoo. Did the same on my back and didn't feel anything for 3 hours on the areas that I applied it to. You need to put A LOT if on, make sure it's super thick, then wrap it tightly. Leave it on for 1-3 hours prior to the tattoo and you won't feel a thing.

Ithis numbing cream is a savior to some people. Not everyone can withstand the pain it takes to get the tattoo so I personally offer it at my studio and I’m able to pull off amazing pieces with it. Usually last about 3-4 hours with no problem just make sure to put it on thick and wrap for an hour. Also do not use any alchohol it will take away the numbing faster.

This is the solution I was looking for.
My tattoo artist recommended I give this product a try and I am glad I did! I was considering purchasing a cheaper version but I’m glad I went with this. Compared to other brands, I withstood my session the longest with this. I will be buying it again.

I NEVER write reviews, but I had to for this. Used tktx prior to a tattoo and I didn’t feel ANYTHING! I would highly recommending using 40-50 min prior. 10/10 would recommend!!!

So I used this as directed. Followed the directions on the package. I put it on about 2 hours before I got my tattoo & wiped off the remaining cream about a half hour before he started my tattoo. It worked wonders!!! I only felt little pinches when he was shading the butterflies (totally bearable) but with the whole outline of the tattoo I felt NOTHING at all. Highly recommend for anyone who is like me and doesn’t have a high pain tolerance but wants tattoos. I’ll definitely be using this product again for more tattoos

This product works amazing!! You must use it generously though. Apply a super thick layer, wrap in saran wrap and then put on warm clothing to allow it to soak in. I had the best results putting it on about 1.5-2 hours prior to starting the tattoo. The product lasted for a few hours once wiped off. I highly recommend!!

Aaaaaa mazing
I put the cream on at 1:30, my artist stopped at almost 9 pm. The cream had just started to wear off a little. 10/10. Im 50 now and have more difficulty dealing with the pain. Will get it over and over again.

Best product out there!
I have tried many different creams before tattooing, always hoping to find something cheaper that works as well. Still coming back to the TKTX. Last week was my inner arm & elbow ditch. 4.5 hours and didn't feel a thing until the last 15 minutes. None of the other products come close in terms of staying power or depth of coverage. My only complaint? Make bigger tubes please.
