Tattoo Goo’s Pro Foam Soap Redefines Tattoo Cleansing for Artists Who Prioritize Skin Health
Working seamlessly with Pro Process Butter, Tattoo Goo supports skin from stencil to final wipe.
Tattoo Goo, a trusted name in tattoo aftercare for nearly three decades, is making waves in studio care once again. With the launch of Tattoo Goo Pro Foam Soap in August 2025, the brand introduces a smart, skin-forward cleansing solution built to meet the needs of today’s artists and their clients. Designed to complement TG Pro Process Butter, the new Foam Soap provides a gentle yet effective cleanse that supports both the tattoo process and immediate aftercare, cementing Tattoo Goo’s role as a go-to for artists who prioritize skin health and performance.
Built for professional use, Tattoo Goo Pro Foam Soap offers a deep, effective cleanse without compromising skin integrity. Crafted with low-irritation, plant based surfactants and skin conditioning ingredients, it helps calm and prep the skin to create the ideal surface for smooth, even ink application. Every detail was designed with both artist and client in mind: minimizing irritation, supporting a more efficient workflow, and enhancing overall comfort during the session. While it is not marketed as clean beauty, the thoughtfully crafted formula reflects a balance of efficacy and gentleness, prioritizing the skin’s health without sacrificing performance behind the needle.
A System Built on Experience and Innovation
The Foam Soap is the latest addition to Tattoo Goo’s professional system, which first expanded into studio care with TG Pro Process Butter. This 100 percent natural, petroleum free formula has been a favorite among artists for its smooth glide, reduced trauma, and all day workability. Tattoo Goo has been part of the industry since the late ’90s. If you have been around tattoos long enough, you have seen the green tin. Its science backed care continues to evolve with the needs of professionals.
TG Pro Process Butter delivers a controlled, stable consistency that keeps stencil clarity intact and allows artists to work uninterrupted with no clogging, greasy residue, or stained gloves. It reduces friction between the needle and the skin, calming irritation and redness as you work. Unlike petroleum based alternatives, it creates a breathable layer that protects the skin without clogging pores or leaving a heavy film.
As tattooer and industry voice Joey Tattoo explains:
“I love Tattoo Goo’s Process Butter for a couple reasons. The consistency is nice and smooth, not greasy like some products I’ve tried. It rubs in easily, keeping the skin moisturized and elastic. It also doesn’t melt too easily, so it keeps protecting the skin, making it easy to wipe away excess ink. And it smells great, which my customers and I love. Although it’s made for tattoo application, it’s also great as an aftercare product or even for dry skin conditions.”
Every ingredient in TG Pro Process Butter was intentionally selected to nourish, protect, and enhance the tattoo process. Shea Butter and Coconut Oil soften and condition the skin, improving elasticity. Olive and Rice Bran Oils add antioxidant rich hydration, while Beeswax helps the butter stay put under the machine. Mango Butter, Rosemary Extract, and Vitamin E contribute to skin recovery and moisture retention. The light, refreshing scent is an added bonus for both artists and clients.
From Session to Healing
While the Process Butter is designed for in session use, it can also be applied immediately afterward to soothe and hydrate the skin before switching to a structured aftercare routine. For continued healing, Tattoo Goo’s Tattoo Care Kit includes a gentle antimicrobial soap, protective balm, and hydrating lotion, giving both artists and clients a full spectrum recovery system.
Together, the new Pro Foam Soap and Pro Process Butter form a smart, skin supportive duo that gives artists a complete studio care routine from stencil prep to session to post tattoo cleansing. Whether it is a brand new tattoo or a touch up on a seasoned collector, Tattoo Goo’s professional products are crafted for performance and trusted by artists who take their craft and their clients’ skin seriously.
