​
Can I use numbing cream? Yes, we don't have any issue with people using numbing cream. We would advise that you test the numbing cream on a small area of your skin prior to your appointment as some people can have quite a bad reaction to it. Also it it worth noting that in our experience numbing cream only typically lasts for a few hours. When it wears off it seems to make people a lot more sensitive to the pain of getting tattooed

​
What does getting a tattoo feel like? It can feel different for everyone, as everyone has different pain thresholds. Some people may experience minimal discomfort, while others may experience more intense pain. The sensation of getting a tattoo can best be described as a scratching sensation, and later to a feeling of being sunburnt. The area being tattooed may also feel sore or tender after the tattoo is finished. We will always try to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
