Works great! I was a little worried from mixed reviews but after reading them all, I followed the recommendation of applying a thick layer 2 hours prior to tattoo appointment and wrapping in plastic wrap. I did it again 30 minutes before (an hour and a half after first application) and rewrapped it. Didn't feel much of a difference or numbness after the second application. Unwrapped it at appointment time, and felt a little numb. The artist got started late (about 30 mins, so 2.5 hours after original application and 1 hour after reapplication) and by the time needle hit skin I couldn't feel a thing. It was PHENOMENAL. It did wear off after about an hour to an hour and a half, but this was because of the late start. I took a break and reapplied. While it didn't numb it completely it wasn't unbearable. I drove about an hour home after and didn't feel a thing though and it's on the back of my thigh. I'd heard some artists don't like to use it because they're worried it affects the ink or application. Pictured above are initial stencil (after 2 applications), outline and a smidge of color (mid tattoo after 3rd application), and finished product. You can tell it doesn't negatively affect anything. Worth every penny, but timing is key. I will be buying this for all tattoos moving forward.

Love this stuff. Used one tube of it for a 6 hour tattoo on my sternum and then another tube on a 9 hour tattoo on my back and didn’t feel a thing. My tattoo artist said it was the best numbing cream she’s worked on as it didn’t make my skin red or puffy or react with the ink weirdly.

The cream worked well at first — I followed the instructions exactly and it definitely numbed the area effectively. However, the effect only lasted about an hour, which wasn’t quite long enough for my session. It’s great for shorter tattoos or touch-ups, but for longer work, you might need to reapply or find something longer lasting. Still, solid product for what it is. I'll use again.

It’s a small bottle of it but if you are looking to not feel your tattoo make sure you put a thicker layer on and make sure to apply is no sooner then a hour before you know they will start tattooing on you!! It’s worth it so get it!!

So I purchased this product because of the large amount of reviews that gave it 5 stars. I am perplexed as to how this product was rated more than 1 star by anyone. It DOES NOT WORK WELL. I purchased the product to assist in making getting my first tattoo close to pain free. For my first tat, it’s a large one. Despite putting the product on and using the saran wrap and waiting 50 minutes, then also reapplying it a second time for 40 minutes to ensure that it would take. When the artist began the tattoo, I felt the pressure of the needle and the vibrations but not much pain. But I thought that must be normal so I didn’t think anything of it. However, after about 20 minutes, the product wore off and I began to feel the needle and the puncturing of my skin. The pain level was about a 6 out of 10 for most of the tattoo. It was about 7 for the part of the tattoo that extends to the middle of my back. So, the pain was mostly moderate. However, this product is supposed to numb you for 4 hours according to the box. Complete lie. It somewhat numbs (not fully) you for about 20-25 minutes and then you are going to feel the needle. Overall, the product’s performance was substandard. A better numbing cream is tattoo Numbing cream co and it’s cheaper in price. Dr. Numb failed to provide the protection against pain that it was supposed to.

Nothing out there works better than dr numb! My husband is a tattoo artist so we have tried them all. When applied correctly , you will have a pain free tattoo session for about an 1 hour to 1 hour 1/2. If youre unsure on correct application, bring to your tattoo artist so they can apply!

The packaging is great, and it seems like this is the only one in the market with a 4.5-star rating, so I decided to give it a try even though it's much pricier. Honestly, the results are just okay. I don't really notice much difference compared to other brands with lidocaine as the main ingredient. I think the ratio of lidocaine is probably the same across the board, so I’d give it 4 stars. But considering the higher price, I’d rate it 3 stars instead. Thanks!

I used this because I almost fainted from the pain caused by microneedling. Yes I'm very sensitive to physical pain. I used this as a thick layer on the face and neck. Left it on for 50mins and did an amazing job. Will buy again.

Although on the expensive side it works better than other brands I’ve tried. I’d rather pay more than feel pain tbh😂

I wouldn’t recommend Recommend this product at all. It barely works. It’s not useful at all Doctor num more like Doctor nothing

20-30% pain relief for a tattoo job. Lower leg area including the back

Had my tattoo and applied it as per instruction and as per reviews but just reduced like 10-20% and after like 1 hour, no effect anymore.
