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.

What should a tattoo artist use to clean the skin before and after a tattoo?

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.

Does getting a tattoo or piercing affect your brain?

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.


Can you put Vaseline intensive care LOTION on tattoo?

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

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.

Is a rash normal after laser tattoo removal?

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.


What is a tattoo and does it have to have a meaning behind it?

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.
