The Good Slip by Good Guy is a tattoo glide designed as an alternative to regular petroleum jelly. It is made for professional tattoo artists who use a glide throughout the session and want something other than plain petroleum jelly at their station. It is offered in two sizes, so you can choose the format that matches the pace of your studio.

What you get

• 250 g — a compact format for a single station or for trying the product
• 800 g — a larger format for busy studios and artists who go through glide quickly

Artists apply a thin layer of glide to the area being tattooed before and during the session. A good glide reduces friction between the skin and the needle grouping and makes wiping excess ink and plasma easier, which keeps the work area clear. Because glide is used all day long, many artists keep the 800 g size at their station and the 250 g size in their kit for guest spots and conventions. The Good Slip fits alongside the cartridges, inks and skin-prep products you already buy at BNG.
