APPLY TO UNBROKEN SKIN
– Wash hands thoroughly
– Remove any excessive hair
– Make sure the area is clean, dry and not cold!
– Spread a thick layer over the area, around 2-3mm thick! Don’t rub it in!
– Cover it with plastic film – make sure its air tight, but not too tight. Masking tape is great for awkward places! (this process can prevent evaporation while encouraging slow and proper -absorption into the skin
– Wash your hands thoroughly after application !
– Leave for 1 hour
– Remove the film, wipe/clean the area (your artist/nurse will probably do this for you)

For piercings, film is better where possible but the cream should still work without!

For extra large areas (full back piece), when possible, only remove sections of the film at a time to keep the area numbed for longer

Only apply the cream to exterior skin

Gold, Black and Green is our best cream, perfect for tattoos and piercings.

Gold are our best fast numbs – ideal for aesthetic procedures.

Make sure never buy from ebay, amazon or wish or places similar. Make sure the seller has a certified certificate and an authentic hologram on the box.

No. Our cream is water based – not oil based – so the ink, tattoo and healing process wont be affected at all!

We would always advise to tell your artist but its not 100% essential. Always tell your practitioner if using the cream for anything other than a tattoo or piercing.

If the cream has been opened please discard after 2 weeks as once the cream has been exposed to air it will not be as effective to numb.

The tubes are 10g and need to be applied nice and thick! 2 full tubes would only be enough to cover a full forearm.

Absolutely! The numb is only skin deep and wont affect any of your limbs deeper than the skin.

All people are different and have different levels of numbing but as long as you apply correctly it should fully numb the area for the majority of people. See the review section for more information!

Sandwich bags taped with masking tape work well too. If you cant use anything like that you may find it doesn’t fully numb the area or the numb doesn’t last as long as it should.

This is completely normal! When the cream is exposed to the air it changes colour over time. As long as its not dryed out it should still work just fine!

When the initial numbness sets in, the skin should go more pale if anything. But when the feeling comes back its totally normal for the skin to turn redish as the blood vessels widen back up.

Yes! We recommend the Green one, would be perfect for this. Very careful application is essential.

The deep numb can last up to 3-5 hours
The fast numb can last up to 1-3 hours

We would not recommend leaving the cream on longer than 1 hour. 

You might not have the full effective numbing experience, we recommend always leaving the cream on for the recommended application time.
