A professional process butter from the Pro series by Tattoo Goo, in a 177 ml jar. It is designed for artists: applied to the skin before, during, and after tattooing as a lubricant that helps the needle glide, soothes the worked area, and forms a protective barrier. The formula is based on natural ingredients (shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and other skin nutrients), without petrolatum and lanolin, with a mango-coconut scent and a non-greasy feel.
What is "process butter" and how is it different from a tattoo aftercare cream?▾
It is a lubricant used primarily during tattooing: it helps the needle glide over the skin, keeps the skin hydrated, forms a protective barrier, and makes wiping away excess ink and plasma easier. According to the description, it can also be used before or after the procedure, but its main role is as a "glide" during work, not as a long-term healing treatment.
Does it contain petrolatum or lanolin?▾
No. The formula is based on natural ingredients — shea butter, beeswax, coconut oil, olive oil, rice bran oil, sunflower oil, rosemary extract, and tocopheryl acetate — without petrolatum and without lanolin, making it less greasy.
How do I use it hygienically in the studio?▾
Do not insert your glove or finger directly into the jar. Scoop out a portion with a clean, disposable spatula or tongue depressor, place it on a single-use surface, and work from there. This avoids cross-contamination between clients and keeps the jar clean.
How long does a 177 ml jar last?▾
It depends on how much you apply and the size of the work. Applied in a thin layer as recommended, a 177 ml jar lasts for many sessions, but there is no exact number — it varies from artist to artist.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?▾
It contains plant extracts, mango-coconut fragrance, and beeswax. Always check the full ingredient list and, for clients with sensitive skin or a history of allergies, do a patch test on a small area first. It is not a medical product.
How should I store it and does heat affect the consistency?▾
Store it at room temperature, away from direct heat sources and sunlight. Being a butter, it may soften in heat and harden in cold; it returns to normal consistency at room temperature.
