Getting a tattoo can be uncomfortable, but the level of pain varies depending on the individual and the location of the tattoo. Our artists use techniques to minimise discomfort, and we can provide guidance on how to care for your tattoo after the appointment to minimise any pain or discomfort.

Yes, you must be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo or piercing at THE NUMB SPOT. If you are under 18, you must have a parent or legal guardian present and provide written consent.

The healing time for a tattoo or piercing varies depending on the individual and the location of the tattoo. Generally, tattoos take 2-4 weeks to heal, while piercings can take 4-6 weeks or longer. Our artists will provide you with aftercare instructions to help speed up the healing process.

• Pain Relief: Blocks pain signals, numbing the skin for 3-4 hours.
• Comfort: Ideal for sensitive areas, making the tattoo process smoother and less painful.
•  Reputation: Highly rated by both tattoo enthusiasts and artists.
• Benefits: Helps you relax, often allowing for a single-session completion.

To maximize numbing effectiveness, avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your tattoo session, as it can reduce the cream’s impact. Perform a patch test the day before on a small skin area, especially if you have sensitive skin, leaving it on for 10-20 minutes to check for any reactions (minor redness is normal).

Steps for Use

1. Clean and Exfoliate: Thoroughly wash and exfoliate the area to remove dirt and dead skin, ensuring better cream absorption. Dry completely.
2. Apply Cream: Spread a thick layer (about 2mm) over the area and rub in well.
3. Wrap: Cover with cling film to retain heat and activate the cream.
4. Wait 60 Minutes: Keep the wrap in place for one hour.
5. Remove and Wipe: Take off the cling film, wipe away the cream, and wait 15 minutes before starting.
