Why Triple-Compound Works Better for Tattoos
Most numbing creams use one ingredient. BLT uses three — each activating at a different speed so you stay numb from the first pass to the last line.
- Benzocaine (20% concentration)- Fast onset. Kicks in within minutes to start numbing the surface.
- Lidocaine (4% concentration)- Medium onset. Deepens the effect as the session progresses.
- Tetracaine (2% concentration)- Slow onset, longest lasting. Keeps numbing going through extended sessions.
How to Use Before a Tattoo Session
-
Clean
Clean the area thoroughly with soap and water and pat dry.
-
Mix
Apply a generous layer of cream to the tattoo area 30–45 minutes before your appointment.
-
Apply
Cover with plastic wrap to lock in warmth and improve absorption.
-
Procedure
Wipe the cream off completely before your artist begins. Confirm numbness. Reapply between passes on intact skin if needed.
Always check with your tattoo artist before applying numbing cream — some artists have preferences on timing and application method.

Common Questions About Tattoo Numbing Cream
Can I use BLT before my tattoo appointment?
Yes. Apply 30–45 minutes before your session and cover with plastic wrap. Wipe off completely before your artist starts. Always check with your artist first — some have preferences on timing.
Will numbing cream affect how the ink sits?
Some artists have preferences — confirm with yours before applying. BLT is widely used in professional tattoo settings and is formulated to minimize skin interference when applied and removed correctly.
How long does it last?
The numbing effect typically lasts 1–2 hours, peaking around the 60-minute mark. For longer sessions, it can be reapplied to intact (unbroken) skin between passes.
Do I need a prescription?
No. Because BLT is individually packaged at compliant concentrations, it’s available without a prescription.
What’s the difference between BLT and Neuromed Lidocaine?
BLT is a triple-compound formula (Benzocaine + Lidocaine + Tetracaine) designed for stronger, longer-lasting numbing — better suited for full tattoo sessions. The Neuromed Lidocaine cream is a single-compound formula ideal for shorter or smaller-area procedures.
Which size should I order?
The 5ml packets work well for most standard tattoo areas. For larger pieces like full sleeves, back work, or thighs, the 10ml packets give you more coverage without needing to open multiple packets.
I’m a tattoo artist — can I buy in bulk?
Yes. We sell boxes of 25 and 50 sets with significant per-set savings. Many tattoo studios stock BLT to recommend to clients ahead of appointments or sell directly at the front desk.
