Tattoo Numbing Cream vs. Numbing Spray: What’s the Difference?
Whether you’re planning your first tattoo, prepping for a piercing, or considering laser removal, one thing’s for sure, nobody enjoys pain.
At TKTX Tattoo, we understand the importance of feeling comfortable and confident during your procedure, which is why we offer a comprehensive range of tattoo numbing creams designed to minimise discomfort.
But what about numbing sprays? Are they equally effective, or is there a clear winner?
Let’s break down the differences between tattoo numbing cream and numbing spray, so you can decide which is best for you.
What is Tattoo Numbing Cream?
Tattoo numbing cream is a topical anaesthetic that works by penetrating the skin and desensitising nerve endings.
The result? A significantly reduced sensation during tattoos, piercings, waxing, or aesthetic treatments.
At TKTX, our deep numbing creams are specially formulated for longer, more intense sessions such as large tattoo pieces or laser removals.
For quicker procedures, our fast-acting numbing cream is perfect for facial aesthetics, smaller tattoos, or waxing. Each product is:
- Water-based for better skin absorption
- Made from premium ingredients
- Designed to deliver maximum numbing with minimal irritation
What is Numbing Spray?
Numbing sprays offer a fast-acting, lightweight alternative to creams. They’re typically applied on broken skin, which means after the tattooing process has already started. Sprays are often used mid-session to refresh the numbing effect or when reapplying creams isn’t practical.
While sprays work faster, they don’t last as long as creams and may be less effective on unbroken skin. This makes them a useful tool during a tattoo session, but not always suitable for use before a procedure begins.
Which One Should You Choose?
For most clients, especially those new to tattoos or sensitive to pain, numbing cream is the go-to solution.
Our TKTX tattoo numbing creams offer the strongest, most consistent results for full-body procedures. They’re easy to apply, fast-absorbing, and backed by our status as the UK’s only certified TKTX distributor.
However, if you’re a professional artist or undergoing an extended session, having both options available, a cream for pre-application and a spray for touch-ups might be ideal.
