OUR STORY

Australian built, artist led, backed by science.

“As a tattooer, I was frustrated with poor quality glides and aftercare. We set out to change this space for the better, using decades of tattooing knowledge and expertise to craft a beautiful range of products that gives the skin and artwork the care it deserves”

Jade Baxter - Founder

We’re here to make

tattoo care feel iconic.

Not a niche. Not an afterthought. A new standard in conscious, design-led
skincare — made for every story written on skin.

OUR STORY

Bamboogoo began where most good things do - in conversation, between artists, in studios, and in that sacred space between ink and healing.

We weren’t trying to build a brand. We were just trying to find a balm that made sense - one that felt good, worked hard, and respected the skin it touched - but nothing did - so we made our own.

From the start, bamboo led the way. Strong but gentle, rounded yet regenerative. It quickly became more than an ingredient, it became our mindset.

Bamboogoo isn’t solely about aftercare. It’s about care, full stop. For the skin, the story, and the self underneath.

We’re here for the ones who treat tattooing as a craft, healing as a ritual, and skincare as a daily act of respect.

This is where you come to feel seen, supported, and soothed.

Australian made. Artist-led. An Iconic Ritual.
