Buying for a tattooer, or for someone about to sit for a long session, is easier when the gift matches how the appointment actually goes. Session prep is one lane. Aftercare is another. This guide sticks to what Hush carries right now.
If you'd rather browse and buy in one place, start on our tattoo aftercare gifts page.

Quick picks

- Hush Numbing Gel (2oz): session prep only
- Hush Aftercare Spray: aftercare only, never mid-session
- Hush CBD Tattoo Balm: a later aftercare step
- Gift card: when they should choose
Session Duo: Numbing Gel + Aftercare Spray
If you want one gift that covers both sides of an appointment, start with the Session Duo: Numbing Gel + Aftercare Spray. The set to grab is Gel 2oz + Spray 4oz. It pairs Hush Numbing Gel for session prep with Hush Aftercare Spray for after the appointment: two different jobs in one box.
Tell the recipient: the gel is for talking through with their artist before they sit; the spray is aftercare only, never for numbing during the session.
Hush Numbing Gel
Hush Numbing Gel is the session-prep product in the 2oz size. It's made with lidocaine (Lidocaine HCl 4%), it's epinephrine-free, and it contains menthol.
Gift note you can write on a card: “For your next appointment.”
Hush Aftercare Spray
Hush Aftercare Spray is daily aftercare, not a mid-session spray. It comes in 2oz and 4oz. It lists 4% lidocaine and is aftercare only, never for numbing during a tattoo.
If someone already owns gel and only needs the after step, this is the cleaner gift than another Duo. If they're brand new to Hush, the Duo usually makes more sense. Either way: aftercare only, so ask your artist.
Hush CBD Tattoo Balm
Hush CBD Tattoo Balm is the 3.8oz tub made with 500mg CBD. It belongs later in an aftercare routine after cleansing, for example after a wash step that may include CBD Foam Soap (100mg CBD) when the artist is fine with that cleanser. It's a routine companion, not a medical product.
Gift card
When you don't know their size preference, or whether their shop allows a specific prep product, send a Hush Anesthetic gift card. It comes in 25, 50, 75 and 100 denominations and works across Gel, Duo, Spray and Balm.
A 50 denomination also clears the free US shipping threshold on a qualifying retail order (Case (12) and wholesale excluded). That's often the simplest gift when an artist is picky about what clients bring into the booth.
How to choose in under a minute
- They have a date on the calendar: Session Duo, or Gel 2oz + Spray with the artist's input.
- They already own gel: Aftercare Spray or Hush CBD Tattoo Balm.
- You're not sure: gift card.
