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.
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.
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.
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.
ivory or any kind of bar soap.
It usually means some kind of land. If the land is a different color then it might be areas of higher altitude such as mountains or hills.
Green soap is never to be used on puncture wound (which a piercing is). If you have been instructed to use green soap then you have been given harmful information. See another professional body piercer of assistance.
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.
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.
Ya if you need it use it
liquid soap is better because who wants to use someone old nasty bar soap with all of that sick sweat for other people not me
yes. please. if not for yourself than for the people around you. and don't just use that axe or tag body spray stuff. use deoderant as well.

no , we do not stink. we use deoderant and take showers lol
hello there that is an exellent question but actually dove liquid soap works better than any bar or liquid soap because bar soap doesnt use all the chemicals they use in it and dove has moisturiser in itthank you for asking that question sincernilyElizabeth C
i think so, much better when you use soap that are natural, papaya soap,charcoal etc.
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.
when you get in the shower use some body wash or soap that smells good then when you get out make shore you have a dry and clean towel and dry yourself off then put on some perfume and deodorant and clean clothes then you will smell good.
