1 pack of numbing cream
If you are planning on getting a tattoo that is on the smaller scale and doesn’t cover a lot of skin. This is the perfect package, designed for tattoos that doesn’t cover your body completely, but still exudes character. The ideal usage of this package, would be for tattoos, such as, one side of the forearm, one of your pecs or perhaps your shoulder.

It’s important to say, if you have an 8 hour session, you shouldn’t be applying all five creams at the same time, as the effect will wear off, before the session is done. So we suggest you do half of the area you are getting done first, and then apply it to the next half, when the tattoo artist is an hour or an hour and a half away from being done with the first half.
10 pack of numbing cream
This is for the sessions that isn’t possible to do in one day. The 10 cream package is enough to get your whole upper body or lower body tattooed. It will be the perfect fit for you, if you’re going all in, to get your whole upper or lower body tattooed.
