  What’s helped you power through the painful parts of longer tattoo sessions?

  Need some advice from people who’ve actually sat for bigger tattoos. I’m getting a large thigh piece that is expected to take around five hours and I’m not looking forward to the last couple of hours. Previous sessions always get harder as time goes on and the numbing stuff I’ve used before just stops working. Looking for something reliable that lasts longer, is easy to apply, and won’t cause any skin issues afterward. UK delivery is important because my appointment is coming up soon. Anyone here found a cream that made a real difference on longer appointments? Did it help with shading areas or denser work? Any feedback from artists? Just looking for honest experiences — the good, the bad, and the “meh”. This is my first big piece and I want to be ready. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply.
