Purpose-built for the handoff. Purpose-built for healing.
Banger Bars are individually wrapped cold-process bar soap bars built specifically for tattooed skin. Zero antibacterial agents. Zero fragrance. Microbiome-safe. Formulated to cleanse without stripping the skin barrier your clients need intact to heal correctly.
Each bar is portioned for one client. One session. One handoff. Wrap the tattoo, hand them the bar, and they walk out with exactly what they need to take care of the work you just put in. No measuring. No shared dispensers. No generic soap that was never built for this.
The FDA reviewed antibacterial soap in 2016 and found zero evidence it works better than plain soap for wound care. The aftercare sheet never caught up. Banger was built to fix that. Your clients heal better. Your work shows up the way it should.
One bar. One client. Every session.
A subscription that saves you money. Plus something no other brand offers.
Save 15% on your first order. Then get something no discount code can give you. Two consecutive subscription orders is all it takes.
A Custom Founding Artist Banner. Your Name On It.
A high quality printed display banner built for your station. Your name or Instagram handle printed directly on it. Your clients will see it every session. They will ask about it. We ask for your details after your first qualifying order and ship the banner within 2 to 3 weeks of your second order confirming.

The aftercare recommendation has not changed in a decade. The science has.
"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 2016Three reasons 1,250+ artists updated their aftercare recommendation.
The FDA Ruling
In September 2016 the FDA banned 19 antibacterial agents from consumer soaps including triclosan and triclocarban, the ingredients in Dial Gold and Safeguard. No manufacturer could prove they work better than plain soap and water. The ruling applied directly to the products on most aftercare sheets. The sheets were never updated.
FDA Consumer Update, September 2016. fda.gov
The Skin Microbiome
Your skin hosts trillions of beneficial bacteria that actively protect healing wounds. They produce natural antimicrobials, compete with harmful bacteria, maintain pH balance, and signal the immune system. Antibacterial soap does not distinguish between harmful and beneficial bacteria. It disrupts the exact defense system your clients need most during the healing window.
Golding et al., PLOS ONE 2018 / Pastar et al., Burns and Trauma 2024
The Format Difference
Liquid and foam cleansers are 60 to 80 percent water. They strip skin oils at exactly the moment healing skin needs them most. Cold-process bar soap retains natural glycerin and unsaponified fatty acids. It cleanses without stripping. The microbiome stays intact between washes. Your clients skin feels like skin after, not like it survived something.
Chimsook T., Molecules / PMC 2018
"In Canada, all bloodborne pathogen training covers not using antibacterial soaps or creams unless you have an infected tattoo."

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. An endless ingredient war. 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.
The Founding Artist Program is not a sponsorship. It is a partnership. You support us by doing aftercare right. We support you by sending business back. From apprentices to legends. That is why Banger exists.
We do not seek artists with a million followers.
We seek artists who use Banger because it works for their clients. Artists who hand a bar to every person who sits in their chair because they believe it is the right thing to do. Artists who do not need to be paid to recommend it.
You support us by doing aftercare right. We support you by sending our customers to your page and sharing your work when you tag us.
From apprentices to legends. Every artist who uses this product and loves it deserves more clients, more visibility, and more recognition for doing their craft right.
That is what we are building. A community of artists who got here first. And a brand that sends business back to the people who made it worth something.
Use the right product for your clients. Subscribe because it works. Recommend it because you believe in it.
Send our customers to your page. Feature your profile on our website. Share your work when you tag us.
Tag us in your work. We will show up. 🔶
