01
Clean and prepare the skin
Wash the area with mild soap and water, then dry it completely. Clean, dry skin helps the cream remain in place and provides a more even application across the area.

Made for a more comfortable session
Every tattoo session is different. TKTX is available in a choice of variants and strengths, helping you select the most suitable option for the size, placement and expected length of your appointment.
Simple preparation before your appointment
Proper preparation helps you apply the cream evenly and keep it in place throughout the recommended application period.
01
Wash the area with mild soap and water, then dry it completely. Clean, dry skin helps the cream remain in place and provides a more even application across the area.
02
Spread the cream evenly over the required area without rubbing it in completely. Cover the area with plastic wrap to help keep the cream moist and prevent it from drying too quickly.
03
Leave the cream on for the period stated on the product instructions. This is commonly around 60–90 minutes. Remove the cream completely before the tattoo, PMU or cosmetic procedure begins.
