Green Soap

Green Soap for tattoo artists

Green soap is a high-grade skin disinfectant. Typically, you’ll only find it used for medical purposes, by tattoo artists, and by piercing artists. Healthcare professionals might clean their hands with green soap before putting gloves on to perform a medical procedure.

Green soap is used in tattoo and piercing studios for everything from prepping the tattoo or piercing site to cleaning tattoo machines. It’s a great remover of dirt, blood, and tattoo ink. Because it’s non-corrosive, it can also be used to safely soak equipment to loosen dried debris before cleaning and sterilization.

Green soap is a vegetable oil-based, water-soluble, environmentally safe soap that is commonly used in tattoo and piercing studios.

Unlike traditional soap mixes, most green soap is plant-based and earth-friendly.

It is called “green soap” by tattoo artists, who place the soap into a spray bottle and dilute the soap with water prior to the tattoo procedure.

The spray bottle allows the tattoo artist to apply the solution to client’s skin without even touching the client, to keep the procedure safe and sanitary.
