Do you recommend numbing cream?

Numbing cream makes the skin rubbery.

My works usually consist of fine details and it can be more difficult to tattoo. I do not recommend it but if you must do so then I won’t stop you. Just keep in mind that numbing cream might have effects on how the tattoo will heal. As there are finer details on my work, those details might fade. Feel free to split your session if you know you won’t be able to sit for longer hours.
