The real reason is they feel cheated because they had to go through the pain to get it. You have the option to get a pain free tattoo, they didn't.

Mine healed fine when I got a half sleeve. It took over 20 hours because of the detail. On the second session I was shaking when standing up after sitting there for 7 or so hours just taking the pain. There is a ton of black in it, which is why. My mind outpaces my body, so even though I was shaking and scaring my artist, I didn't really feel all that bad. That's when my artist used numbing cream for me. I would be lying if I didn't say there were super painful moments where I was questioning everything. That numbing cream was crazy, I could sit there just fine and not feel anything for a good half hour, but places like the crease of my elbow still stung a little.

I've been tattooing 33 years and I'm still getting tattooed myself. I don't like it when clients use it (but I do) lol. Not going to lie, I'm out of places to get tattooed that don't hurt a lot and painless tattoo cream seems to work well up to 4 hrs for me. I'm only getting high contrast blackwork now, no color and no soft shading so it works fine for me.

I have sleeves, chest blasted and few other pieces. Elbows and knees suck of course but I just prefer to firm it. Pain is different for everyone but for me it isn't that bad once you get going

I have a leg sleeve and an arm sleeve. Have never used numbing cream til my last session and I absolutely hated it. It just felt very weird and gave me a false sense of security. The vast majority of the area getting tatted was numb but not completely so I’d feel nothing then BAM shit would hurt so bad. I did not like it at all. Versus no cream yeah it sucks for a few minutes then your body almost gets used to the pain in a weird way and you just embrace the suck. Will never use it again

Literally i experienced the complete opposite of everything he said! I’ve had the cream on one of my tattoos and it came out perfect, healed perfectly, and the numbing stayed for about an hour and the tattoo lasted just over an hour! Clearly it just depends on the cream you use and the type of skin you have

I tattoo myself and I did the outline of a rose and the pain was ok but now I got to shade and the only reason im using numbing cream is because im not use to shading on real skin so I’ll rather mess up on myself than an actual client

Just started my back. Definitely the most painful part of my body to get tattooed (have had my legs, arms, and chest done). The first day was excruciating but second day my artist used numbing spray and it was way more smooth sailing. Once you're close to the bone like the sternum or clavicle it still feels weird because you feel your bones vibrating, but otherwise it's so much easier. The cream only lasts 2-3 hours but once it starts to fade you can ask your artist to use a numbing spray, which works best on broken skin, to extend the session a couple more hours.

Im 35 been getting tatted for 20 years now. I just started using this shit. I wish it was a thing when i had my throat blacked out or my belly tats….but nah i like it my boy owns a shop here in Maine (Disconnected Tattoo Ellsworth ME) he picks on me about it but he don’t give a fuck . Ive had killer luck with it so far. Ive earned my stripes of pain. Lol

Someone across from me was getting tattooed with numbing cream. He tapped out 3 hours in, as soon as it wore off. He said all the pain at once sucked.

@jsindc20009 11 күн бұрын

You can use the cream as a "bridge." After it wears off, the skin has already been broken so your artist can use sprays or foams like bactine to extend the session further. I generally ask my artist to do that and I can extend a session to 5 or 6 hours. (Any more than that and my skin actually starts to get sore and it starts to burn with or without the numbing stuff.)

@greglopez2096 4 ай бұрын

Not gonna lie. Biggest bullshit I have heard. I have done no numbing cream and with numbing well spray, not cream. And they have both healed the same. And there is drastic difference in pain. Numbing spray is way easier than no numbing spray. If someone tapped at 3 hours it’s because they just cant handle it. I normally get tattoo for 4 hours. Take a 10-20 minute break while numbing spray is applied. Tattoo resumes. I dont feel shit for 3-4 hours. Reapply the spray. Go again for hours. There is a point where your body cant handle anymore. But guarantee you if you dont have that numbing spray, its gonna be alot shorter of a day

@tommytwo-times9053 4 ай бұрын

sounds like if you’re getting tattooed on a sensitive spot you should use it, i just don’t see the point if it’s somewhere basic like your bicep or something

Did you use the painless tattoo numbing spray or was it a different brand? If my session will be 2 back to back days. Is it safe to use?

@jsindc20009 11 күн бұрын

@@emersonrivera2981 it's safe to use but painless tattoo is not the best IMO. TKTX is great and I've used it for a few years now. When it wears out ask your artist to follow it up with the spray, which works best on broken skin.
