Hibiclens soap as green soap?

[aaryka.vondean3]

I went and bought Hibiclens Chlorheidine Gluconate solution and was told tattoo artist use it all the time. I want to make sure I should be using it as green soap like they say or if I really shouldn’t. PLEASE HELP :(

From what I’ve read it seems it’s a skin cleanser and antiseptic. however I’m not sure how it would work with open wounds during a tattoo. i didnt find any references to it being used during the tattoo process.

This is used to clean skin and as an antibacterial in healthcare to scrub up and sterilize yourself before a procedure. It’s meant to be washed off after application. It’s not good to use this on a tattoo. You can use this as a prep to kill MRSA, bacteria, etc., that is on the skin before you tattoo a client but do not spray this on a tattoo after it’s done. Also, even green soap needs to be properly diluted as it can be irritating to the skin. Some tattoo artists dilute the green soap with Witch Hazel to keep down swelling and irritation associated with the tattoo process.
