Pro Tips from Tattoo Artists to Use Numbing Cream for a Perfect Tattoo
The artists we spoke with recommend applying a thick, generous layer of Numbastay over the entire area you’ll be getting tattooed. You should be able to see a visible white layer of the cream on your skin. Once you’ve applied it, wrap the area with plastic wrap (like kitchen cling wrap) to create an airtight seal. This traps the heat from your body, which helps the cream absorb better and last longer.
