What you're subscribing to

The only aftercare product
built for the handoff.

Most artists either give nothing at checkout or hand clients a travel-size bottle of generic liquid soap from the drugstore. Some give a commercial bar. Those options share the same problem: the product was not built for this moment. Liquid soap in a small container costs more per client than it looks, and it is still the wrong formula. A commercial bar is the right format but the wrong product. Banger is the only bar built specifically for the handoff: portioned for one client, sealed until use, and made without the antibacterial agents the FDA pulled from consumer washes in 2016. $1.39 per client at the 24-pack rate.

Artist handing off a Banger Bar to a client

One bar per client. Individually wrapped. Day one through the full aftercare window.

0.4oz per client. Sealed until use.

Portioned for one client. Not a shared bottle, not a bar that sits out session after session. $1.39 per client at the 24-pack rate.

Zero antibacterial agents. By design.

The FDA pulled triclosan and triclocarban from consumer washes in 2016. We never put them in. Most soap on aftercare sheets is still antibacterial.

We are not a full aftercare line. No lotion. No spray. No foam wash. One product, built for one moment: the handoff. The bar format made it possible to do that right. Every product we build has to clear that same bar: solve something no other product solves, or solve it better than anything that already does. So that is all we make.

Why We Built This

For a decade, brands built their Pro Teams around follower counts. Ten thousand minimum. Fifty thousand preferred. They DM'd someone else. The artists with full books and zero deals never got the call.

We looked at something different. We looked at what you hand your clients at the end of a session. Whether the aftercare routine you built your reputation on is the right one, not just the one everyone else copied.

Day 1 is not about when you found Banger. It is about the standard you have held for your clients from the beginning. That is the only qualification that matters here.

Individually wrapped for the handoff. One bar per client, day one through the full aftercare window.

Why the product works

The soap is the hero.
Not the balm.

Banger is cold process with zero antibacterial agents. Built for the first wash, not the last step. 1,500+ artists updated their recommendation because of it.

VeganParaben-FreeSulfate-FreeCold-ProcessFragrance-FreeMade in USA

Olive Oil (42%)

Rich in oleic acid. Cleanses without stripping. Delivers fatty acids to support barrier function during every wash.

Natural Glycerin

Commercial soaps extract glycerin to sell separately. Cold process retains it, so every wash delivers moisture conventional soaps cannot.

Shea Butter

Rich in vitamins A and E. Supports the skin barrier through the aftercare window without clogging pores. Gentle on fresh, sensitive skin.

Sea Buckthorn Oil

Contains omegas 3, 6, 7 and 9 in a single oil. Supports the skin barrier during the critical first days after tattooing.

Day 1 Bar: Featured Ingredient

Omega 7, found in very few plant-based oils, is chosen specifically for what it brings to the aftercare window. Not a cosmetic filler. A functional ingredient. Zero antibacterial agents. 42% olive oil. Cold-process to retain natural glycerin.

Colby Colquitt, Founder of Banger Tattoo Care

From the Founder

I Did Not Start This Company to Make Another Balm.

That is not where the problem was.

The industry has been building Pro Teams around follower counts for years. Meanwhile the first step of aftercare has not changed in a decade.

The wash.

Artists are doing world-class work. Then sending clients home with antibacterial soap the FDA reviewed in 2016 and found zero evidence of benefit for. Soap that cannot tell the bacteria your client's skin needs from the ones it does not.

So I stepped out of the ingredient war and built something for that moment. Not to compete over lotion. To fix the foundation. That is why Banger exists.

Colby ColquittFounder and CEO, Banger Tattoo Care

Not a sponsorship. A partnership.

We have never once checked a follower count to decide if an artist belongs here.

We seek artists who use Banger because it works for their clients, not because someone paid them to say so.

Anyone who does the work correctly and cares about their clients belongs here. Every tattoo deserves the right first wash.

Why Artists Switch

The aftercare recommendation has not changed in a decade. The science has.

2016FDA reviewed antibacterial soap

0Evidence it prevents illness better than plain soap

“There is currently no evidence that over-the-counter antibacterial soaps are better at preventing illness than washing with plain soap and water.”

U.S. Food and Drug Administration, September 2016

The Science

Three reasons 1,500+ artists updated their aftercare recommendation.

The FDA Ruling

In September 2016 the FDA removed 19 antibacterial ingredients, including triclosan and triclocarban, from consumer washes. Manufacturers had not shown they were safe for daily use or worked better than plain soap.

The Skin Microbiome

Your skin hosts beneficial bacteria that help protect a fresh tattoo. Antibacterial soap does not distinguish between harmful and beneficial bacteria. It can disrupt the defense system your clients need most in the first weeks.

The Format Difference

Liquid cleansers strip skin oils at the moment fresh skin needs them most. Cold-process bar soap retains natural glycerin and cleanses without stripping. Your client's skin feels like skin after, not like it survived something.

What is in the bar

42% olive oil. Sea buckthorn fruit oil. Zero antibacterial agents. Cold-process.

From the comments on our viral post

“In Canada, all bloodborne pathogen training covers not using antibacterial soaps or creams unless you have an infected tattoo.”

Common Questions

Everything you need before you subscribe.

When do I qualify, and when does my banner ship?

Order 1 is the subscription order you place today. Order 2 is your next scheduled delivery. We email you after order 1 to collect your details, and your banner ships within 2 to 3 weeks of order 2 confirming.

What goes on my banner?

Your name or @handle exactly as you want it. We collect this via email after your first order.

What goes on my Trusted Artists Map pin?

Your name, city, photo, and a booking link. Goes live after order 2 confirms.

What if I already have one subscription order?

Your spot is locked. Your next subscription order triggers your banner and your map pin. Email us if you have not heard from us.

Can I cancel after I qualify?

Yes. No minimums beyond two orders. Pause, skip, or adjust anytime. Your banner is yours permanently. Your map pin stays active as long as your subscription does. Lapse 90+ days and it is forfeited.

How long is the Founding Artist program open?

We capped it at 100 artists this summer and it filled in under 30 days. The requests to get back in didn't stop, so we reopened it one last time. We're down to the last 27 spots. Two orders locks your spot and the Founding Artist title is yours permanently. It prints on this banner and every future Banger banner you earn. Once these are gone, the title retires. Artists who join after this still earn banners. The Founding Artist name won't be on them.

Do Founding Artists get anything else?

Yes. Founding Artists get first access to new products before they go public, and exclusive subscriber-only promos from Banger as they roll out. These come automatically as long as your subscription stays active. No opt-in required.
