Numbing
How long before the session should TAC go on?
Leave it on for 30 minutes for small areas, or 45 to 60 minutes for medium to large areas. Then wipe it off completely before the stencil goes on.
Can it be used during the session?
Yes. After the outline, rub small amounts into the skin throughout shading and color. On a workstation, apply it on top of a dental bib, not plastic wrap.
What about white ink?
Clean the tattoo, apply a thin layer of TAC, and wrap the area for 15 to 20 minutes. Then tattoo on top of the applied TAC.
Who formulated TAC numbing?
Our Tattoo Anesthetic Cream and Anesthetic Glide were formulated with a board-certified dermatologist and tested by industry-leading tattoo artists.
What is in the numbing cream?
The full ingredient list, warnings and directions are on the product page and the label. For external skin use only.
Aftercare
Which aftercare product do I use?
Use Tattoo Balm 2 to 3 times a day while your tattoo heals. Once it is fully healed, switch to Tattoo Hydration Butter daily to keep it soft and vibrant.
What is in the aftercare?
Balm is made with coconut, jojoba and sweet almond oils. Hydration Butter is made with shea butter, squalane and snow mushroom. Both were developed by our cosmetic chemist, with no petroleum, parabens or added fragrance.
