A lot of places won't tattoo you if you have numbing cream on, as the repeated needle punctures absorb more chemicals through the skin and theres a good chance that most of it will be washed off when they clean your skin anyway.

Theres a cream called EMLA that you can put on about 10 minutes before getting the tattoo done, its mainly used before getting injections or drips put in. CLICKY HERE

I know it might not work for a long session like a tattoo. But thats the only thing I can think of that could help.

I used emla cream for the tattoo on my wrists, worked amazingly, didnt feel a thing - wish id have used it for a few others of my tattoos as well haha. Its like 3 quid out the chemist, put the whole tube on the area where your getting it and cover with cling film, leave for an hour n it should work fine.

It doesnt work for some people tho, my friend used it on her back when she got her tattoo and it only worked in certain bits, still worth a try tho.

I've used Emla for injections etc so i know it works for me, dreading getting my sides done

My side was absolute agony but the fucker didnt do it right and i got scarification from it, its not the bad but it feels bumpy, just make sure you go somewhere half descent for it. Was told it shouldnt have hurt that much, and im gonna get my other side done - its worth the pain.
