Can I use numbing cream before getting a tattoo?
Numbing cream can help reduce pain during a tattoo, but some creams can affect the tattoo process or interact with ink, which may impact tattoo quality. It can also affect the artist’s process if the numbing cream alters the texture of your skin, potentially prolonging the session time.
If you need to use numbing cream, discuss it with your tattoo artist in advance to get appropriate advice and support.
