The
Lineup.
Signature Tattoo Numbing Cream
Kicks in fast. Locks deep. 6–8 hours of nothing — one application.
XL Signature Tattoo Numbing Cream
Triple the formula. Same 6–8hr block. Built for the long haul.
Studio Supply Programme

Pain is a signal.
We found the off switch.
The Only
Poisonous
Bird On Earth.
Scientists call the compound batrachotoxin. We call it inspiration. The Pitohui doesn't flinch. Neither should you.
Rainforest Depths
Exclusively in the lowland forests of New Guinea. Remote, untouched, unmatched.
Batrachotoxin
A steroidal alkaloid that blocks sodium channels — the same mechanism numbing agents are built on.
The OG Numbing Agent
Before TNC. Before any cream. Nature had already solved it. We just bottled the idea.
This Isn't a
Numbing Cream.
It's a Pain Architecture.
The Fast Strike
The Signature hits fast. Near-instant sensory shutdown at the surface — so by the time your artist picks up the needle, the first wave has already landed.
The Deep Lock
While the surface holds, the formula goes deeper — stabilising the block at the nerve junction where most creams lose the battle. This is where the hours are made.
The Long Hold
Deep-tissue numbing that doesn't fade. Outlasts the competition by hours, not minutes. This is what 6–8 hours feels like.
The Lock-Down
A vascular strategy that keeps the formula exactly where it was applied. Not flushed away. Held in place — for as long as the session runs.
Clinically Proven.
Battle Tested.
The result: 300% longer than the market standard. Lab confirmed. One application.
Built For The Chair.
The Pitohui is discovered
Scientists in New Guinea identify the Pitohui dichrous as the world's first known poisonous bird. Its feathers contain batrachotoxin — nature's original numbing agent.
TNC is founded
Tattoo Numbing Cream Co. launches in New Zealand with a single mission: make tattoos accessible to everyone, regardless of pain tolerance.
