Any sort of antibacterial soap works fine such as Dial or Provon. I know a lot of artists who love to use Dove soap as well. That is not to say that anything effectively matches the antiseptic properties of the Green Soap, but you can use this to supplement so you're not burning through it so quick.
In many instances a good wipe down of medical grade green soap before and after the tattoo is the standard for many artists. The artist will apply the soap solution to the skin before he or she shaves the area to be tattooed and will be wiping it a lot throughout the tattoo with the same solution. After the tattoo is complete, the area will be thoroughly cleaned with the green soap and will then be wrapped in a sterile dressing.
You don't. Any method other than using a sharpie to draw on your skin is dangerous.
Yes, any place you have skin on your body, you can tattoo, and even some other places, such as eyeballs, though these are extremely rarely done.
No. It will only affect the top layers of skin. It doesn't affect behaviour. If someone displays changes after having a tattoo than I would suggest that these problems were already part of their psyche.
No no no! A&D ointment and Lubriderm lotion. From a tattoo junkie, and someone who used to work in a parlor, thats what I recommend to all of my friends. Both products are non-irritating and help keep the skin smooth IMHO I don't itch as much when I use that combination. WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T USE VASELINE, that will cause the ink to draw out of the skin and the tattoo will fade quickly
Use pure undiluted liquid Green Soap, which can be purchased at any tattoo supply shop or online. Green Soap also washes tattoo ink off of skin.
It will typically burn the freshly braised skin and possibly dilute the newly applied pigment. A mild soap or typical "green-soap" is best to clean the area.
Some of the Symptoms of Tattoo Poisoning are swollen skin and irritation. Other symptoms are flaky skin, rashes and even dry skin.

Normal tattoos in themselves cannot cause death. However, if the tattoo ink is mixed with a poison that can be absorbed in the skin and is lethal, then a tattoo would kill someone, but only in that circumstance. Other than that, a tattoo cannot cause death.
The tattoo is on your skin. If your skin stretches, so will the tattoo.

NO you shouldn't apply soap that can irritate the skin. What tattooers apply to a tattoo while being done is a type of balm to help sooth the skin.
.... is a method of removing an unwanted tattoo that involves tattooing a agent into the skin that bonds with the tattoo pigment and helps to expel it to the skin surface. Yes it does work!
While it is normal for many people to have a reaction after tattoo removal (I assume you're referring to laser tattoo removal and not some other process), any skin issue appearing after either a tattoo, body piercing, or tattoo removal, warrants a trip to the doctor to rule out more serious issues like infection. Remember that laser tattoo removal works on the ink, not the skin. However, higher heat lasers can cause rashes and blistering on the upper layer of skin from prolonged exposure.
A tattoo is when someone uses a needle to place ink in your skin. If you choose to put a permanent mark on your body, then you can decide if you want it to mean something or not. It can be special to you and not mean anything to someone else, but the bottom line is that you can decide what to put on your body.
