Yes, I had a very good experience with Bactine. It was on the most painful tattoo I've ever had (top of the chest) and it made a world of difference.

I’ve used bactine and vasocaine sprays, also emla cream when my nipples/belly button were done - there’s also something that is hard to get in the UK but is available in the US (so should work for you iirc). I’ll see if I can dig out the name
No issues with healing, though many artists are not keen on emla cream in particular as it makes the skin spongy or something
Vasocaine is good until it wears off, then it’s just worse than without

Did you sleep well the night before/were you hungover?
I also found that the older I get the more painful tattoos become. I had one done that's goes from shin just over the curve into foot, and when it was on the foot I found it close to unbearable. I was super hungover though I chalked it up to that. I now think my teenage self had a far higher pain tolerance than my current late 30s self though. Now they all really hurt no matter where they are. -
I used cream from horikitsune tattoo for shading on my back, crazy stuff, good for 2 hours.
Lots of tattooists I know use the same stuff, heard something about his dad being an anaesthetist idk.
He has a shop on Copenhagen street, or you can order it here.

Looking forward to see this finished!

Does anyone have positive experiences with numbing cream? I had my stomach lined yesterday and it was the most uncomfortable and frankly painful 2 hrs of my entire life. I do not wish to go through that again when having shading and colour done. I thought I'd be able to finish the whole thing seeing as I had a very large back tattoo done in one hit ten years ago - boy was I wrong. Ha. Was a huge shock considering I have tattoos everywhere else on my body - other than my knees and ribs.
