If you are dealing with a serious open wound, don't screw around with over the counter stuff. Go directly to emerg and have it dealt with properly.

If it is a cut or something minor, clean the cut with warm water and soap, put a clean bandage on it. It's a lot cheaper than the fifty dollars + they charge for one little tube.

What is a good numbing cream for tattoos and should you use one?

I found a good numbing cream for my tattooing sessions. The one I used helped. I found it to be effective and safe. Now I'm not worried about the pain in my tattoo sessions. I became confident about going at the tattoo shop. The numbing cream I contains 5% lidocaine the highest amount allowed by food and drug administration. It is a water-based numbing cream. Whatever numbing cream you might use, choose one that is medically tested.

Where can you get a numbing cream?

Why would you want numbing cream? Professional body piercers won't pierce tissue that has been treated with any form of numbing agent because it distorts and bloats the tissue. Go talk to your local professional body piercer before you do anything to tissue you want to get pierced. They know what they are doing and they do a good job at it, you need to learn to trust them.
