Why INKLY
Reduce pain with safe medical numb cream
Doctors and nurses at our partner clinic apply numb cream, for a reassuring experience even if you're anxious about discomfort (sensation varies by individual).
Q. How was the pain during the procedure? (post-procedure survey)
* Post-procedure survey at our studio (own research, 988 valid responses). The chart shows percentages recalculated using numb cream users as the denominator. Pain perception varies and results are not guaranteed.
Safe and hygienic environment in partnership with a medical clinic
In partnership with our clinic inklinic, we maintain a safe environment with thorough hygiene management.
Partnered with inklinic
We partner with inklinic (1F, same building) — a clinic specializing in ink procedures such as cosmetic tattooing and tattoo removal. Numb cream is used under doctor and nurse supervision, based on a doctor's judgment, in a thoroughly hygienic and safe environment.
- Numb cream consultation based on a doctor's judgment
- Safety managed by doctors and nurses
- Thorough hygiene management
