Other tattoo numbing creams and gels use epinephrine in their products, but we never do. Why not? Epinephrine can make your heart race, and constricts blood vessels. We simply want the best pain relief, with the highest quality product. The first benefit that probably comes to mind when you think about using a numbing product is a more comfortable tattoo session. But there are other benefits as well. People who use good tattoo numbing products are often able to finish their tattoo session with fewer — or no — breaks.
They may be able to get a large tattoo done in fewer sessions than expected, because the work goes faster and any discomfort is far more mild. The most important ingredient in tattoo numbing products is lidocaine, which can block nerves from sending signals to the brain. Many people prefer a numbing cream or gel without epinephrine.
This ingredient can make your heart race, along with several other negative side effects. Tattoo Numbing Ointment is the heavy hitter of the 3 tattoo numbing agents. It only needs to be applied once or maybe twice. It sticks to the skin very well, and is great for larger tattoos or tattoos in very painful spots. Your tattoo artist will know the best tattoo numbing agent for your specific tattoo, so you shouldn't worry too much about which they are using, they have your best interest in mind.
This is the real question. Do these tattoo numbing creams, ointments, and sprays actually work? However, they are not a magic cream that is going to make your tattoo completely painless. They will make the pain bearable though, and in some cases much more bearable.
They are definitely not needed for every tattoo, but sometimes they are just what the doctor ordered. Tattoo numbing creams are recommended If you are going to be getting a tattoo in a very sensitive area, or if you are going to be getting a very large tattoo.
They are also recommended if you are nervous. If the fear of some pain is the only thing holding you back from your dream tattoo, then, by all means use a tattoo numbing agent. Then, kick back, relax, and enjoy getting your new tattoo. If you are getting a small tattoo, in a not sensitive area like your upper arm , you are probably not going to need tattoo numbing spray. I am sure you will be able to handle it.
