Application Guide
How to Apply TKTX Numbing Cream Correctly
Most people who say numbing cream did not work skipped one of these steps. Follow this method exactly and NUMBX Beast Black will work.
Clean and Dry Skin
Wash the tattoo area with soap and water. Pat completely dry. No body lotion or moisturiser -- it blocks absorption.
Apply Thick Layer
Apply a generous, thick layer. Do not rub it in. The cream sits on the skin surface -- a thin layer does not work.
Wrap with Cling Film
Cover immediately with cling film and seal the edges. This is essential. Open air causes the active to evaporate.
Leave 60 to 90 Minutes
Wait the full 60 to 90 minutes. Wipe clean just before your artist starts. The numbing begins within 20 to 30 minutes.
For ribs and chest tattoos: apply 90 minutes before your appointment for maximum depth. NUMBX Beast Black 100% is specifically designed for these high-pain placements where standard TKTX numbing cream falls short.
Real UK Customers
What They Say
"Used TKTX Black for my rib piece last year and honestly it barely touched the pain. Switched to NUMBX Beast Black 100% for my chest session and the difference was massive. Felt maybe 10% of what I expected. This is genuinely the best tattoo numbing cream I have tried in the UK."
"I was sceptical because I thought TKTX was the strongest you could get. My artist actually recommended NUMBX Beast Black and I am so glad I listened. Six hour session on my spine and I managed four of those hours completely pain-free. Nothing else comes close."
"Fast delivery, really well packaged and the product is absolutely class. Done three sessions now with NUMBX Beast Black. My tattooist said my skin stays way firmer than when clients use TKTX which makes lining much easier. Reordering every time now."
