Used in conversations that are, usually, one sided attacks, on an off-guard, or unsuspecting (usually male) person, generally from their girlfriend, wife, woman, side-piece, or mistress, the term is used by the person that was on the receiving end of the attack, at the end of the conversation to signify their resignation towards the conversation. This term was first used circa 2000's when the UFC was gaining in popularity.
The phrase tap tap is the verbal form of tapping out in the sport of MMA. One may tap out due to punishment that cannot be adequately defended, or possibly against a training partner, and you let them complete the submission to give them confidence.
In the conversation the male is usually minding his business, engaged in some activity, or possibly even talking and listening to his female, providing her kind, loving, and helpful support, when she launches a vicious tirade upon him, regularly about nothing, and starts taking shit out on him, then after he has had enough and get irritated, speaks his mind about being attacked for no reason, and she is unable to explain herself, he may choose to conclude the conversation with, "Tap tap, I'm out." or "I'm good, tap tap."
This statement can be used to signify that one is withdrawing from the conversation and are tapping out from speaking any further, or it can signify that one is tapping out from that conversation and all future conversations (tapping out from the relationship altogether)

Her (Amy): "I was asked to do Gina's job for her! she was on the phone, and talking with guys, instead of doing her job, so *I* get punished?"
Him (Bob): "Emotional support, or a solutions conversation babe?"
Her: "Both"
Him: "You're right that is bullshit, they are lucky to have you. Maybe tell the boss what she's doing?"
Her: "Now it's my responsibility to have to talk to the boss about HER?! You really think THAT'S fair Bob?! Just like you Bob! You're siding with her because you think she is hot, huh?!"
Him:*Confused sigh and shoulder shrug* "Amy, I don't know Gina. You shouldn't have to talk about issues of others to the boss, but that is the situation that you are in, and you wanted possible solutions."
Her: "So, which is it then Bob? Do I tell the boss that she is screwing around at work, or should I just do her job for her then, since you 'Haven't even met'?"
Him: "Enough, you're attacking me, I've been supportive to you, why are you taking it out on me?"
Her: "Just like you Bob, always making everything about you, I'm not attacking you, when did I 'attack' you?!"
Him: "You're being overtly rude and sarcastic to the solution that I gave. When you implied that I would side with her over you, when we have been together, for what now feels like too many years now."
Her: *Starting to cry* "Now you are saying that we have been together too long. You are always so mean and rude all the time! I can't live like this anymore!"
Him: "Okay, I'm good, tap tap. I'm out."
