Yes. You can use numbing cream; however, there are a few things to keep in mind: You must ask your artist’s advice BEFORE buying or using the numbing cream.  Ideally, you would inquire about this during the booking process. Numbing cream can have many effects during and after the tattoo, including (but not limited to): Blistering | Bruising | Rash | Irritation | Burning | Discolouration of the skin | Redness | Swelling at the application site Furthermore, numbing cream can affect the saturation of the ink when applying the ink to the skin; it can cause the ink to reject during the tattooing process, as well as cause discolouration of the tattoo while healing. Numbing cream needs to be applied at least 1 hour before the tattooing process. Please advise your artist if you have used numbing cream or wish to use numbing cream. We reserve the right to refuse service: • For any issues related to numbing cream use • If you show up to your appointment with numbing cream applied and haven't told your artist • If you use a numbing cream that was not recommended by your artist
