Love this stuff. The ribs i have heard are very bad to tattoo. This cream and spray made it bearable. This tattoo took about 3 hrs and it wasn't bad at all.

Tattoo Aftercare: The Do's
1. Keep It Clean
- Immediately after the session: Your artist will cover your tattoo with a protective barrier. This is to prevent airborne bacteria from invading your wound. The dressing can usually be removed after a few hours, as advised by your artist.
- Washing: Gently wash your tattoo area twice a day with lukewarm water and mild, antimicrobial soap. Let the area dry completely.
2. Moisturize
- Hydration is key: After cleaning, apply a thin layer of your Painless Tattoo Aftercare product. This keeps the tattoo hydrated and promotes healing. Keep it moisturized. BUT, Avoid over-moisturizing, as this can suffocate the tattoo and cause issues.
3. Protect From the Sun
- Do not expose your fresh tattoo to the sun until healed.
- Sunscreen: Once healed, protect your tattoo from sun damage by applying a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen. This prevents fading and maintains the vibrancy of your tattoo.
4. Allow Time to Heal
- Patience: Healing times vary, but generally, a tattoo takes about 2-4 weeks to heal on the surface and up to 6 months below the surface. Follow your artist’s advice and give your skin the time it needs.
5. Wear Appropriate Clothing
- Loose and breathable: Opt for clothing that doesn’t rub against your new tattoo. Natural fabrics like cotton allow the skin to breathe and heal.
6. Avoid Water Immersion
- No swimming or soaking: Keep your tattoo out of pools, hot tubs, and bathtubs until it fully heals to avoid infection and ink loss.
7. Temporarily Modify Workouts
- Be careful with: Heavy sweating and stretching of the skin can hinder the healing process. Limit intense physical activity for a bit,

Obviously there’s no fool proof way to make it 100% pain free, but this definitely made my first tattoo experience smooth! We were able to thug it out for 5.5 hours with occasional numbing spray to help toward the end. I will definitely be using for the remainder of my sleeve
Did 4 hours with 0 pain. Started this with 6 hours with lots of pain especially on the knee and ditch. Night and day difference. I had zero pain this time. 100% recommend!!
Love this stuff I already ordered more waiting for that order to come in this stuff actually works nd stays num longer than other brands
The numbing cream worked pretty well, what was pretty amazing was the numbing spray after the tattoo started I didn’t feel a thing for the last 5 hours of the tattoo.
I used the Alpha Butter and helped the healing process. Brings out the color mixed tattoo pop.. love this product would buy it every single time. Highly recommended. P
The is stuff is amazing I would definitely buy again and just apply a thicker layer !! Only was a little painful around the edges where it wasn’t as thick I haven’t used the spray yet thru this session will update !! But overall I’m very satisfied !!
Finished this cover up tattoo & never felt any pain at all! 10/10 recommend this product
My husband has nerve damage in his leg and without the cream his leg was involuntarily twitching with the needle. For the second session he used the cream and it worked wonders! Highly recommend and will definitely purchase again.
Lasted more than 3 hours!!! Highly recommend 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great experience keep ls my tattoo fresh and pain free
I was very sceptical as I’ve tried numbing cream in the past and once it worn off, the pain was unbearable. Yesterday I used Painless Tattoo for the first time, I sat through a 5 hour session with ease. What I also liked was that it gradually wore off, allowing the body to get use to the pain. I will be buying bucket loads of this stuff🤘🏼😂
Used it for my finger tattoos. Worked great! Parts of my hand were numb for over 12hrs. Definitely recommend
The lotion butter is great. I used it multiple times a day and my tattoo hardly peeled at all. Keeping it moisturized is the key. Love the stuff. The numbing stuff didn’t really help with me, I don’t really know why but I applied it two hours before like it says but I felt every needle punch. But it could just be my body. Love your stuff! I’m getting another tattoo this weekend so looking forward to treating it with your products!
Painless Numbing Cream is excellent! This was my first time ever trying a numbing cream, and huge thanks to my artist for recommending it. While it was active, I honestly didn’t feel a thing on my neck or throat during the tattoo. The numbness unfortunately doesn’t last very long, and once it wears off, the pain definitely kicks in harder! But even then, this product made the session way more tolerable. The numbing spray was an absolute lifesaver too. Highly recommend both! I’ll definitely be buying more for my next session to finish up my neck tattoo.!
Started my sleeve and sat through 7 hours pain free! With the cream and spray.. about to order my 2nd order for my nxt session
Had a memorial piece of the 2 dogs I lost recently on my chest and sat for a couple hours and didn’t feel much of anything until the end I forgot the spray at home but will definitely buy again
Skin was getting tight applied alpha and it loosened up really quick great stuff still using it for after care
Worked very well, I was able to sit for 4 hours without any break. Will definitely use this to finish the sleeve.
