Numbing Cream: To Use Or Not To Use?

At RIP Tattoo Care, we prioritize your comfort and safety. We offer a 5% lidocaine numbing cream to help make your tattoo experience as painless as possible. However, we believe in full transparency about the slight risks associated with using lidocaine.

Understanding the Risks: While 5% lidocaine is generally safe when used as directed, there are potential side effects, including skin irritation and, in rare cases, more serious reactions such as dizziness, irregular heartbeat, or difficulty breathing. We do not use epinephrine in our numbing cream to further ensure your safety.

Natural Benefits: To enhance the benefits of lidocaine, our numbing cream is enriched with natural extracts like wild mint, golden chamomile, and purslane. These ingredients provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, helping to soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. This combination not only enhances the effectiveness of the lidocaine but also supports overall skin health during the tattoo process.

Respecting Your Choices: We understand and respect that some individuals may choose to avoid these risks altogether. Getting a tattoo is a personal decision that inherently involves some risk, and we fully support your right to make informed choices about your body and your health.

Informed Decisions: At RIP Tattoo Care, we believe that everyone should have access to the information they need to make the best decisions for themselves. We provide detailed information about our numbing cream and its potential risks so that you can make an informed choice. Whether you decide to use our numbing cream or not, we are here to support you and ensure you have a positive tattoo experience.

Your comfort, safety, and the quality of your tattoo are our top priorities. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns about our products or the tattoo process. We're here to help you make the best decision for you.
