Ebanel 5% Lidocaine Topical Numbing Cream for Painkilling, 4.38oz Max Strength Pain Relief Cream Ointment Anesthetic Gel with Liposomal for Sections, Hemorrhoid, Local and Anorectal Discomfort

Effective if applied like a a shaving foam. Keep for 2 hours and it will be effective for 1 hour. Though price is too high for such small jar.

Omg !! This actually works !! I used it for two tattoos … please put a healthy layer on and wrap it up for a lil over an hour before your session… best thing EVER .. no cap’n over here

ok so this stuff is weird. i've had it numb me completely in some places and i've had it not work at all in others. i have bought it 7 times so i do like it but you have to use A LOT the whole bottle for a medium size tattoo. luckily my artist is a speed tattooist it's crazy how fast she is and the work is amazing. 1. use the whole jar 2. wrap in plastic wrap tape it up so it won't leak out 3.very important give it 3 good hours before you get tattooed. it worked great on all my leg tattoos (i'm heavily tattooed about 50% of my body is inked) it did not work at all under my chin and jaw line area at all unfortunately because it hurt so bad. i use this stuff every time i go which is once a month if it works great if not oh well. i hate getting tattooed but looking at me you'd think i love the way they feel while being applied. lol so id day if your going for an easy non painful spot this stuff is great it doesn't last that long though like an hour and a half to two hours IT MUST be wiped off before tattooing. so get that stencil on and start ASAP. yes i know i'm a huge wimp lol the coffin cat i did not feel a thing it's fairly large on my outer thick thigh. nor the others around it. like i said it's the best your gonna get on amazon i've tried like 10 different brands. if your new to getting ink i'd definitely recommend it or if you just are a wuss with a low pain tolerance like myself it's worth it but not for a huge piece. i'll answer any questions you have :) good luck with your tattooing experience!

I put the cream on thick enough to stay wet texture, covered and wrapped with plastic wrap and let it sit for 2 hrs. I wiped off excess that was still wet. When wiping you can tell immediately the area was numb. I stayed numb going on 4 hours so far. Size of product is good for the price because it works. Its very easy to use. And I rate it AAA+++ effective. I highly recommend it for anyone with pain issues or tattooing. Very good brand.

Works well. Did the job but wears off fairly quickly.

I underwent a double mastectomy a couple of years ago and am now having a scar cover up tattoo done. With over 15 inches of scarring you can imagine it's a rather large tattoo (love it but it is big. Anyway, the first session was horrible and after 3 hours my fingers were curled and I couldn't move them then went home and slept for 7 hours afterwards. I decided after that experience that I either didn't want to finish the tattoo or to find something to numb the pain and since I loved my design I opted to find something to help with pain management and after some research decided to give Numb 520 a go.... I couldn't have asked for a better experience!!!! I slathered it on a half hour before my tattooing appointment (forgot to take saran wrap with me so just hoped my shirt didn't rub it off - and it worked like a charm. For the most part I didn't feel anything but the vibrations of the tattoo gun except for a couple areas where my shirt had rubbed off the cream (shoulder bones and fatty area near underarms - where side boob would be). Where the tattooing was the worst during the first session (middle of my chest - boney area with not much meat) was even numbed so I was extremely happy with my experience. Even my tattoo artist commented that it was a totally different experience this time and she could tell how relaxed I was. LOL The artist, one of the other artists and the tattoo shop owner took note of the product - it's that good! I had a 4 1/2 hour session and could have easily gone even longer but my husband needed a few hours sleep before he had to go back to work so we opted to leave the color for my next appointment - which I'm now looking forward to instead of dreading.! My husband says I cheated, I say, why suffer when you don't have to?
