TKTX USA Application Steps

Use this TKTX USA checklist before your tattoo or cosmetic procedure.

Clean and exfoliate

Before application, the area must be free of body hair, make-up, moisturizer, fake tan, and must be adequately cleaned and exfoliated.

  • Exfoliating gloves are strongly recommended.
  • Body hair must be shaven before exfoliation.

Dry gently

After cleaning and exfoliating, gently dry the area with a clean towel to avoid irritation.

  • Avoid skincare products and sun exposure before application.

Apply the first layers

Apply the first layer generously, thoroughly massaging into the skin, then allow it to absorb for approximately 1–2 minutes. Repeat this step for maximum numbing effects.

Add a thick third layer

After the second layer, apply a third layer approximately 1–2 mm thick.

  • Use a very generous amount on the third layer — more product means stronger and longer numbing effects.

Cover with cling wrap

After applying the third layer, wrap the area in plastic cling wrap or film.

  • Cling wrap helps absorption and prevents the cream from drying out.
  • Keep cool and avoid sweating, because sweat can water the cream down.
  • Do not wrap yourself like a mummy; this can push cream into unwanted areas and reduce thickness where needed.

Wait 50–60 minutes

Leave the cling wrap over the cream for a minimum of 50–60 minutes before your appointment. It is fine to leave it longer for lengthy procedures or large areas.

  • Cover the full work area, then remove in sections as the procedure progresses.

Expected numb time

Numbing effects can last between 3–10 hours, depending on the amount applied, proper application, age, skin type, and other factors. Results may vary from person to person.
