I recommend this to every client who asks about numbing. The single-use packets keep things hygienic and the 5% lidocaine actually works. None of the diluted stuff.

Got a full sleeve done over multiple sessions. TAT2NUMB made the long ones possible. Applied 75 minutes before and barely felt the outline.

The epinephrine formula is the difference. Other creams numb for an hour. This one holds through a 3-hour session. Won't use anything else.

How To Use

Prep

Wash the area with soap and water. Pat completely dry before applying.

Apply

Layer on thick. Cover with plastic wrap. Do NOT rub in — the cream must sit on the surface.

Wait

Leave on for 60–90 minutes. Wipe completely clean. Begin your procedure.

If discomfort occurs, stop using immediately. Keep out of reach of children. Store below 86°F.

Coverage Guide

How much
do you need?

Depends on the piece. A single 10g packet covers a full forearm. Half covers wrists, ankles, and smaller placements. Use the reference below to order the right amount.

Half Packet · 5g4″ × 5″

Wrists, ankles, and small pieces typically need half a packet. The rest keeps in the sealed portion — though single-use is always recommended.
