You need to keep in mind some important things like:

 

• Do not drink alcohol after using the numbing cream for the skin otherwise, it will be less effective.
• Use the cream on a small spot before using it on the whole area. It will inform you about any allergic reactions that you might have.
• Also, wait for 20 minutes to check if any swelling is there.

 

There are some minor effects that few people can face after using numbing cream for the skin. But not everybody has them. But there is nothing to worry about as these minor effects will also dissipate after some time.

 

There are mixed opinions given by tattoo artists on using numbing cream for skin. Some old-school artists believe that pain is a part of the process and people must endure it. Others want their customers to be chilled out and happy while getting a tattoo so they recommend it. But there are some important things that every tattoo artist recommends like:

 

• No caffeine for 48 hours before a tattoo.
• No alcohol for 48 hours before you get a tattoo.

 

The reason is that they make the blood thin. Thinner blood means more bleeding in tattoo making than required. Also, the numbing cream for the skin needs to be applied only 90 minutes before the process to ease the pain and make the whole process easier.

 

You will not feel any pain for 4 hours or until the effect wears off. Therefore, it is best if you do not get any injury in the numb area. You will not feel at that time but it can be lethal afterward. If you want a tattoo on your private areas, then it is recommended to use numbing cream for skin after getting the doctor’s approval. You do not want any allergy or discomfort down there. So, be careful always while using numbing cream.
