Anaesthetic laws state we are not allowed to supply anaesthetic. There are 2 options for you to choose from and purchase.

• Option 1: 2 types of anaesthetic are used during treatment. An initial ointment is used which is a mix of Lidocaine and Tetracaine which are made up at a compounding pharmacy. After the skin has been opened a fast acting anaesthetic gel is used to ensure there is little discomfort.

       You can order this by clicking below which will take you to an online              pharmacy. I recommend this option.

• Option 2: You can purchase standard over the counter numbing from your pharmacy which is only available in the pre numbing option and not as strong as the compound pharmacy option and you may experience discomfort.

• You will be provided aftercare instructions at your appointment. Please follow every step as it will affect how your tattoo heals.
