Designed with sensitive skin in mind, No Nonsense is paraben-free, fragrance-free, and trusted by tattoo professionals.
No stinging. No waiting. No Nonsense.
Why Choose Our Numbing Cream?
Works in as little as 30–60 minutes to numb the area before your session starts
Keeps you comfortable for hours, even during long tattoo sessions.
Trusted and recommended by professionals for consistent performance and safety.
FREE UK Standard Delivery on all orders – no minimum spend, no hidden fees!
Our numbing cream is made with skin-safe, dermatologist-tested ingredients, free from harsh chemicals and parabens—gentle on all skin types, even sensitive.
Tattoos without numbing cream can be extremely painful especially on sensitive areas like the ribs, spine, ankles, and inner arms.
The constant needlework can feel like intense scratching or burning, making long sessions physically and mentally exhausting.
Our numbing cream dulls the sting of the needle, helping you sit longer and stay more comfortable especially during large or sensitive tattoos.
It’s ideal for anyone with low pain tolerance or tattoo anxiety.
FAQ
How long before my tattoo appointment should I apply the cream?
Apply a generous layer of the numbing cream 45–60 minutes before your tattoo session, then cover the area with plastic wrap to maximize absorption
How long does the numbing effect last?
Depending on your skin type and the amount used, the numbing effect typically lasts between 4 to 6 hours. For longer sessions, you may need to reapply, but always consult your tattoo artist first.
Can I use the numbing cream for other procedures besides tattoos?
Yes! Our cream can also be used for piercings, laser hair removal, microblading, and other cosmetic procedures. Always follow proper usage instructions.

Made my wax appointment so much better!
I usually dread waxing because it hurts like crazy, but I tried No Nonsense Numbing Cream and it actually worked. I put it on before my appointment and waited a bit—and boom, barely any pain. Super glad I found this stuff. Total lifesaver. I usually dread waxing because it hurts like crazy, but I tried No Nonsense Numbing Cream and it actually worked....

I used No Nonsense Numbing Cream before my piercing, and honestly, I was shocked. It kicked in quick and numbed the area really well. I was nervous before, but this made it way easier.

I didn’t believe numbing creams could actually work—until this one.
I was skeptical at first because so many products overpromise and underdeliver. But No Nonsense Numbing Cream blew me away. I used it before my microblading session, and I literally didn’t feel a thing. No stinging, no weird sensation—just effective, long-lasting numbness. My artist even commented on how calm I was the whole time. This is now a must-have in my beauty routine. I was skeptical at first because so many products overpromise and underdeliver.

This cream lives up to the hype—no pain, no problem.
I’ve tried a few numbing products before for laser hair removal, and most were either too weak or irritated my skin. No Nonsense Numbing Cream was different from the start. It went on smooth, absorbed quickly, and within 20 minutes I was completely numb. The session that used to make me wince was finally tolerable—and my skin felt great afterward too. I’m genuinely impressed and won’t use anything else from now on. I’ve tried a few numbing products before for laser hair removal, and most were either too weak or irritated my...

No Nonsense Numbing Cream is a total game changer!
As someone with low pain tolerance, I was nervous about my first tattoo session. A friend recommended No Nonsense, and I’m so glad they did. I applied it beforehand just like the directions said, and I barely felt a thing during the whole appointment. No burning, no weird smell—just pure comfort. It kicked in fast and lasted way longer than I expected. Honestly, I wouldn’t get inked again without it. This stuff does exactly what the name promises—no frills, no fluff, just solid results.
