Pre-Tattoo Rituals That Enhance Numbing Cream Performance (and Avoid Complications)
You must make sure that your skin is clean (without oils, lotions, or dirt) before you apply any numbing cream. Wash the part of the tattoo with a fragrance-free cleanser and then dry it with a clean towel. The numbing cream penetrates through clean skin better, which is why it is maximally effective in terms of pain relief.
