How to use tattoo anesthetic cream?

Below, tktx.ph outlines the general process for using an anesthetic cream for tattooing:

1. Wash the area of the body where the tattoo will be done with water and mild soap, making sure it is completely dry before applying the anesthetic cream.

2. Apply a thick, even layer of anesthetic cream to the tattoo area, ensuring it fully covers the skin to be tattooed. The amount needed may vary depending on the size of the treatment area.

3. Cover the tattoo area with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to help keep the anesthetic cream on the skin and prevent it from drying out. It will take about 20–30 minutes for the cream to begin taking effect.

4. After the recommended application time, remove the covering and gently wipe off the anesthetic cream with warm water and mild soap. Be sure to remove all residue before starting the tattooing process.
