Three weeks ago, I started this large tattoo on my stomach. Just the outlining took 4+ hours. I came so close to "tapping-out" many times. But I pushed on. At 4 hours and 15 minutes the pain was totally unbearable and I finally Tapped Out. The outline was complete and one little bit of shading was started. When I got home I said to myself, " there's got to be a better way quotation marks". So I started my research on numbing creams. There are many products out there that are name brands, that tattoo places use. Most of them are the same containing up to 5% lidocaine. I read all the reviews on multiple products then went to Amazon Prime to see if I could find any one or two of those products for a lesser price for they can be rather expensive. Most of these products had great reviews but there was one that stood out with over 240 reviews most of which were 5 Star reviews. Then I came across this one product called Uber numb and the reviews were outstanding. The reviews of uber numb came highly recommended. Many of the reviews compared to Burnham to some of the other products that people have used in the past, and that is what I based my decision on and decided to choose Uber numb.

I applied Uber numb over the whole entire outline on my stomach approximately one hour prior to the tattoo artist starting the second session. 15 minutes prior to him actually putting needles to my skin I applied a second coding to the lower area on my stomach. The second session was two and a half hours with one small break.

Uber numb made this session very comfortable. This topical cream is totally awesome for tattooing in areas that are very sensitive and painful. Not once did I tense up or complain about pain and my breathing was totally relaxed during that two and a half hours. Because of this my artist was able to do approximately 3 + hours of work in just two and a half hours. Not only am I totally sold on this product but so is my artist and the artists he works alongside with. All of them said they will be ordering this product, and will present it to their customers with an extra fee for an almost painless tattoo session. This product took an extreme painful tattoo session into a comfortable session. I will be using this product every time I go in for a tattoo especially for sensitive areas. I highly recommend this product to anyone that is going to receive a tattoo and wants to remain comfortable during their session.
