# Pegasus Pro ## Facts | | | |---|---| | Founded | 1996 | | Origin | Germany | | Headquarters | Tübingen | | Status | Active | | Manufacturing | Germany | | Distribution | Salon & professional | | Website | https://www.pegasuspro.de/de/ | Pegasus Pro is a German brand of aftercare products for tattoos and piercings, the own brand of Pegasus Pro GmbH, a small company based in Tübingen. The company dates its production of tattoo and piercing care products to 1996 [1], while the limited company that carries the name today was entered in the commercial register in 2006 [7]. The range under its own name is compact: a tattoo cream, a tattoo butter, a panthenol cream and a cleansing solution for pierced skin, sold in several pack sizes. The brand is only one half of the business. Pegasus Pro GmbH also runs a trade-only wholesale shop that supplies tattoo and piercing studios with inks, needles, gloves, disinfectants and other equipment from outside manufacturers. This dual role, as maker of its own care products and as supplier to tattoo and piercing studios, shapes how the brand reaches its customers. ## Origin & founders Little has been published about how Pegasus Pro began. The company's German homepage opens with the statement that it has been producing products for the after-treatment and care of tattoos and piercings since 1996, and the phrase "Quality since 1996" appears on its English-language site as well. No public source names the people who started the business, and the company does not tell a founding story of its own. The legal history is clearer. According to business-register data, Pegasus Pro GmbH was registered at the district court of Stuttgart on 19 December 2006, with its seat at the time in Tübingen. The two dates are not necessarily in conflict. The earlier one is the year the company gives for its first products; the later one marks the registration of the present limited company. Neither the company nor the register explains how the two are related. The register describes the company's purpose as the production and distribution of products for skin art and of supplies for studios [7]. That wording matches what the business does today: it makes aftercare products and it sells the tools of the tattoo and piercing trade. ## Ownership Pegasus Pro is an independent company. No parent group or corporate owner has been identified, and no acquisitions involving the brand are known. Business-register data list two active shareholders, whose names are not publicly listed [7]. The company's legal notice names Luis Weiss and Marco Himmelstein as the persons responsible for Pegasus Pro GmbH. Business-register listings show both men as managing directors. Neither is described anywhere as a founder of the brand. Sources differ on where exactly the company is based. The legal notice on the company website gives its address as Unter dem Holz 27 in Tübingen [3]. The commercial register, by contrast, lists the registered seat of the company in Rottenburg am Neckar, while also recording the Tübingen address [7]. The Tübingen address is the one the company uses in its own communications, and this article follows it. ## Philosophy & positioning The company's German-language tagline says that since 1996 it has worked to give "ein gutes und sicheres Gefühl auf der Haut", which the English site renders as a good and safe feeling on the skin. Beyond that line, Pegasus Pro publishes no mission statement or set of brand values. Two points recur. The first is German manufacture: the homepage presents the range as "Nachsorge Made in Germany", aftercare made in Germany [1]. The second is regulation. The company says its care products are made by a certified manufacturer in line with the European Cosmetics Regulation [1], the EU's rulebook for cosmetic products. The wording leaves open whether this is an outside contract manufacturer or the company's own facility. The brand is aimed first at professionals. Pegasus Pro's online shop states that its offer is for business customers only, and a valid trade licence is needed before a customer account is activated [2]. The shop ships worldwide. The trade channel is not the only one. On the company's own product pages, several items carry PZN numbers, the article codes used in German pharmacies [5], which points to pharmacy distribution alongside sales to studios. The wholesale side of the business is broad. The shop's categories cover tattoo supplies, piercing supplies, studio supplies, disinfection and wound care. Tattoo inks sit alongside needle cartridges, tattoo machines, stencil materials, gloves, sterilisation products and infection-protection supplies. The company notes on its homepage that it also stocks products from other suppliers, and it offers to source items that are not listed. Among recent additions, the shop highlights inks from World Famous Ink's Limitless line, which it describes as EU REACH-compliant. A small "Eco & Öko" section groups studio consumables with an environmental angle. