I don't think they can use any cream on the surface they will tattoo. It does hurt a bit and, as anything, depending on where on your body can hurt more or less. I really wanted mine and the bit of pain was totally worth it. My recommendation, bring some music or download a video. Will keep you distracted.
Getting tattooed doesn't hurt
I dunno, if you asking this, maybe not ready for tattoo. 🤣
