TKTX Numbing Gel for Mid-Session Use
Numbing cream does the heavy lifting before your appointment, but on a long session the effect can start to fade. That is where TKTX Numbing Gel comes in. Your artist applies it to the skin that has already been worked on, and within about 5 minutes the area feels comfortable again.
The new formula is 40% stronger than our previous mid-session gel and can last up to 4 hours, which makes it a favourite for sleeves, back pieces and detailed realism work.
Key facts
- Size: 30ml
- For use on broken skin only, during the session
- Use after TKTX or The Beast numbing cream
- Starts working in around 5 minutes

Quick answers
When should the gel be applied?
Once the skin is open, usually when the numbing from the cream starts to wear off. Your artist will know when.
Can I use it instead of numbing cream?
No. The gel is designed to follow a numbing cream, not replace it.

I used this Friday for a full colour Japanese tiger tattoo using tktx gold numbing cream initially then part way through applying this mid procedure numbing gel cling film and waiting 15 minutes then I didn’t feel anything but the vibration for the next few hours and my arm was still numb a few hours after the tattoo was complete , I’ll definitely be using this from now on

Worked brilliantly for my forearm piece. The numbing lasted long enough to get through most of the session comfortably. Would use again

First tattoo for my son he sat all way through it with very little discomfort just the top part but think I didn’t put it up far enough would use again . Even tattooists commented how well he had sat for his first tattoo he has autism and really bad anxiety .
