Description
TKTX Gold 80% Numbing Cream
TKTX Gold 80% is the cream we recommend most when someone asks which TKTX to start with. It numbs deeply, it lasts, and the water-based texture is easy for your artist to work around.
Gold is a step up from the classic TKTX Black and Green. It is made for tattoos, permanent makeup, microneedling, laser, waxing and IPL, and it is enriched with aloe vera and vitamin E so the skin stays soft and hydrated.
What you get
- Deep, long-lasting TKTX formula
- Water-based and non-greasy, so it will not affect the ink
- With aloe vera and vitamin E
- Hologram seal to prove it is genuine
- Pack size: 1 x 10g tube
How to apply it
- Wash the area with mild soap and warm water, then pat it completely dry.
- Spread a thick layer of cream over the area. You want it to sit on the skin, not be rubbed in.
- Cover it with cling film and leave it for 45 to 60 minutes.
- Wipe all the cream off just before your artist starts.
Tip: skip coffee, energy drinks and alcohol before your appointment. Caffeine in particular can make numbing creams work less well.
Before you use it
- Do a patch test on a small area 24 hours before you use it.
- Tell your artist or practitioner that you are using a numbing cream.
- Do not use it for more than 3 days in a row.
- Do not mix it with another numbing cream on the same area.
- For external cosmetic use only. Keep away from eyes.
- Not suitable during pregnancy or for children. If you take other medication, check with your GP first.
- Store between 0°C and 30°C and close the lid tightly after use, or the cream can dry out.
Quick answers
How long does TKTX Gold 80% take to work?
Leave it on under cling film for 45 to 60 minutes. Most people feel the numbing for around 3 to 5 hours, and some for longer. It depends on your skin and the area.
Is TKTX Gold 80% good for long tattoo sessions?
Yes, it is one of the most popular choices for longer sittings. For sessions over a few hours, many artists add the TKTX numbing gel once the skin is open.
Is it the real TKTX?
Yes. Every tube we send is genuine TKTX with the hologram seal, shipped from our UK stock.

Worth every penny! I was sceptical about this but seeing so many good reviews, I went ahead and I’m so glad I did. Hands down I wouldn’t have been able to get my stomach tattooed without this stuff.

Absolutely fantastic, I used the yellow 80% deep numbing cream for my bicep tattoo. This worked a treat as I felt very little pain for the duration of the tattoo.

This is an amazing product, will definitely buy again. I used numbing cream before that didn’t work but this lasted for hours. I didn’t finish the tattoo because I was tired of sitting, that’s it. I followed the instructions shaved my arm cleaned with light soap, pat dry, applied a thick layer of the cream, I mean thick! wrap it with plastic rap tight and it stayed on for almost 2 hrs before my tattoo. No skin irritation I sat through the whole thing for 6 hours with no pain.