This stuff works great, I applied about a 2mm thick layer for 45 min as directed by the instructions and it definitely numbed my skin to a pain of 0. I had no pain at all, however this only lasted about 45 for me so I am skeptical of the reviews saying it lasts for 2-3 hours because I didn’t even get a full hour. For that reason I would say it is just a little overpriced. With that being said, my tattoo artist said the skin was just like normal to tattoo and I had very little redness from the product. In my opinion you should get more coverage for the price point but it does work.
I enjoy the therapy of the needle, but am a bit tender around my spine area. First time ever using numbing cream and I didn’t even know he was laying down any ink! Great product!
This is the 2nd time I have used the cream and it is the best numbing cream that I have found so far.
I tested out Painless Tattoo on a forearm piece (pictured) in advance of a 3 day session I’ve got planned for a half-sleeve in July. I was skeptical at first but after following the directions, I’ve got to say I’m impressed! The cream numbing lasted about 5 hours and the only sensation I had was feeling slight pressure on areas where my artist was having to layer in lots of color. After the numbness wore off, we hit it with the spray, waited about 30 minutes and started in again. The spray took the edge off for the last 3 hours and I honestly fell asleep through part of it. Needless to say, I’m impressed and I’ll definitely be using this product for my three day session in July.
My wife and I both used this product for our new tattoos in tender areas and both of us agreed we would never get another tattoo without it! This product is amazing and I will definitely be buying again.
A friend of mines brother works with painless tattoos (he is a tattoo artist) and she highly recommended I check you all out! After reading comment from other people’s experience with painless tattoo I was down to try it and I am so dang glad I did! I bought the starter kit and went through 1 packet of cream and 1 application of spray during my 8 hour session which included finishing outlining and getting some more shading done on my sleeve and I did not feel a thing throughout!!! With the numbing cream itself, I was able to sit through 4-5 hours before needing to apply the spray! Without the cream I would have sweat through 2 layers of shirts and my shorts honestly from pain, but I didn’t have to worry about it thanks to you guys!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product, especially for sensitive areas! 💛💛
Product is great and works very well for numbing the tattoo area especially where a lot of shading takes place . Great product!!
It Keeps Holds color in your Tattoo Really good,Heals your Tattoo perfect no cracking nor Scabbing and Its Good for your Skin Check the Ingredients.5 Stars for me and my clients love it⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Litterally rattled my rib cage and tickled at times. I have Tourette's syndrome and epilepsy this right here i was amazed ive done and had some done with this cream and it is legit the best shoot fall asleep like i did
It was amazing at first. If I didn’t know I was there for a tattoo. I wouldn’t have known that’s what was happening. The downfall. When it wears off it makes it that much worse. Do I think it was worth buying? 100% there is no way I would have gotten all the way through if I had to deal with the whole intensity the whole time. FYI back of the leg; just a bit sensitive.
Trying to finish up my sleeve, ive been putting off my inner arm. I knew it was gonna be a rough one. My artist recommended Painless, and it did not disappoint! I would have never made it thru this session without it. And even as it started to wear off, a quick spray of the numbing spray put me right back it! 100% worth it! 🙌
Painless Tattoo cream definitely helped get through the pain on my elbow Works as advertised.
About an hour before my session, I got in the shower, exfoliated the area and applied a thick layer of the numbing cream. I wiped off the access right before the session started and I was completely numb for the full 5 hours. I could not even feel anything even in the most sensitive areas. I love this product!!
It was great! Let’s you sit more comfortably with less irritation.
It works perfect. It lasts 4 to 5 hours with no pain.
It’s been awhile since I got tattooed. I’m running out of skin. I finally decided what I wanted. I have used your numbing cream before so I ordered more. I was nervous because I had heard your cream didn’t work as well when you stopped use the tubes. But I’m very happy to report it works perfectly as usual. Never felt a thing. Put it on 1 and a half hours before my appointment. Most importantly I wrapped my leg with plastic wrap. So glad I stuck with your product. I’ll be back for more..🩷😍🥰🫶🏻
First time I ever sat like a rock. I was so nervous going into my first neck tattoo. Painless Tattoo works so well I fell asleep! Will be using it for the rest of my up coming sleeve! 100/10
I love it
The numbing cream is amazing! It stayed numb for 8 hours, highly recommend! The butter keeps the tattoo from itching and keeps it moisturized!
The cream was great, the spray was fantastic! Will definitely order & use again.
Great product once creme started to wear off i sprayed the the numbing spray and it worked great
