Customer photo review of Comfort Cream — Pre-Session Skin Prep

Got these on my hips and was legitimately shocked when my artist started tattooing. I chose not to use plastic wrap & left it on for 60 mins and was numb for probably 6 hours or more. Will buy again and again and again. Loved this.

Customer video review of 1.69 oz 50ML Comfort Cream Natural Effective

Hello, My name is Melissa Santiago, I am the owner of Matriix.Ink Tattoos in Groton, Ct. I stumbled across your numbing cream at the New England Tattoo Expo in Mohegan Sun Casino and I couldnt wait to try it out. My first thought was loving the fact that its all natural and plant ingredients, I am someone with sensitive ksin so that always helps me alot when looking to spread the word about products. I tested it out first on myself and with a clients back piece for 5 hours and we both love it! I am a happy customer and am now showcasing it inside our shop ! Our clients are super happy too ,Thank You Painless Picasso!

Mind blowing! Followed directions. Left it on for an hour. Artist removed cover and wiped off. Was a good 3hours of TOTAL COMFORT, after 3 you could definitely tell when it wore off.

Used it for a couple of the more tender spots. Loved it. And so did my artist. Said it didn't make tattooing harder like other numbing creams

Posterior knee tattie on a tender gal, she didn't feel anything until 90min in! Then with a spritz she was back to the OG "just feeling vibration" state. Thank you

As we were working on some upper arm tattoos, we wrapped both of her elbows for the hour, she was so surprised that she didnt feel a thing!!!! I also tried this product on another client and same result! Absolutely numb!!! So grateful to an even better company that "PT" with affordable numbing!

I used Painless Picasso to get my first tattoo, as I’m terrified of needles and not a big fan of pain neither, it worked so well I’m already planning for my second tattoo, highly recommend this product. Used the cream and a lidocaine patch on top of it for an hour, worked very well and I’ll be using it for any and all future tattoos !

Doing my full back right now at the shop and my artist is using this spray. Wow. Amazing. Softens the blow from the impact and definitely absorbs any pain and make this more tolerable. I’m doing a full body suit and the back is just going smooth so far. Amazing. And y’all from Brooklyn my ol stompin grounds. Gotta show support !

Store owner replied: Full body suit—that’s dedication! We’re honored to be part of the process. Thank you for the Brooklyn love and support.

In progress leg sleeve. I couldn’t do it without painless Picasso, it’s that simple. I tell everyone about it.

1.69 oz 50ML Comfort Cream Natural Effective

Store owner replied: Love hearing this! Big respect for tackling a leg sleeve, and we appreciate you sharing Painless Picasso with others.

Customer video review of 1.69 oz 50ML Numbing Cream Natural Effective

Loved the product! As a tattoo artist, I strive to give my clients the best experience, and this ointment was by far the best I’ve tried. My client just chilled out while getting tattooed and even napped. It didn’t alter the skin or make it difficult to tattoo. Highly recommended!

1.69 oz 50ML Numbing Cream Natural Effective

Store owner replied: Love hearing this—thank you for trusting Painless Picasso in your shop. We’re honored to support both you and your clients.

Have the comfort cream while getting tattooed during this session and just some of the fun at the shop we have!

Never recieved my order due to USPs with following up a few times i was able to get a refund. I love this products just an unfortunate situation with expedited shipping

1.69 oz 50ML Comfort Cream Natural Effective

Thank you for the great product and for your excellent support. Even though I had a delivery issue, you were very attentive, responded quickly to my messages, and solved everything. I really appreciate it! Best regards

1.69 oz 50ML Comfort Cream Natural Effective

Delivered on time and product did what it was supposed to do! I didn't feel much of anything when I got my tattoo done. I'd def order this product again.

1.69 oz 50ML Comfort Cream Natural Effective

Some numbing but I don’t feel like it made too much difference. Applied a thick layer 1hr before tattoo appointment. Still hurt pretty bad
