Ebanel 5% Lidocaine Numbing Cream

I used this for a sternum/under breast/stomach tattoo and IT WORKS! I started by taking a hot shower, exfoliating and shaving the entire area. Then I applied the cream in a thick layer (1/2 bottle, no rubbing in) across the area I’ll be getting my tattoo, plus a little extra coverage on all sides. Then I wrapped the entire area in plastic wrap. I let this sit for one hour. Then I reapplied the cream in a thick layer (remainder of bottle, no rubbing in) and covered it again with plastic wrap. I left this on until I got to the shop (about an hour and a half). It was cleaned off in the shop. We quickly started and I couldn’t feel a single thing! The numbness lasted THREE hours of my 4.5 hour piece. The last 1.5 hours was brutal because I could feel everything at this point but it was manageable. I wouldn’t have been able to get this piece without this cream. I will be using in future for other tattoos. 10/10 recommend!
