Can I Use Numbing Cream?

My thoughts on numbing cream...

Numbing Cream has many different options throughout the tattoo industry. Some artist have claimed that it changes the texture of the skin and makes it more difficult to tattoo. And possible healing difficulties. As for my experience, I've had some clients use numbing cream before. I didn't notice any changes from my pov.

I recommend the client does very extensive research to see if numbing cream is ideal for them. And to do a test patch a week before their appt to make sure there are no side effects.

I cannot recommend a numbing cream to you because I have never used it on myself. Proceed with caution and always let your artist know if you are wanting to use numbing cream.
