Tattoo ointment

Tattoo ointment

A tattoo ointment is a numbing cream that is applied to the skin. The pain sensation of the creamed skin is significantly reduced. The cream can be used before appointments for tattoos, permanent make-up, piercing or waxing.

A tattoo is pierced into the skin with fine needles. Then the nerve receptors in the skin send signals to your brain and you feel the pain. A tattoo ointment usually contains a painkiller such as lidocaine or prilocaine. They prevent the pain receptors from transmitting the pain signals.

Order tattoo ointment - how do I use it?

Apply the ointment liberally - one to two millimeters - to the area to be tattooed. Wrap the creamed skin airtight with cling film. Cover the breast or back with foil and stick it in place with Leukoplast strips. In this way, the cream does not dry out, the skin becomes warm and can absorb the substances well. Tattoo ointments usually work quickly, after 30 to 60 minutes the skin is insensitive. The anesthetic lasts between two and four hours.

The tubes are small, for very large tattoos - on the leg or back - you may need two packs. However, please keep in mind that lidocaine is a narcotic that the body cannot tolerate indefinitely. The skin should also not be exposed to direct sunlight during application and afterwards. If possible, remove the cream just before the start of the session.

Buy tattoo ointment - when should I use it?

Even if you love tattoos and the pain is part of it for you, you may shy away from very large tattoos, such as flowers or mythical creatures. Especially since these tattoos are often shaded and colored in a complex manner.

These sessions can last indefinitely. First the outlines are tattooed, then the color is applied. Large tattoos - for example on the leg - extend over areas of different sensitivity. The calf is usually easy to bear, but the knees or ankles are extremely painful.

Or you are planning coordinated tattoos such as a dagger motif on the breastbone and knees with matching colors. But bony structures - breastbone, collarbone, knees - are extremely sensitive when tattooing. With the TKTX cream, almost all body regions can be tattooed without any problems.
