Our Mission: Tattoo Care with Impact


Gentle Care, Vibrant Tattoos, Smoother Healing

 

 

The New Standard for Tattoo Aftercare.

Tattoo healing has always been a bit of a grind, the itchiness, the dryness, the trial-and-error with soaps that were never actually made for tattoos.

That never sat right with us.

The Collector's Realization

The journey started in New Braunfels, Texas. Our founder, Colby Colquitt—a dedicated tattoo collector and aftercare obsessive—realized that no one had truly solved a fundamental problem: there wasn't a high-quality bar soap created specifically to care for tattoos. So, he went to work, testing formula after formula until he crafted the perfect one—gentle enough for fresh ink, but powerful enough to calm the skin and make the entire process smoother. That formula became the original Banger Bar, and it changed the game for collectors.

 

The Artist's Shift

The second realization, and the one that truly defined our mission, came from the artists themselves. Shops started asking for our bars in bulk to hand to their clients. It became clear that the real gap in the market wasn't just on the collector's shelf, but on the artist's station. There was no professional-grade product that an artist could confidently send their clients home with.

That’s when we shifted our focus. We knew that to truly support the industry, we had to start with the artists who make it thrive. We developed our Banger Bars in bulk and created our Certified Banger Aftercare Kits to give professionals a complete, reliable system that matched the quality of their art.

 

More Than a Product: A Movement

Today, Banger Tattoo Care is more than just a product line—it’s our commitment to the tattoo community. We are an artist-first brand, dedicated to creating tools that protect your work and elevate your craft. We're here to celebrate every victory in tattooing: graduating an apprenticeship, opening new doors, hosting a flash event for a cause, and every milestone in between.

Our mission is simple: Tattoo Care with Impact. Through our products, our actions, and our support for the community, we’re setting the new standard for aftercare.

The Banger Promise: No Compromises.

Our mission informs everything we do, right down to the formula of every bar. We built our entire line on a foundation of trust, transparency, and a commitment to quality.

Every Bar We Make is Always:

  • 100% Fragrance-Free: No added perfumes or masking agents to irritate fresh ink.

  • Free of Harsh Chemicals: Absolutely no sulfates, parabens, added dyes, or hardeners.

  • Vegan & Cruelty-Free: Plant-based formulas that are never tested on animals.

  • Hypoallergenic & Gentle: Designed for all skin types, including the most sensitive.

  • Clean-Rinsing: Leaves no soapy residue behind, just clean, calm skin.

For Tattoo Collectors

  • Our soaps are specifically formulated with natural, fragrance-free ingredients to gently cleanse and nourish tattooed skin. Unlike generic commercial soaps that can be harsh and drying, Banger Bars are designed to support a comfortable aftercare experience and help maintain the vibrancy of your ink.

  • No, and that's by design. Harsh antibacterial soaps can strip the skin’s natural microbiome, leading to dryness and irritation. Our bars use the gentle, natural properties of ingredients like sea buckthorn and shea butter to effectively cleanse away impurities without disrupting your skin's balance. We make soap for tattoos, not for hospitals.

  • Absolutely. All our soaps are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and made with ethically sourced ingredients

  • Yes. Our bars are hypoallergenic, paraben-free, and contain no added fragrances, making them gentle enough for all skin types, especially sensitive skin.

For Tattoo Collectors

  • You can begin using our soap right after you remove the initial wrapping, typically the first night. Always follow your tattoo artist's specific instructions first. Use lukewarm water and only your hand to gently wash the area.

  • You should gently cleanse your new tattoo at least once or twice daily, or as recommended by your artist. Avoid fully submerging the tattoo in water (like in baths or pools) for the first two weeks
