Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So far I've used it for two 3.5 hour session on my large side tattoo. To give a little context, my tattoo is on my right side: goes from below my armpit to the top of my thigh, so it hits lots of rib, hip bone and a little on the back. This stuff works surprisingly well and I know I wouldn't be able to sit through the session without it. It does seem to wear off around the 2.5 - 3 hour mark and that's when you can really feel the difference. It doesn't wear off gradually, it's very sudden. Applying it is easy, but Hush doesn't start doing it's thing until you cover it with plastic wrap (I tried it without, and nothing happened). Once the plastic wrap is on you can feel a cold/hot sensation on the skin. Sometimes if feels a little itchy and uncomfortable, but then eventually you don't even notice it's on. I've used it twice on a very large section and I'm pretty sure I still have another 1-2 uses of it. It may be a small bottle but seems to be worth the money. The first time I used it, I applied it an hour before my appointment. It worked well. I could still feel the stab of the needle but it was beyond tolerable. Only problem I had with applying it was that I didn't know exactly how the tattoo was going to fall (since we were doing the outline), so not every place was covered. You can really feel the difference on spots that have the gel on and spots that do not. So, you know, be generous with it on your first appointment. For the second session we planned to do some block coloring, I applied it an hour and a half before my appointment. Got to the tattoo room and removed the wrapping before my artist was ready to get started.... not a great idea since I waited about 20 minutes. I essentially wasted 20 minutes of the product before it was go-time. It's not a huge deal, but if you want the maximum effect, you need to keep it covered until it's time. I'm not sure if leaving it on longer made a difference, but I figure it can't hurt!
