Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Apply The Cream?
All application information is under the application section on the product page you’ll also receive a ‘how to apply’ leaflet with your order.
Which Colour Is Best For Tattoos?
Yellow is our strongest deep numb, perfect for tattoos and piercings.
Which colour is best for aesthetics?
Gold or red are our best fast numbs – ideal for aesthetic procedures.
Why don't you sell TKTX Green?
99% of the sites that are selling greens are selling fakes. This is because the authentic green is 7% lidocaine making it illegal to be sold. This high percentage of lidocaine can be dangerous to use. We sell the yellow which is the same strength as green but made with 3 different numbing agents, instead of just the 1.
HOW TO SPOT A FAKE CREAM?
Make sure the site has extensive and genuine customer reviews! Also never buy from ebay, amazon or wish or places similar. Make sure the seller has a certified certificate and an authentic hologram on the box. If you head to our instagram you’ll see a highlight showing how to spot a fake hologram.
Will the cream affect my ink?
No. Our cream is water based – not oil based – so the ink, tattoo and healing process wont be affected at all!
Do I have to tell my artist/practitioner that ive used the cream?
We would always advise to tell your artist but its not 100% essential. Always tell your practitioner if using the cream for anything other than a tattoo or piercing.
How long will the cream last once opened?
If the cream has been opened please discard after 2 weeks as once the cream has been exposed to air it will not be as effective to numb.
How much will one tube cover?
The tubes are 10g and need to be applied nice and thick! One full tube would only be enough to cover a full forearm.
Can I still drive after using the cream?
Absolutely! The numb is only skin deep and wont affect any of your limbs deeper than the skin.
Will it completely numb the area?
All people are different and have different levels of numbing but as long as you apply correctly it should fully numb the area for the majority of people. See the review section for more information!
What if I have no cling film?
Sandwich bags taped with masking tape work well too. If you cant use anything like that you may find it doesn’t fully numb the area or the numb doesn’t last as long as it should.
My cream has gone a brow/pinkish colour after opening?
This is completely normal! When the cream is exposed to the air it changes colour over time. As long as its not dryed out it should still work just fine!
My numbness is wearing off and I have a red rash?
When the initial numbness sets in, the skin should go more pale if anything. But when the feeling comes back its totally normal for the skin to turn redish as the blood vessels widen back up.
Can I use it for semi-permanent eyeliner?
Yes! Our weakest fast numb (White) would be perfect for this. Very careful application is essential.
How long does the cream numb for?
The deep numb can last up to 3-5 hours
The fast numb can last up to 1-3 hours
CAN I LEAVE IT ON LONGER THAN 2 HOURS?
We would not recommend leaving the cream on longer than 2 hours. The cream will begin the wearing off process after 2 hours
WHAT IF I LEAVE IT LESS THAN THE REQUIRED TIME?
You might not have the full effective numbing experience, we recommend always leaving the cream on for the recommended application time.
Can I use it on sensitive skin?
Yes! Take our quiz to find out which colour is best for you
