For years professional tattoo artists have used the brand Tincture of Green soap all throughout the tattooing procedure as it is in fact a soap of medical level. With Green soap being so high-grade it is not available from stores and can only be purchased from companies that sell medical and tattoo supplies.
The solution is added to a spray bottle for ease of use and to lower the amount of contact the artist has to make with the clients skin, as well as providing an easy way to dilute the potentially harmful soap.
Green soap is a mild soap that contains isopropyl alcohol and glycerine. The glycerine works against the alcohols drying effect and moisturises and improves the skins texture when being used. There are no animal-based ingredients, nor dye or fillers making it natural and biodegradable. Thus how it got the name of Green Soap, not due to the colouring of it. (It’s not even green!)
However, green soap can cause irritation to the eyes and skin so make sure that you have the correctly diluted solution, or that you have diluted it correctly yourself. The use of green soap is also only for external purposes only so you must avoid getting it in your mouth as it could potentially be harmful.
