Of the two...green soap. But I use neither for stencil purposes, as I'm sure that's what you are asking this for. Instead, it is better to use a stencil solution. A good solution will keep the stencil on the skin for the duration of the whole tattoo, even if you are constantly wiping (which really you should dab the puddle rather than wipe). Find and buy an antiseptic disenfectant called Dettoll, it is sold in most drug stores and pharmacies, and mix 1 part of Dettol to 7 parts equal distilled water. Voila! Great and easy solution.

What can you use other than green soap on the skin when you tattoo someone?

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 is the best stencil solution for applying stencil to the skin green soap stencil pro or speed stick?

The industry standard for applying stencils is Tincture of Green Soap. Stencil Pro works well, though it needs a few minutes to dry thoroughly after application of the stencil from my experience. The best advice is to use petroleum jelly or A&D ointment only in the precise areas you are tattooing. In other words, don't cover the entire stencil with either before you begin the tattoo. Only use it and wipe it on as you move along. That will preserve stencils much longer. Also, only use water to gently wipe away excessive ink during the lining process. Finally, yes it works, but throw the speed stick away or only use it to keep your underarms tolerable. Green Soap works MUCH better. I do indeed agree with the above answer, but a better solution than green soap is what is known as Detoll soap. It works much better than green soap for keeping the stencil on the skin no matter how much you have to dab and or wipe the excess ink away, but this is also sometimes a problem because depending on how strong the solution is, because a good deal of the stencil may still be there after you are done with the tattoo. In any event though, for this solution, you will mix 1 equal part of Detoll soap with 7 equal parts distilled water and the end result should have the solution an amber color and it will smell slightly like Pinesol. Speed stick is not advisable since most of them carry trace amounts of aluminum in them, and therefore is bad to be pushing in the skin.


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.

How much do you dilute green soap?

Green soap is typically diluted at a ratio of 1 part green soap to 9 parts water for general use in medical and tattooing applications. However, the dilution ratio may vary depending on the specific application and concentration of the green soap solution required.


Is it bad not to put water on green soap?

It is generally recommended to dilute green soap with water before use, as it can be too harsh and drying for the skin otherwise. Water helps to reduce the concentration of the soap and make it gentler on the skin. If you use straight green soap without diluting it, it may cause skin irritation or dryness.
