Tattoo artist handing off a Banger Bar to a client after a fresh tattoo

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

Banger Bars with natural ingredients — olive oil, shea butter, sea buckthorn
Why the product works

The soap is the hero.
Not the balm.

In 2016 the FDA found zero evidence antibacterial soap works better than plain soap. Antibacterial agents strip the skin microbiome your client needs during the healing window.

Banger is cold-process, zero antibacterial agents. 1,500+ artists updated their recommendation because of it.

VeganParaben-FreeSulfate-FreeCold-ProcessHypoallergenicMade 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 — every wash delivers moisture conventional soaps cannot.

Shea Butter

Rich in vitamins A and E. Supports the skin barrier during healing without clogging pores. Gentle on the most sensitive healing skin.

Sea Buckthorn Oil

The only plant-based source with all four essential omega fatty acids. Supports barrier repair during the critical first days after tattooing.

Day 1 Bar — Featured Ingredient

Omega 7 — found in almost no other plant-based oil — is chosen specifically for what it brings to the healing window. Not a cosmetic filler. A functional ingredient. Zero antibacterial agents. 42% olive oil. Cold-process to retain natural glycerin.

Colby Colquitt, Founder and CEO of Banger Tattoo Care
From the Founder

I Did Not Start This Company to Make Another Tattoo Balm.

That is not where the problem was.

The industry has been fighting over lotions and salves 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 strips the exact bacteria your clients skin needs to heal.

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 Colquitt Founder and CEO, Banger Tattoo Care
Not a sponsorship. A partnership.

We do not seek artists with a million followers.

We seek artists who use Banger because it works for their clients and do not need to be paid to recommend it.

Anyone who does the work correctly and cares about their clients belongs here. All tattoos need to heal. Not just the expensive ones.

Why Artists Switch

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

2016 FDA reviewed antibacterial soap
0 Evidence it prevents infection 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.

01

The FDA Ruling

In September 2016 the FDA banned 19 antibacterial agents including triclosan and triclocarban. No manufacturer could prove they work better than plain soap. The ruling applied directly to the products on most aftercare sheets.

02

The Skin Microbiome

Your skin hosts beneficial bacteria that protect healing wounds. Antibacterial soap does not distinguish between harmful and beneficial bacteria. It disrupts the exact defense system your clients need most during the healing window.

03

The Format Difference

Liquid cleansers strip skin oils at the moment healing skin needs them most. Cold-process bar soap retains natural glycerin and cleanses without stripping. Your clients 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.

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