The Part Nobody Talks About

A $30 tattoo balm can't save a tattoo your soap already ruined.

So why are your clients washing fresh tattoos with generic antibacterial soap? The industry spent a decade arguing over balm ingredients. The soap recommendation never changed. That's the gap Banger was built to fill.

The soap is the hero. Not because it heals — because it determines whether healing can happen at all.

What the soap actually does

If the soap strips the skin barrier, the balm is not healing. It is just managing the damage.

You are telling clients to wash a fresh tattoo 2 to 3 times a day for two to three weeks. That is up to 60 washes on healing skin. The soap sets the baseline with every single one. Support the barrier with the right soap from day one and the balm can do what it was actually designed to do.

Basic chemistry

Soap does not kill bacteria. It lifts them.

When you lather a bar, surfactants activate. They physically encapsulate dirt, wound fluid, and bacteria inside the lather. When you rinse, it all goes straight down the drain. The bar resets with every wash. No antibacterial chemistry needed — and no microbiome damage either.

What the FDA found in 2016

Zero evidence antibacterial soap outperforms plain soap. The aftercare sheet never got the update.

The FDA reviewed over-the-counter antibacterial soaps and found no clinical benefit over plain soap and water. Antibacterial agents do not distinguish between harmful and beneficial bacteria — they strip both equally. On a fresh tattoo, where the skin barrier is open and the microbiome is the first line of defense, that disruption happens at exactly the wrong moment on every wash.

Tattoo artist handing Banger Bar to client after session
A New Category

Banger Bars are not a reformulated shop soap. They are a new product format that did not exist before — cold-process bar soap, made specifically for new tattoos, individually wrapped in 0.4oz bars so you can hand one to every client at the end of the session.

Not a pump on the counter. Not a shared bar by the sink. One bar per client, sized for the handoff, gone when the heal is done.

Not formulated for showers. Formulated for the 60 washes after a fresh tattoo. Packaged for the moment the session ends.

0.4oz Per bar. Sized for one heal.
60 Max washes per client. One bar covers the full heal.
$1.31 Per client handoff on the Starter Plan.

Colby Colquitt, Founder of Banger Tattoo Care — I didn't start this company to make another balm. I started it to fix the wash.
The Founder's Why

My name is Colby. I'm not an artist. I'm not a chemist by training either. I run Banger because tattooing is the thing I care about, and building for this industry is how I get to be part of it.

The industry moved forward everywhere except one place. Equipment got better. Technique got better. Ink got better. The soap recommendation stayed frozen from a decade most artists weren't even working yet.

Everyone else was fighting over the balm. I didn't want another jar. I wanted to fix the thing that determines whether the balm can work at all. Every ingredient in Banger Bars is a decision built around the 60 washes your client is about to do.

This isn't a founder story about credentials. It's about someone who loves this industry enough to spend a year getting the wash right — because the people in that chair deserve better than a decade-old ingredient list nobody rechecked.

Colby Colquitt Founder, Banger Tattoo Care

Common Questions

Before you switch the protocol.

Is bar soap safe on a fresh tattoo?

Yes, when it is cold-process, fragrance-free, and individually wrapped for a single client. The only real concern with bar soap was shared-use contamination. One bar per client eliminates that entirely.

Why not just use a gentle antibacterial soap?

The FDA found zero evidence antibacterial agents outperform plain soap. More importantly, those agents strip the skin microbiome — the exact biological system the body uses to defend a fresh wound. Banger Bars contain none.

What counts as 2 consecutive orders?

Two consecutive subscription orders on any cadence — monthly, every 2 months, every 3 months, or every 4 months. Your spot locks on order 1. Your banner ships and your map pin goes live after order 2 confirms.

Does the balm still matter?

Yes. The soap sets the foundation by not stripping the barrier and not disrupting the microbiome. The balm supports moisture after. Both matter. In that order.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No minimums beyond qualifying for the program. Skip, pause, or cancel anytime from your subscriber dashboard.

How many bars do I need per week?

One bar per client per session. A 24-pack covers roughly 24 clients. If you are doing 6 to 8 sessions per week, the Starter Plan on a monthly cadence is the right fit. Higher-volume artists typically choose the Pro 72-pack.