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company's website carried a news section aimed at studios, with posts on studio closures and on support measures from health insurers and the government [6]. ## Products & innovation The Pegasus Pro range consists of four products, each offered in two sizes. **Tattoo-Creme.** The company calls its tattoo cream "Der Klassiker", the classic, and describes it as proven millions of times. It is sold in 25 ml and 500 ml sizes. The company says the cream offers protection and helps the skin heal itself. A published ingredient list names yellow petrolatum, native wheat germ oil, cajeput oil and dexpanthenol as its active ingredients, with denatured alcohol, spearmint oil, geraniol, limonene and linalool as auxiliary ingredients [8]. In a 2022 user review on the German product-testing community Pinkmelon, the reviewer compared its texture to Vaseline, though lighter and less greasy. **Tattoo-Butter.** The tattoo butter, sold in 30 ml and 250 ml sizes, is built around beta-glucan, which the company describes as a potent plant-derived ingredient with anti-inflammatory properties. Pegasus Pro states that the butter is vegan and free from mineral oils [4]. Both claims are made for this product specifically; the mineral-oil-free claim does not extend to the petrolatum-based tattoo cream. **Pega Panthenol Creme.** This cream comes in 30 ml and 75 ml tubes. The company describes it as having a very soft texture and containing moisturising and skin-soothing ingredients. **Pega-Care.** The only product in the range made for piercings, Pega-Care is a water-based solution for cleaning and caring for pierced skin and areas of mucous membrane. It is sold as a 20 ml bottle with a dropper and as a 75 ml spray. The company says the solution has been dermatologically tested [4]. No proprietary technologies, patents or research partnerships have been announced for the range. ## Current status Pegasus Pro is active. Its trade webshop is live, with a copyright notice for 2026 and a list of newest products, and the company continues to supply tattoo and piercing studios from Tübingen. The brand's own aftercare range remains limited to the four products described above. ## Timeline {#belagg-timeline} | Year | Event | Source | |---|---|---| | 1996 | Start of production of tattoo and piercing aftercare products (brand's own dating). | https://www.pegasuspro.de/de/ | | 2006 | Pegasus Pro GmbH registered (Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 382003), seat Tübingen, first managing director Wolfgang Weiss (tier 4). | https://www.northdata.com/Pegasus%20Pro%20GmbH,%20Rottenburg%20a%C2%B7%20Neckar/Amtsgericht%20Stuttgart%20HRB%20382003 | | 2013 | Registered seat moved to Rottenburg am Neckar (tier 4). | https://www.northdata.com/Pegasus%20Pro%20GmbH,%20Rottenburg%20a%C2%B7%20Neckar/Amtsgericht%20Stuttgart%20HRB%20382003 | | 2019 | Luis Vincent Weiß registered as managing director (tier 4). | https://www.northdata.com/Pegasus%20Pro%20GmbH,%20Rottenburg%20a%C2%B7%20Neckar/Amtsgericht%20Stuttgart%20HRB%20382003 | | 2021 | Word/figurative trademark 'Pegasus Pro' listed (tier 4). | https://www.northdata.com/Pegasus%20Pro%20GmbH,%20Rottenburg%20a%C2%B7%20Neckar/Amtsgericht%20Stuttgart%20HRB%20382003 | | 2022 | Marco Himmelstein registered as managing director; Wolfgang Weiss no longer managing director (tier 4). | https://www.northdata.com/Pegasus%20Pro%20GmbH,%20Rottenburg%20a%C2%B7%20Neckar/Amtsgericht%20Stuttgart%20HRB%20382003 | | 2025 | Address change and new shareholder agreement published (tier 4); current Impressum address is Tübingen. | https://www.northdata.com/Pegasus%20Pro%20GmbH,%20Rottenburg%20a%C2%B7%20Neckar/Amtsgericht%20Stuttgart%20HRB%20382003 | ## Certifications {#belagg-certifications} - **PETA Animal Test-Free** — Listed in PETA's programme for animal test-free cosmetics — “PETA vegan & cruelty free zertifiziert.” — https://www.pinkmelon.de/test/pflege-2/body/spezialpflege-7/pegasus-pro-tattoo-creme.html ## Signature products {#belagg-products} - **Pegasus Pro Tattoo-Creme (25 ml, 500 ml)** — Der Klassiker!
