Thigh tattoo's and numbing cream

I'm due to get my thigh tattoo next month, it'll be my first tattoo so I have no idea what the pain is going to be like. I was talking to a girl at work and she told me that it would be best to get numbing cream due to it being a relatively big tattoo that will take a long sitting and the fact that it's on my thigh.
I'm not too sure about using numbing cream because I've heard it's not effective a lot of the time and it could make it more awkward for the tattoo artist.
So, my main question is. How badly will a thigh tattoo hurt? and has anyone got experiences with using numbing cream?

I had no intention of using numbing cream until it was brought up, I still don't really want to use it.
I'm just unsure of how painful the tattoo is going to be
I don't think you should use numbing cream and I honestly don't think you'll really need it. And even if it did hurt a tiny bit at certain points, it's so, so worth it. I want pictures when you've had it! :d
