Tattoo Green Soap is one of the most important tools a tattoo artist uses—but what is it for, and why is it so essential? Read on to discover everything you need to know about Tattoo Green Soap!

What is Tattoo Green Soap?

Green soap is a water-soluble, vegetable oil-based soap commonly used in tattoo and piercing studios. Unlike traditional soaps, it is plant-based and eco-friendly. Tattoo artists dilute green soap with water in a spray bottle, allowing them to apply it to the client’s skin without direct contact, ensuring a hygienic process.

The Magnum Tattoo Supplies Antibacterial Green Soap is enriched with Aloe vera, naturally soothing the skin.

Green soap gets its name from its green tint, which comes from glycerine and vegetable oils, not dyes.

How is it Used?

Green soap is used before, during, and after tattooing:

• Before tattooing: The skin is sprayed with green soap, wiped with disposable paper towels, and shaved to prevent ingrown hairs and prepare for stencil transfer.
• During tattooing: Green soap is used to clean away blood and excess ink, keeping the area sanitized.
• After tattooing: The skin is wiped clean again before applying a bandage, which should remain on for several hours or until returning home.

Be Cautious

Always use green soap carefully. Cross-contamination can transmit diseases like hepatitis C. Never let the spray bottle tip touch the client’s skin. Reusable tattoo tubes should never be cleaned solely with green soap, as it does not replace an ultrasonic cleaner or autoclave.
